Kristoffer-Dec 20, 2005This album is close to simplistic perfection.

JohnBNov 11, 2005I'm no good at assigning things genres, but if you like chilled-out electronic dance you don't dance to, with melodies that take a few listens to come to love (but are enticing from the first listen), please try this. Hopefully if it remains high on the Metacritic score list, more people will. It's certainly a cut above muso coffee-table/clothes-shop/wine-bar muzak.

BradMJan 11, 2006Best electronic album I've heard since M83 - Dead Cities. There's alot of feel in these tracks. I only wish more IDM was moving in this direction.

ElliottJan 5, 2006This is a wonderful album, but I still prefer Rest, his debut. I hope it sees a re-release soon, much like Luomo's similarly BRILLIANT Vocalcity did this past year.

BobbyKMar 27, 2006While certainly not as immediate as Underworld, the album only requires a few listens before you're caught.

FastEddieNov 18, 2005...agree with juice, its a seriously good album, best electronic album Ive heard in a couple of years, and possibly, the greatest album of all time!

PerspicaciousCriticNov 26, 2005If avant-garde theatrical troupe Blue Man Group were ever to make a "proper" album, it would probably sound a lot like the electronically gorgeous Wearemonster.

AnthonyWDec 28, 2005The best dance album since Leftfield's Leftism. Superb.

SinbadSDec 28, 2005I have not felt such an elctro-rush since Underworld's 'Second Toughest in the Infants' graced my ears. A sheer delight.

We Are Monster is one of those fun albums that sounds great whether you're in the mood to move or just sitting down and listening on headphones as you ride to work on the bus.
-
If it's not a truly inspiring album, it's nevertheless undeniably impressive.
-
Five years on, We Are Monster finds Raijko Muller so confident and articulate that Rest comes off in comparison like a set of hastily scrawled clutch notes.
