Album of the year so far for me. Hook it to my veins, been on a loop.
The singles alone were a bit "meh" but the whole thing comes together as a hell of a record. I was starting to worry they'd go a bit of the way of Slaves (who I struggled with anyway) and get a bit silly/lame, but Ultra Mono has levelled up massively.
Lyrically it's clever, sarcastic (which I love, if anyone's guessed by my love of Single Mothers) and it's brilliant to hear borderline Anarcho themes more in the mainstream music space. There's no compromise.
Highlight song for me is Reigns. Chorus has been in my head for days, utter earworm and oddly sounds like a singalong Slipknot would write.
Sorry, I'm rambling as I can't really get into words how f*cking good this record is. I'm pleasantly surprised to be this blown away by a band at this level of hype, usually they've become "meh" or watered down by now from past experience.
I'll shut up, keyboard diarrhoea at this point, just listen to it! |  |
