Jun 13, 2014It requires an active mind to appreciate, but the album will eventually take you in and take you to a terrifying and wonderful place. This is music as an experience, and in my opinion the best album of this band. Grab a neat scotch, dim the lights, lay down, and turn it up.

Aug 4, 2013Moins extraordinaire que le suivant, un album charnière dans la discographie du groupe japonais: les morceaux fiévreux succèdent des titres plus planants même si l'orage gronde toujours.

[Anonymous]May 16, 2006Not 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.

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.

I can't shake the feeling that I've heard this sort of epic music before, even from Mono themselves.

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.
