If you were to describe the music of MONO as “heavy,” chances are I’d laugh so hard my coffee would shoot out my nose. That being said, this album leans very heavily on the neo-classical side and makes this album sound “lighter” than others. But this album also leans perhaps more heavily on the melancholy (due to the more prominent neo-classical influences). Overall, this album feels very reflective and warm, like the embrace of a loved one. Kirk Gauthier
This may have surpassed "Hardcore Will Never Die..." as my favorite Mogwai album. The album alternates between lovely, spacious, moody tracks to bombastic, fuzzy, rocking guitars so perfectly. It helps the album flow so well. The 5+ minute songs on here only feel like 2 which makes me wanna replay them over and over. BobandoCommando
A visceral LP centered on the subject of death; deft layers of instrumentation that blurs the line between organic and electronic. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 5, 2018
