Break Through The Silence - Monty Are I
I feel obliged to mention that I am slightly disappointed in Monty Are I’s latest effort. The general sound and style are still the same, except for the obvious substitution of techno for the trumpet/trombone sounds that were prevalent on “Wall Of People.”
To be completely honest, it was that hint of brass over harder rock (think The Used; I’ve seen Steve Aiello’s vocals compared to Bert McCracken’s and really agree, now that it’s been pointed out) that won me over in the first place. The techno sound is slightly jarring compared to how well the brass was used in “Wall of People.”
I don’t mind the pieces that don’t use either, because there were songs like that on “Wall of People” as well, and overall it’s still a good enough effort that I hope it’ll get their name out a little more.
I would upload a song for you to judge for yourselves, but unfortunately I purchased both albums in the iTunes store. Instead I’ll send you by their MySpace, where they have songs from both albums on their music player.
