About the Artist
2009 release from this Alt-Rock band formed by Underoath member Aaron Gillespie along with guitarists Jay Vilardi and Dusty Redmon, bassist Alex Aponte and newest drummer Joe Musten, The Almost's Monster Monster represents the culmination of two years of touring, with the resulting disc a melding of the group's individual talents into a truly collaborative effort. Gillespie, who originally started the band as a side project and played all the instruments on The Almost's first album, is thrilled the way the group began to mesh on Monster Monster, and the band itself is raring to go out and play the new songs for their rabid, loyal fan base

Almost, but not quite.,
By
This review is from: Monster Monster (Audio CD)
When I purchased this, I had only heard a few of The Almost's best tracks from their first album and enjoyed them immensely. I'm definitely a fan of Underoath as well. But, to say it simply, I wasn't very impressed with this album as a whole. After the first three of four tracks, I was wondering if I had completely wasted my money. But then it started getting much better. Two tracks, "Hand Grenade" and "Monster," are excellent.
As a whole, they sound good as a band. Surprisingly, Aaron's vocals weren't as strong as I've heard on previous recordings. The drums rock, and the arrangements of some songs are really creative. For me, though, there are just too many sub-par songs that sound like a not-as-good version of Paramore. I will listen again. Maybe they'll start to grow on me.

Monster Monster, Awesome Awesome,

This review is from: Monster Monster (Audio CD)
The Almost has done it again. This time around Aaron has a backing band behind him (instead of playing ALL of the instruments like on Southern Weather). The result is a more cohesive sound. The best way to describe The Almost is if Adam Lazzara of Taking Back Sunday became the frontman of the Foo Fighters. As someone who loved Southern Weather, I was hoping to not be disappointed by Monster Monster after hearing it was more radio-friendly. But fear not! It still has "raw" moments, but just excellent production (per usual) by Aaron Sprinkle. And at currently $7.99, go buy it!

rockin,
This review is from: Monster Monster (Audio CD)
This album is more positive in sound in contrast to Southern Weather. My favorite song is the last one, Monster-so awesome.
Four starts instead of five because some of the songs in the middle of the CD are good but not great.
