View-Monster is a 2008 album by the band Lemon Demon, led by Neil Cicierega. It was the last full-length studio album before Spirit Phone, 8 years later. Note that this was not a hiatus, given the release of EPs such as Nature Tapes and I Am Become Christmas in-between the two albums.

Track listing

All tracks written by Neil Cicierega.

Without bonuses

Every even-numbered track is a "transition track", also called "palette cleansers" in the unfinished commentary featured on the cd of the Needlejuice re-release[1][2]. Note that these "palette cleansers" were not released on streaming[3], with the exception of the Bandcamp release[4].
