      You're really not. It is INCREDIBLY underrated, and I suspect it's because it was the follow-up album to "Automatic For The People", which had a much different tone. "Automatic" was their masterpiece, IMHO...but"Monster" was much more primal, and I loved the energy on it. Just as good of a beast, just a different stripe.
      Frankly, I wish they'd just let their hair down and ROCK OUT on a few more albums.

It was released in September 1994. So it predates Placebo which they formed in 1994. So I guess we could say R.E.M had influenced Placebo.

    I know you've seen her
    She's a sad tomato
    She's three miles of bad road
    Walking down the street
    Will I never meet her?
    She's a real woman-child
    Oh, my kiss breath turpentine
    I am smitten
    I'm the real thing (I'm the real thing)
    Have you seen her come around?
    My crush with eyeliner
    I'm in like
    I'm infatuated
    It's all too much, the pressure
    She's all that I can take
    What position should I wear?
    Cop an attitude? (you fake her)
    How can I convince her? (fake her)
    That I'm invented too, yeah
    I am smitten
    I'm the real thing (I'm the real thing)
    We all invent ourselves
    And, uh, you know me
    She's a sad tomato
    She's three miles of bad road
    She's her own invention (she's her own invention)
    That gets me in the throat
    What can I make myself be?
    Life is strange, yeah (life is strange)
    What can I make myself be? (fake her)
    To make her mine?
    I am smitten
    I'll do anything (I'll do anything)
    A kiss breath turpentine
    My crush with eyeliner
    I am smitten
    You know me (yeah, you know me)
    I could be your Frankenstein
    My crush with eyeliner
    I am smitten
    I'm the real thing (I'm the real thing)
    Won't you be my valentine?
    My crush with eyeliner

      The title "crush with eyeliner" is used to describe how peple "love" to invent an image of themselves, that they think is going be accepted by the others, instead of showing who they really are. "Eyeliner" stands for anything that people do to cover their true personality.

      Good album for a band who'd been around some fourteen years. Every song is good through the moving Let Me In. Tongue is mystifying. Heck, I don't even mind Michael talking about giving head. Smoke 'em if you got 'em. It falls apart after Let Me In however with Circus Envy and You as I prefer the Kinks doing You Really Got Me.

    "I am smitten" with this song and have been since it came out. It consistently makes me euphoric.

    Great song,
    Recently I had a dream about someone someone doing a head spin like at 2:00 it was quite vivid, the imagery felt so familiar but I didn’t know where it came from. Took a while but I was able to wrestle the memory of this video out of depths of my brain. When I was watching it today it shook loose a vivid memory of my mother and I. I used to leave MTV on in my room while I was doing homework or exercising and this video came on and she happened to be there and just loved it. For a while I used to sing that “three miles down that road” to her while she was cooking and it got a smile out of her. My mother passed away about 10 years ago so it was nice reliving this happy memory thanks to REM.
    All these experiences are like tears in the rain

    A great guitar, melody and catchy. The 90's are years of my youth - I have a fondness for music from these years, the sound of instruments. Nice music. You can listen to it over and over do not get bored. The expressiveness of the guitar is very addictive. Nice video. In a word, great.

    Years ago I was at an REM concert with my sister and her college friends here in Dublin in western Europe and up to then Crush With Eyeliner was just another good song but when we heard it live we said wow that comes across really well live. From then on it was a stand out song.

    MONSTER is and was GREAT. Amazing how it holds up and is so much better now. They added the fuzz and turned it up to 11. It’s not grunge at all - nothing sounds like it.

    'Monster' became my soundtrack to lockdown a year ago. I was working virtually by myself in the office and listened to this album a lot to distract myself from what was going on. This was one of my favourite tracks on the album.

    I don’t know the origin or inspiration behind it, but IMHO, the end product of this video is BRILLIANT!!! I didn’t even like it at first and I was about to delete it from my playlist, but then I finally just relaxed and watched it from beginning to end and those kids blew me away. I don’t know if they got a lot of instruction from the band or the director or if they were allowed to just be themselves, but their performances are brilliant and VERY entertaining!!! Especially the lead singer and the girl on lead guitar. If a person didn’t know this was R.E.M., I could see a lot of people just thinking this was a weird video, put together by a band of kids. Whoever thought this up, should be commended. I think it’s one of my favorite R.E.M. videos, now.
