Monster (Pt. 2)

The Big Mates discuss Little Britain, Kurt Cobain, You, and
Monster by R.E.M.

Adam, Steve, and Lucas continue their deep dive into the career
and discography of R.E.M. by continuing and concluding their
analysis of the band's ninth studio album, released in 1994. They
talk about the writing and recording process, the context
surrounding the songs, and offer up analysis, opinions, and
thoughts from three differing perspectives on music, from being
deeply into analysis and music, to not caring for art or
critique, and everything in between.

They pick up their discussion part way through the album, and
they continue their track-by-track analysis, breaking down the
inspirations, technicalities, and contexts of each song. They
grapple with the mood of the album, sum up their thoughts, and
then look at the legacy of the album and how people view it
today.

How will we feel about Monster? How would you play a
cassette tape? What was going on with Lucas's tum? Find out on
this episode of What Is Music?

Our next episode is out on Monday August 19th and will see us
provide commentary for Road Movie whilst exploring the 1995
Monster tour.
