Review

Let's take a joyride back to July 10, 2020, when The Midnight dropped their neon-soaked masterpiece, "Monsters." This fourth studio album is a cosmic mix of synthwave and nostalgia, beaming you straight back to the flickering allure of the '80s. It's like the group's sonic time machine, capturing the essence of teenage highs and lows through 15 unforgettable tracks. From the wistful longing in "Seventeen" to the digital dreams of "America Online," each song speaks to the bittersweet beauty of youth.

"Monsters" isn't just an auditory feast; it's a thematic sequel to their previous gem, "Kids." This time around, The Midnight dives deeper into the murky waters of adolescence, shining a light on the shadows of rejection and identity struggles. Instrumentals like "City Dreams (interlude)" add extra layers of atmospheric depth, making you feel like you're cruising through a digital cityscape. Critics and fans alike have showered praise on "Monsters" for its ambitious scope and emotional resonance—and it even made AllMusic's best-of-2020 list! If you've got a soft spot for synthwave, or you're just yearning for an album that perfectly encapsulates the complexity of teenage life, "Monsters" is your retro-futuristic ticket to ride. - Astrid
