Mona

Absolutely fantastic album, also one of the best bands live!

Getting used to listening to this album.

I saw these live with KOL and The White Lies, they were awesome, worth a download!Hope this is helpful.

Great album

Very Good.

I love finding new music and when I ran across Mona's frontman (Nick Brown) being all brash and cocky over their music, I was curious to hear them. What sticks with me the most after listening to Mona's first self-titled album is that they sound an awful lot like "Kings of Leon" but then I happen to like them so that influenced my grade of "B". Even though this album did not fulfill Brown's tremendous promise, it is a good bunch of pop / alt rock tunes. My top three songs were:1) Listen to Love - still sounds good after a few listens2) Lines In The Sand - here's the ballad song3) Trouble On The Way - catchy faster paced tune with heavy shades of "Kings of Leon" and a favoriteTime will tell if Mona becomes something more then sounds of another band but then don't most new bands get compared to others for reference? I hold out hope for more especially given the personality of Nick Brown.

A brilliant album, but confusingly Amazon have dropped the 'deluxe' suffix from the extended version.So as I write, there are now two seemingly identical albums available at the same price. Upon closer inspection however, you will note that one has 10 tracks whereas the other has 12.If the pricing is adjusted, then spend the money and buy the album with twelve tracks, as 'Alibis' and 'All this time' are well worth the extra spend.In terms of the rest of the album - if you like Kings of Leon, then you will definitely enjoy this band. I saw them live in Camden on the night that they launched the album, and they seriously rocked. If you get the chance to see them at any of the upcoming festivals then make the effort to check them out.There are no duff tracks on this album in my opinion, but the tracks 'All this time', 'Teenager' and 'Trouble on the Way' stand out as their stadium-pleasers. That said, you shouldn't write off the quieter material such as 'Alibis' as it just goes to show that they are not a one-trick pony.

How have Mona not hit it big in the UK yet? From the first time I heard Listen to Your Love on the radio I was hooked. The album arrived and I couldnt wait to haer it. From the off it just blew me away, Cloak and Dagger is an awesome intro to what is an amazing album.There are times it sounds like The Gaslight Anthem, then its Bryan Adams but wait its definatly Bruce Springstien, no its definatly Kings of Leon. With those sorts of influences where can you go wrong. Its just entertaining, simple rock and roll its best. Get it, get it now! You'll thank me!
