This week, we've got Monuments, a lovely bunch of British chaps who play groovy djent with shouty, abrasive vocals and a couple clean parts that sound a little like Kim Benzie. On the progressive metal spectrum, their needle definitely tilts toward metal and away from prog. Think Meshuggah but more fun. Think last season's Periphery with punk influences. Think about not writing a boring comment about how you still don't like djent.

Let me think........ Okay I thought, listened, and I still don't like djent. But I'll give it to them for sounding funner than Meshuggah. You all can soak this whole genre/style up, I'll stay out of your way, except in comment sections about the style of music, begging for my comments. Sorry Zach.

Hey, that was actually pretty fun, Zach. Nothing new, but they do it well enough for at least that one youtube track. Still waiting to like something djent better than the Uneven Structure album from last year. Hasn't happened yet. And nothing wrong with djent, anyway. If a band's good, they're good.

And if they're not good, they're good to somebody.

I REALLY dig this album. This is perfect for those that didn't like how Periphery has gone a bit away from djent.
