May 7, 2013Deerhunter's drastic move out of their dream pop era and into garage punk may not please all fans, but is sure an interesting new direction to choose, and with "Monomania", Deerhunter delivers something that's not only out of their comfort zone, but a charismatic and unyielding LP.

May 7, 2013Deerhunter follows up Halcyon Digest with Monomania, which favors raw distortion blended with melodic rock n' roll. Its a very calculated change of pace over the ambient shoegaze feel of the last two fantastic records.

Jul 8, 2019There's not one miss on this record, amazing guitar textures and distorted vocals accompany incredible songwriting. Some of the songs could be considered in the vein of basic pop (dream captain) but the simplicity and rawness are what makes some of these songs so encapsulating.

Jul 9, 2013This kind of hunger, this kind of uphill battle and this kind of gritty determination leaks out onto Monomania with tremendous results; the ending fruition is another gleaming winner for Cox and Deerhunter.

MagnetJun 18, 2013Monomania is stacked with track-to-track unshakable, albeit twisted, pop melodies and an atmosphere of unrest that will stick with you between repeated listens. [No.99, p.52]

Jun 4, 2013Monomania retains those same Deerhunter kernels if you’re willing to forage. You might get your fingers grubby, but the fruit, often deep inside the shell, is still delicious.
