i don't know what's wrong with you all, Monster is a fantastic album, aside from a few boring tracks in the first half. "I Took Your Name", "Let Me In", "You", and "Circus Envy" are great.
also yes, New Adventures In Hi-Fi is insanely underrated. i would even say it's roughly as good as Document and Automatic For the People.
i don't get the hate for Green. "get up" and "stand" are really the only two bad songs on it. "World Leader Pretend", "I Remember California", "The Wrong Child", and the untitled last song are brilliant and haunting, "Orange Crush" and "Turn You Inside-Out" are great rockers, and "Pop Song '89" is serviceable. i guess i could see hating "You Are the Everything" for being too... "typically 80s new-age" or whatever but there's plenty of that on Automatic For the People and Out of Time as well - "Nightswimming" is worse than anything on Green.
Out of Time is pretty forgettable aside from "Country Feedback" which is probably the best song they have ever done. i guess "Me in Honey" is fun enough and "Losing My Religion" was awesome the first 1,000 times i heard it i guess.
Murmur i don't really get the love for, either. a few good songs, the rest is just kind of there. Chronic Town is perfect, yes. Dead Letter Office has some really great, goofy stuff on it, especially the alternate take of "Seven Chinese Brothers" with Michael Stipe reading the liner notes to a gospel album. for years i thought those were actual alternate lyrics.
