	Monster (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Monster is R.E.M. 's ninth album, and their fourth major label release for Warner Bros., released in 1994.
		After declining to tour for their last two albums, R.E.M. embarked on a long world tour in 1995, one which would see three of its members hospitalized and, from which, soundcheck recordings would form the basis for their next album, 1996's New Adventures in Hi-Fi.
		The caption "For River" is a dedication to late actor River Phoenix, a friend of Michael Stipe's, who died of a drug overdose of cocaine and heroin on 31 October 1993.

	R.E.M.'s Monster captures a range of emotions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		R.E.M.'s new album Monster is a pleasant and surprising departure from their recent work in Automatic For the People and Out of Time.
		Monster captures a wide range of emotions, without ever retreating to the self-indulgent and depressed mood that so deflated those albums.
		Monster is enjoyable and intriguing, even outside of the context of such an interesting band as R.E.M. I rate the album four stars out of five.

	Monster - Music
		Monster as you know is the most perfect and eloquent theme eever recorded by this group.
		"Monster" is 9:16 and 9:56 on those two versions, which meant radio airplay was out of the question (even in the post "In-a-gadda-da-vida" period) except in a horribly cut down version that made it to #39 on the Billboard pop chart.
		What "Monster" proves is that there was more to Steppenwolf than their place in music history as the group that recorded the ultimate "gas'n'go" anthem with "Born to Be Wild." But then the fact that this was a rock ground named after a Herman Hesse novel might have been a clue all by itself.

	Music Review for June 3 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Monster Magnet has always been one of my favorite rock groups, and their last release, 2001’s “God Says No” was a complete letdown in my opinion.
		I had heard that MM were going back to their roots, back to the brand of acid rock that made them so famous in the 90’s.
		I think I expected an album that could be called “Powertrip #2” or something similar, but that’s what I get for reading ahead and forming my expectations prior to the release.

		This is by far the best, most fully and successfully realised Monster Magnet record and will no doubt stand as one of the classic psychedelic metal albums of all time.
		Monster Magnest Best album I think, a real Monster Space Trip you will love There is not one bad song in sight.
		Later albums could be deemed a more pure, hard form of Rock, and though I love all of the Magnet's albums, this one still holds a special place in my heart.

		But the best thing about MONSTER is that in their quest not to repeat themselves, to push the envelope on their performance style--to change their sound--R.E.M. has dipped back into their roots and emerged with a truly classic rock album.
		I think this album has to be isolated from their previous (and later) albums to be appreciated.
		I guess that following on from such 'great' albums as 'Out of Time' and 'Automatic for the People' was an almost impossible task, and that anything other than the greatest album of the decade would have been a dissapointment, but I feel that 'Monster' showes REM at their most courageous.

	R.E.M. : Monster - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Monster is indeed R.E.M. 's long-promised "rock" album; it just doesn't rock in the way one might expect.
		Instead of R.E.M. 's trademark anthemic bashers, Monster offers a set of murky sludge, powered by the heavily distorted and delayed guitar of Peter Buck.
		Monster doesn't have the conceptual unity or consistently brilliant songwriting of Automatic for the People, but it does offer a wide range of sonic textures that have never been heard on an R.E.M. album before.

	Daily Vault - November 18, 2004
		Monster promised a return to the more guitar-oriented sounds that made Document so beloved.
		Monster is not a career suicide album that would force people to turn in their copies.
		The only problem is that for fans of R.E.M., it's hard to look at post-Document albums as albums and more as stages of development, or notches on a growth chart for the band.

	Comfort Stand Recordings — Chenard Walcker & Roy 'Chicky' Arad - Monster
		It occurred that, for one of the tunes, Chenard Walcker sampled the voice of Roy 'Chicky' Arad, taken from his album 'Tourists, come to Israel, it's a nice country'.
		He takes elements from albums made by others to create new songs and his music is to be taken as an auditive photocollage as his visual art for which he only uses scissors and glue.
		The release date for album is on the same day as Roy 'Chicky' Arad's solo album, "Sputnik In Love" on WM Recordings.

	Prindle Record Reviews - R.E.M.
		The album, unfortunately, ends on a sour note with "little america", which has a pretty good riff but the rest of the song just sounds half-baked and the chorus is a wretched, unmelodic mess.
		The hits deserved to be hits, but overall the album was missing some of the melodiousness that REM usually manages to put in their albums.
		The album shows full use of their talents, going from acoustic instruments, to rock guitars, to strings, not to mention Michael's voice at his best, and then there are the lyrics.

	MTV - Music - Artist - Monster Magnet
		In the meantime, Monster Magnet had signed with independent label Caroline Records in 1992, and recorded their first full-length album: the very impressive, uniquely dark psychedelic masterpiece Spine of God.
		By far the group's most straightforward hard rock album, Powertrip channeled all of Sin City's vice, greed, and sex into its hedonistic but surprisingly accessible tracks, and first single "Space Lord" went on to dominate rock radio that summer, driving the album over the gold sales plateau.
		But, Monster Magnet duly reunited for a short North American tour in early 2002 and, a year later, a new deal with the German SPV label was announced.

	R.E.M. 13: R.E.M. conquers Osaka
		Although the "Monster" tour was plagued with health issues and hardship, it was considered a success, and sent R.E.M. to the top of their game, commercially.
		One Japanese guy in his mid-20's told me that he started listening to R.E.M. after their "Monster" album, and was not familiar with any of the music before that 1994 release.
		Another Japanese guy in his early to mid 30's confessed his favorite album was 1991's "Out Of Time," which includes such famous songs as "Losing My Religion" and "Radio Song." I also had the pleasure of sitting next to a cool girl from Adelaide, Australia, who was a fan of their entire catalog.

		Expecting Monster Magnet to change from art-sludge-psych monsters into sweet cuddlebunnies from album to album clearly demonstrates a loss of reason.
		Wyndorf's singing is a touch crisper in the mix this time out, while the guitar playing is even more powerfully direct and epic amidst all the space-out swirl and rockets to the moon.
		It's the secret weapon of the album as a whole, turning Monster Magnet's gift for the large scale into something that's almost uplifting, often connecting with a listener instead of dominating one.

		this album had the potential to be the best rock n roll album of the nineties - noisy, sparsely produced and and a big 'up yours' to their own bosses at warner.
		They did a monster and told all their new fans to f@ck off by making a completely different album from Out Of Time and Automatic For The People, and of course many people disliked it and started to cry.
		This album is great grunge rock and REM continue this sound with the even better New Adventures in Hi Fi.

		This album was commonly misunderstood to be a Gong album because of the presence of Daevid and Gilli, plus the stylistic similarities: Steffe Sharpstrings sounded similar to Gong's Steve Hillage and Gavin da Blitz was a dead ringer for Tim Blake.
		His next album, L was supposed to be his breakthrough into mainstream popularity, so he came to New York to record the album with Todd Rundgren as producer.
		His album Castle Of Noi is quite good, pre-dates the first TS album, and in pretty much the same style, with lots of symphonic stylings and Japanese vocals.

		This album was written and recorded on the road during the Monster tour, with some songs later recorded in studios.
		Whereas Monster concentrated on distorted vocals and personas, the main distortion here is through the passage of time and the glint of a whisky glass (`just add water stir in lime').
		The album has clearly been made by a 5 star band in 5 star form with a compelling mix of country-like songs and Monster album rock.

	Monster Zero, MP3 Album Music Download at eMusic
		This band of four persons from the Seattle area is doing stuff that very few of the other artists in the city are: This is pseudo-shoegazer electro-pop at its finest.
		This is definitely an album which is meant to be listened to as a whole; no detaching a song here or there for criticism or praise.
		As an album that rises or falls based on the ability of the songs to stay cohesive and entertaining, Monster Zero doesn't fail one bit.

	Monster \| music : ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
		On its 11th-man, how time flies- album, Monster (Warner Bros.), the band plugs back in after two relatively subdued, largely acoustic albums (the filler-packed Out of Time and the almost churchly Automatic for the People) that touched on every sonic possibility except the jingle-jangle hymns of its first records.
		Younger bands who were probably in high school when R.E.M. debuted continue to demonstrate the major role Michael Stipe has played in their lives, but Monster proves no one cranks the amplifiers and mumbles lyrics in quite the same thrilling way as the originators.
		Monster reminds you how charged a band R.E.M. can be, but receiving only half its message is like having an intensely personal, confessional phone conversation with a friend on a cellular phone that keeps cutting in and out.

	DOA - Monster Movie - Last Night Something Happened
		If this is true, then it is beneficial to Monster Movie that they also did not rip-off that German band's sound.
		The movie continues a few songs later with "Star City." This song puts the listener at the scene of the crime, the day after the small-town family in the middle of nowhere was murdered.
		Where Slowdive's Souvlaki was so Eno-inspired that the man even produced the album and lent his hand to two tracks, Monster Movie's debut LP only shows hints of that Eno sound.

	The Blanks \| Lopnihood Online \| Album Review: Bean Monster Rituals (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Most notably, the author incorrectly states that “the dominant instrument on the tape is an antiquated Moog synthesizer.” Aside from his perplexing use of the word “antiquated,” the driving sound he refers to is Ran's Casio keyboard.
		Recorded on the eighth day of the eighth month of 1988, the Blanks Bean Monster Rituals is a tribute to the nonsensical silliness that seems to permeate much of the garage-rock genre of popular music.
		Now, there's absolutely no way of knowing if there was any alcohol consumed during the recording sessions, but suffice it to say that at many points, the cassette sounds as though when the mikes were on and the tape was rolling, the band was partly there but partly somewhere else – an altered consciousness, perhaps.

	Monster by Steppenwolf CD
		But with 1969's MONSTER, the band's fourth release, Steppenwolf showed a political side.
		While the album didn't contain any radio-ready top-40 hits, the album as a whole remains an impressive accomplishment.
		John Kay and company voice their opinions on the then-raging Vietnam War and the dark side of the judicial system and politics.

		The album takes all the media apporved tools for public offense and plasticizes for the non-issues that they are.
		With any other album, this would mean that the band was lost and floundering, as with the SUGAR RAY: LEMONADE AND COOKIES cover of the naked blonde in the doggie position.
		Marilyn Manson, Monster Magnet, and KMFDM all over their bookbags would get them the attention they lacked at home and make the other kids/tormentors afraid of them.

	EvilSponge: Album: Last Night Something Happened by Monster Movie
		After hearing the last Mojave 3 disc, and a little of his latest solo album, i wonder why he gave up trying to make interesting music and instead has devoted his time to trying to be Nick Drake?
		It's as if the real strength of Monster Movie is writing a catchy chorus that gets your toes tapping and your head bopping, while the rest of their songs (the verses) are just filler between choruses.
		But the album is not all sunshine and catchy choruses.
