      It isn't underrated for me because I also happen to be a Sonic Youth fan and I highly doubt there are many REM fans that love that band as well. I don't know how people don't notice Peter Buck channeling Thurston Moore here. He's obviously never utilized this avant garde noise rock style again because most so called REM "fans" wanted him to go back to the jangly 60's Byrds style guitar sound.
      Well screw those posers because I LOVE Peter's guitar tone and dissonant chord progression style just as much as I love that jangly arpeggio reverb style guitar style.
      Come to think of it, I wonder now if Thurston's participation on the song Crush With Eyeliner inspired him to take SY's sound in a less hardcore direction and more towards that soft, beautiful, post rock sound that sound begin a year after Monster with the album Washing Machine. Hmmmm....

      Because it was on Monster and not Automatic for the People which was mind-blowing for casual listeners not familiar w/ REM’s previous work save for Losing My Religion. 🙄

      @theoinkbox you're right.* I* was that casual listener, and I didn't even like losing my religion or any of REMs other stuff. I'm not sure what made me purchase Monster, but all I knew is that I DEVOURED this album....I lived, slept , ate it....studied to all my exams (it didn't help that I had undiagnosed ADHD, so I got VERY hyperfocused into this album) - the whole thing will always be a favorite.

      How is it underrated though? It was both musical and financial success right up there with Out of Time and Automatic... Were you there when it was released? I was and it played everywhere. A great album, classic, and definitely not underrated.

    Here comes that awful feeling again
    Welcome the ugly animal
    I hold my breath to watch you swing
    My high rope acrobat ball and chain
    I'm not afraid, I messed it, messed it, messed it, messed it up
    I've got my telescope head in the haystack
    I'm getting tired of your dodgeball circus act
    Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark on command
    Here comes that awful feeling again
    Make way for monster jealousy
    The strong man kicked sand into my breakfast cereal bowl
    I'd spelled your name with Oatios
    He messed it, messed it, messed it, messed it up
    I've got my telescope head in the haystack
    I am tired of your dodgeball circus act
    Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark on command
    If I were you I'd really run from me
    I'd really, really wish that I were you
    When I get loose, I'll climb a tree
    And drop a load on your head
    This monster in me makes me retch, you messed it, messed it up
    I've got my telescope head in the haystack
    I am jealous of your dodgeball circus act
    Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark
    Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark on command
    Do you smell jealousy?
    Do you smell jealousy, jealousy, jealousy?

    Amazon music experts, in Amazon prime music, created a list that appeared to be a top 100, titled rediscovering REM.
    To get to the point, if Circus Envy doesn’t make the top 100 (for me, it makes my top 10…usually my top 5 and sometimes number 1), you don’t know shit about REM
