Coming from a long break in touring (the band famously didn’t tour with the two previous records), \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eMonster\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e represented an intentional shift in R.E.M.’s sound, a “return to rock” with guitar laden, simple arrangements. It was released to strong reviews and significant global success – reaching #1 on Billboard, and least 7 other countries. The album includes the singles; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat’s The Frequency, Kenneth?, Crush with Eyeliner, Bang and Blame\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eStrange Currencies\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. In 1995 the band promoted that album with their first concert tour since 1989 (although several band members suffered health problems).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CONCORD","offers":[{"title":"25TH ANNIVERSARY DOUBLE LP EDITION","offer_id":53204783366471,"sku":"TRI-41888","price":44.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"25TH ANNIVERSARY","offer_id":53204784251207,"sku":"TRI-41889","price":27.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":53204789985607,"sku":"TRI-41890","price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/9779\/5655\/files\/8bc0f369f489e9633682ef1f092b6c03.jpg?v=1769358591","url":"https:\/\/towerrecords.ie\/products\/rem-monster","provider":"Tower Records Dublin Ireland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
