Reviews Customer Reviews for Monument To The Masses      Jello Biafra wants his voice back      Rating:       This bands' debut was one of my favorite records of that year, and after an initial wave of disappointment, this album has been growing on me. The tempo has slowed considerably, and the pace lends itself well to catchy hooks that stick in your head like peanut butter on the roof of a dog's mouth. Wait, the last time I mentioned peanut butter and my dogs' mouth I was talking about that day when I was real lonely and...nevermind. The only gripe I have is w/ Alex's lyrics. You've heard of the hip-hop rhyming dictionary? Somebody must have published the indie/dance rock version, because some of the couplets here are truly cringe-worthy. "Hmmm...what rhymes with insane? Pain? Brilliant!!!" A little more effort w/ the lyrics, and this would be a near perfect sophmore release.     Customer Reviews for Monument To The Masses Cd      Great, but play it more than once to notice.      Rating:      I came on the bandwagon for this band a little late, and it took no time for me to learn I'd buy this album the day it came out. I was at first a bit disappointed, it was much more pop-like when compared to their earlier work. Still, if you give it more than one chance it grows on you, and songs such a Disconnected, Creeps Me Out, and Stick It To The Man are instant classics. The reason I only give it four stars is because I picked up the Search and Destroy EP at a show before hand and I find that album to be much better (I also think that album is close to perfect and any IMA Robot fan needs that in their collection). Still, listen to the samples on this page and if you have any slight interest buy the album. It only gets better.
