Tristesse Mmmbop, da ba duba Join Date: Jan 2012 Location: the basement Posts: 360	Monster is a bad album, in contrast to some of their other work. 'What's The Frequency Kenneth' is a good song, but it's one of the most commonly played R.E.M songs on the radio, which has lowered it's value to me. I guess that overplaying songs ruins them for me. Bad Day and It's The End of the World are my two favourite R.E.M songs, and the band said that the songs were 'cousins', so that explains why I like them both so much. Reveal is a great album. Quite mellow. Nice and relaxing. I wouldn't say there was a bad song on it.
