TheWho?TheWhat?Mar 16, 2005I'm have it on repeat almost all the time.. great cd! and i also think that One step more and you die is a great cd too.. if you like Mono you should try One step more and you die.. but Walking cloud is better...

dougOct 8, 2004I don't get the pan job done on this record by the critics. It's absolutely gorgeous and to say that bands like Mogwai do it better is ludicrous. They may HAVE done it better, but right now bands like Mono and Explosions in the Sky are far more interesting than Mogwai is now. Hopefully some people will listen a little more closely and with more of an open mind.

Incumbent crescendos and contemplative guitar interludes notwithstanding, Mono has chosen to cloak itself in the inescapable fog of its forefathers and influences rather than transcend the sum of its parts.
-
The quiet/loud, quiet/loud thing has been going on for a long time now, and while Mono has things in common with everyone from Mogwai to the aforementioned groups, they're definitely one of the better bands I've heard doing this in a while.

As long as they continue to compose such memorable material, there is more than enough room for Mono in the post-rock pantheon.
