Monster [Warner Bros., 1994]
Sick of dummies claiming they can't rock, the old Zepheads deliver the first power-riff album of their highly lyrical career. Peter Buck's sonic palette is rainbow grunge--variegated dirt and distortion as casual rhetoric--and he's so cranked even the slow ones seem born to be loud. As for Mr. Stipe, he's in the band, where he belongs. Message: guitars. Which after years of politics and sensitivity is well-timed. A−

After the Democrats were back in power they didn't have anything to complain about anymore so they went fuck it and just made a fun, dumb album.

a lot of those 80s alt/college bands made their trade protesting the Reagan/Bush years and then lost it after 92
