3:00-3:40 sounds like 40 Below Summer! Even has Max's garbled vocals, love it.

[@reveilley2428]

Yessiirrrr! I got a sick FLAW vibe from the guitars in parts of the song too

[@sesh517]

This is a great comparison actually, love to see someone mentioning 40 Below Summer. Max's uncleans always had this rawness to them that I loved

[@marvinrockon]

Holy shit. The sound is so pumping but yet clear. Really nice balance. Cant believe the vocals still have so much space in the mix with whats all going on. Everythings awesome about that song.

[@RogerioTorresJW]

Grooviest band ever! Luv u, guys. Forever!

[@twilitsaenguani485]

0:45 Shades of Denis Stoff with these vocals, but with actual balls to back them up. I love Chris' new lower key vocal style, easier on his voice, and allows the grooves to drive the music, and oh lawd they do. I was a bit nervous about A.W.O.L. (didn't stop me from playing it at least twice a day) but hearing this convinces me that Phronesis might just be their best album to date, only time will tell though. Also 3:23 about time he put this in a song, he does it live often enough. XD

[@skylar4810]

totally thought that was electronically produced lol. who is iirc?

[@GraysunsWar]

Shit I even thought it was Denis LOL

[@lightyagami8377]

Monuments main strength has always been making some pretty great groove riffs. Yea people hate on Djent, but Monuments reminds us that Djent can be musical and not robotic sounding(cough cough Born Of Osiris).

[@zabelzardok]

I use to say that every nine djent act there's a tenth who is actually good. Well, Monuments got the round number.

👍👍👍 Vitalism is robotic but I like it tho.

[@ezassegai4793]

the mix is the best yet

[@migz-kun4326]

“So let it go! We can’t assume control! The only thing to hate is the hate in you!”, is my favourite part in the lyrics \m/ and Barreto’s screams are goddamn fire! Hope they visit Philippines soon!

[@vasilyneganov3883]

Absolutely lovely! I first discovered John's guitar playthrough, where the mix is biased towards guitar sound, obviously, and now I'm super happy to hear the proper album mix! Great work, Monuments, the wait for MIII seems to have been worth it!

[@theairflare]

To all those who say that they are disappointed in the lyrics of Phronesis I have one thing to suggest. It's called self-projection, and you should learn about it. In fact, I have a slight feeling that the song itself is about self-projection. Peace.

[@kevinkeane2524]

We need to change the lyric "Move" to "Groove" in that chorus, goddamn this is great.

[@ex1t3]

I don't really get why people giving so much hate on this new album. Yes, songs became a bit lighter and some new lyrics are not that deep as we hope to hear, but the entire album sounds great! Every song off the album has got the good clean vocals and fuck, I've never heard something similiar to vocalist's voice. Its amazing. I met this band with this new album and I can't say that new one is worse. Guys, we have to be thankful for this band, that haven't become a pop shit like BMTH. New album of MMF disappointed me much more. Nothing to complain, IM GIVING A FAT LIKE FOR EACH SONG. GIMME MORE.

[@mraudiog]

Would love a colab song with Howard jones and sevendusts singer. All 3 of your guys vocals together could shatter souls.

See, I told you all not to worry ;) Monuments always deliver the goods. This is why they are one of the best metal bands out there at the moment. I especially love this song because it's a slightly new sound, but it still has that monuments vibe to it - you KNOW you're listening to monuments when you hear this. Also, that end groove nearly made me dislodge every vertebra in my neck from headbanging too hard.

[@WehlerDealer]

I'm a simple man. I see a new Monuments song; I click Like.

[@zabelzardok]

Lots of 90s/early 00s nu/alt vibes in this song and I like it. Music goes around, you know!

[@mercuryfaith]

The two previous albums (especially Amanuensis) are really "inspired" albums. The construction of lyrics and melodic vocal parts in The Amanuensis are very accurate and well contextualized. In these last two singles I found the "classic" Monuments, but only in the instrumental part...lyrics and clean vocals are below my expectations and hear this from one of the best modern metal bands out there really hurts. I think this new record is simply not for me...I hope I can contradict myself in the future...in any case...SICK INSTRUMENTAL!

[@Magmoormaster]

I agree with the OP. The instrumentation is fantastic, but the lyrics don't really work. It's like Michael Jackson meets 80s glam metal. It's a shame considering how good Chris has been in the past, with amanuensis and his short stint with haunted shores. I love sp0nce though. So I must disagree with this other reply.

[@silent8ch977]

mercuryfaith... Amanuensis stopped me in my tracks about 4 months ago. I only came across this band because I was falling down a Periphery rabbit hole and Spotify decided it was time to make some alternative suggestions. :) I’ve been really looking forward to this album and when they dropped the first song I was like... oh no. BUT I did listen to AWOL without watching the lyrics video several times and it grew on me. I am WAY more optimistic hearing this track and I suggest not watching the lyrics as well. I have to keep reminding myself it took me 10,000 try’s to actually GET the genius of 10,000 days and now its my favorite album ever.

[@brutalvocalcovers]

same

[@nightlessexplosive3641]

mercuryfaith nonono, i primi 2 dischi erano dei fottuti capolavori, dal chitarrista che ha letteralmente rivoluzionato un modo di fare prog con i fellsilent mi aspetto di più, gli ultimi due singoli sono carini ma hanno dei testi terribili..

[@pauldg6631]

I assume the reason is because Amanuensis is heavily a concept album hence the lyrics are so deep and poetic. Maybe Phronesis wont be another one

[@wilhelmlinneby8325]

I love it!!!

[@ederolima]

First time listening: "Meh..." I lost track of how many times I've listened to this song, the chorus is one of the best I have ever heard in a long time

Can we just put those „i like it/i dont like it” comments aside for a second and just appreciate the sick riffage and overall composition and mix ? Hats down to all the people participating in composing/recording this material. Whether all of you like it or not, it is very nice that there are people down there who produce music with that level of paying attention to details. It took a shitload of hours and litres of sweat to get this piece of music from somebody’s brain to this particular place on youtube. I appreciate it, keep up doing the good job people.
