Titus Andronicus :: The Monitor



I wrote this album off initially because it was advertised heavily and I didn't know what to make of the band based on the cover. But damn, was I wrong. A civil war concept album from a New Jersey punk rock band whose name comes from a random Shakespeare play and that has influences from Neutral Milk Hotel = mindsplosion. There's so much put into this album. Startlingly personal lyrics, sound collage, long meandering songs for a punk rock format, and mucho more.
