    Not exactly fresh, they seem to be using the same exact formula throughout the album. While the production's nice and it all sounds pretty on first listen, it doesn't stand up on later spins and ultimately lacks substance. They've done better.

  1. While the group are certainly impressive in performance, they can't break free from an almost mechanical feel that lingers and really holds the album back.
  2. I can't shake the feeling that I've heard this sort of epic music before, even from Mono themselves.
  3. They are rock songwriters whose lyrics are guitar lines sung, shrieked, and wailed to the accompaniment of a masterful rhythm section. Mono are a rock band -- and a damn fine one -- and they only get better with time.
