MONA

Finally gave MONA's album a listen. I cannot tell you enough how brilliant it is. Every track is an explosion of sounds.

The melodies, the bangin' drums, the sweet guitar riffs, along with Nick Brown's amazing vocals makes for the perfect record. There are some slow, sad songs, of which some builds up and explodes into a folly of emotions. And some of them are upbeat and rockin', but not of the happy, dance-able type. It's more of impatient excitement rather than positivity. I guess that's what I love most about the record, there's a lot of complicated and mixed up emotions in the tunes. All the tracks have a very old-romantic type of sound, wanting to move on but desperate to hold on to the past.

It really is a total rockin' record.
