R.E.M. - You (Monster, Remastered)

#REM #Monster25
A deluxe box set edition (5-CD/1-Blu-ray) features the original album (remastered), plus special remixes from the original Monster producer Scott Litt, a disc of previously unreleased demos, as well as a complete live 1995 performance captured in Chicago.

The accompanying Blu-ray offers Monster in both hi-resolution audio and 5.1 Surround Sound, a host of video content: the 90-minute film Road Movie, which documents R.E.M.’s 1995 tour, and all six music videos from Monster.

The collection is packaged in a five-and-a-half-inch portfolio book, featuring liner notes by journalist Matthew Perpetua—with new interviews from band members—and archival photographs.

Expanded editions, offering the original album and the remixed version, are available on two 180-gram vinyl LPs or two CDs, both featuring reimagined cover art by longtime R.E.M. designer Chris Bilheimer.

The remastered album is also available as a standalone 180-gram vinyl LP, with the original 1994 Monster artwork.

Digital editions of the album mirror the complete deluxe audio content—remastered, remixed and live— available across all streaming and download platforms. Digital breakouts will also offer the remastered and remixed album in hi-resolution (88.1/24).

I dig the church bell in the chorus. Monster is a great example of what I love about REM. They were arguably the biggest band in the world in '94 and THIS is the album they put out?

Watching this video I have pretty sure that it is my favourite R.E.M. song. Then I listen another R.E.M. song and have the same sure again...🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

[keelangibson]

Oooh weee. This is some good shit y'all...

[TheDiceMan]

Let the sun beat through the clouds
Let me kiss you on the mouth
All my childhood toys with chew marks in your smile
Let me hold your syrup close to mine
Let me watch you, Hollywood and Vine
And I want you like the movies, touch me now
I love you crazy, just keep on
I love you madly, just keep watch
You wipe my lips
You turn me on
My attentions are turned to you
Did I dream you were a tourist
In the Arizona sun?
I can see you there with lunar moths
And watermelon gum
I woke up in the sleeping bag
With nowhere else to run
You're standing in the bathroom
Telling me it's all in fun
I love you crazy, just keep on
I love you madly, just keep watch
You wipe my lips
You turn me on
My attentions are turned to you
I can whisper in your ear
I can write a calendar year
I can wing around your Saturn smile, shout at the moon
I walked the tension wire line
And I learned to disrespect the signs
And I want you like a Pisces rising, even though
I love you crazy, just keep on
I love you madly, just keep watch
You wipe my lips
You turn me on
My attentions are turned to you, you, you, you

[DreadfulExMile]

Is the "I want you like a Pisces Rising" a reference to Cobain since Cobain was a Pisces? I don't know much about Astrology but aren't "Pisces Rising" like a really rare sign or something?

Why? Did you produce it? Silly banana 😊..

this song reminds me of cannibal lesbians making out by the lake in a forest on a sweltering summer day in the late 80s
