Dec. 5th, 2012 09:14 pmThis is an Of Monsters and Men appreciation post. Oh my god. Why do you not have five million more songs out already? I keep seeing them compared to Edward Sharpe, Mumford & Sons, and Arcade Fire ... but no, not what I want. All three of those bands have male singers; the first two are of the scratchy-rough variety who have to be something special for me to put up with it, and Arcade Fire is reedy -- which is fine, but again, different.
Dying. Even with artists I like, the progression of songs throughout an album usually goes something like this:
1. Great song
2. That one single that everyone knows
3. Great song
4. Great song
5. Okay song
6. Okay song
7. Filler song
8. Filler song
9. Filler song
10. Okay song
11. Good song
My Head Is An Animal is entirely great songs, with the exception of Numb Bears. Which is good, but not flawless, and so it stands out against everything else. Which is, like I said, flawless. Agh.
