Monsters Are Waiting may be one of the biggest bands to come out of Los Angeles this year. They have been touring heavily on the west coast. They have become regulars at Spaceland, the Troubadour, and Popscene in San Francisco. I recently saw them at Popscene and they totally wowed the audience. This record is an expanded version of a self-released EP from last year. There are three extra songs. This is a great album from a band that I expect to be really big very soon. Monsters Are Waiting are a combination of glamour, new wave, and intelligent pop music. They only have to do more tours of the East Coast and the UK, and let more people find out about them. If this band went to the UK, things would explode. Monsters Are Waiting are a band to get into.

First of all, I have to say this is the best indy rock band to come out in the past two years years. And trust me when I say you will be impressed with this CD.

The lead singers voice is somewhat angelic and calmingly beautiful (other than Don't Go... unforunatly she sounds like she's having a minor orgasm).

Nobody (#3) is great example, this song is both written beautifuly, and sung just as good. With such a good song is there any more just as good? And the answer is yes.

Last Goodbye, Ha Ha, A perfect Stranger, Firefly, Christine, Monsters, and Time are excellent.

But wait... Thats 8 great songs, and there are only 10 in the album.

Well, other than two songs this CD is a must have for anyone who enjoys Bright Eyes, Death Cab for Cutie, and Annlynn.

I like moody and ethereal music so liked this. A couple of songs especially were top shelf and in general the whole album is listenable over and over.

Went to Bottom of the Hill to see the headliner, however was lucky to hear "Monsters are Waiting" playing second. Turned out to be the best band of the night, and even bought album online that night (they were out at the show - no wonder since they are awesome). One of my favorite albums and well worth the purchase. The first 4 songs are all hits. Whoever gave this a 1-star doesn't know music. Buy it, rip it, add to your IPod... NOW!!!

I heard the song "monsters" on a TV show and had to get the CD. Great stuff!

Searching through the CDs, I found this one that caught my eye. I took it over to the listening station and gave it a listen, and I was quite impressed with this CD from what I heard!

The vocals on the CD are very good to say the least, in a few of the songs, you can hear where she really shines, like in "Time". Some of the songs are slow, others are upbeat and garage bandy sounding, like "Fascination" or "Ha Ha".

All in all, this is an averagish CD. Nothing quite different, the scheme is pretty much the same it seems. But if you like bands like "Metric" or "The Fitness", you'll probably like "Monsters are Waiting" as well.

Boy is this band lame or what? The songs are slow, not catchy and she can't even sing. Jon, go back to Eve 6 and make some real quality music again!! EVE 6 ROCKS!!
