In terms of the archetypal R.E.M sound I get exactly where you are coming from although I still really like Monster even though it got panned by virtually everyone and they have been steadily going downhill from there.
However, excluding their hits (of many I did like), they were a solid band with a distinct sound and put out some real class tracks in their time.
