Underoath’s Aaron Gillespie’s side project, The Almost, is back to put out the highly anticipated sophomore album Monster Monster. Anticipation has built for over a year now after The Almost’s debut album Southern Weather, which sold over 240,000 units, went out on Van’s Warped Tour and got rave reviews. From hearing the super catchy single, "Say This Sooner" along with several other hit songs like “Amazing Because It Is” and “Dirty and Left Out”…Monster Monster is sure to come out with nothing short of some epic, refreshing, and stick-in-your-head tunes that will have everyone jammin’ out to. The Almost lets Gillespie put a different, more melodic side of himself on display.

This is much better than Southern Weather (which is pretty good as well). I definently recomend the track monster (opposed to Monster monster). It is a really good acousticish song, and I love the lyrics.

i had been listening to "Monster" off of this album and decided to listen to the rest of the album and I fell in love with "The Lonely Wheel" and "Monster Monster". Although I have to say that "Monster" is still my favorite.

this album is FANTASTIC!!! it's definitely different from "southern weather" but it's in a good way...the band and aaron have both greatly matured. "hands" could almost be sung as a worship song, and the vocals on all the songs are amazing! the only song on which aaron's vocals get kinda whiny is on "monster," but the lyrics to that song are awesome! my personal fave is "young again," where aaron's vocals just blow you away...i love his scream too! :D so...go buy this album...you will NOT be sorry!!! :) the almost is a fantastic band, ministering to both the Christian market and the mainstream market, and aaron is an extremely talented musician!! they ROCK!

What a monster album. And by that I mean what an amazing album. From start to finish it's one unique track after another. Going like no other rock star has gone before: country (as shown in "Hand Grenade". From the rockin' ("Books & Books", "Want To" "Young Again") to the poppy ones ("Hands", "Souls On Ten"). This is one of the best of 2009.

I only purchased a few songs off their first album, but after listening to the preveiw of this one, I think I'll put it on my Christmas list! It sounds like there are some pretty catchy tunes on this disk, and I can't wait to hear the whole thing!
