| 3.0 good | Deuce8311 | July 26th 14 | I don't understand why this album gets so much hate? It's NOT THAT BAD. Sure it doesn't bring anything new to the table, but there's only so many "new things" you can bring into a genre. What do you want them to do? Play fucking polka? The album offers some diamonds in the rough, such as "Relentless Chaos" and "Masses of a Dying Breed", which show the last glimpse of somewhat decent vocals Ryan Neff had left before before At Heart. The furious pace of the title track made it a fun listen as well. You'll find nothing new here, but it's the last decent album this band has and probably WILL ever make.

| 2.0 poor | Kenji | August 19th 10 | I share the same opinion, the previous album is one of my favorite albums, but this is boring.
Its generic and there are too much clean vocals, grunts/screams would be better instead of the boring cleans

| 0.0 | Bow2LeperMessiah | August 18th 10 | For a second I thought I was listening to B-Sides from The Powerless Rise...
As you can see...this band is still full of fail...

| 2.0 poor | sspedding | August 14th 10 | Miss May I are as infuriating as ever in sophomore "Monument". The guitarists have seemingly advanced in their rabilities to play but they are still incapable of filling songs with anything but crap breakdowns, annoying clean rsections and cookie cutter melo death riffs.

| 2.0 poor | Pyrodude53 | April 30th 14 | Miss May I had potential, but failed to deliver with this album. All the tracks sound almost exactly like the one before it. Even the vocals have little or no variation. The band continued to regurgitate the same cords, vocals and drum lines ten times over and called it an album.
The only songs with a little variation are Relentless Chaos and In Recognition. Relentless Chaos has a little more clean vocal work and the unclean vocals aren't COMPLETELY dead. Also the breakdowns aren't the same as the other eight, give or take. In Recognition was a song performed only by the clean vocalist. His voice is different from the rest, but the only time he shows it is in this song.
They often use the same breakdowns over and over. Breakdowns, which are supposed to be used sparingly, are way to abundant here. There are around two in a song and, if i said once i said it a million times, they all sound the same. If Miss May I must have a breakdown in every track, lets see if we can only get one.
I suppose I'm being a little harsh since they could have done a lot worse, but this must be said. Maybe in their next album they won't re-use the same song with different lyrics.

| 2.5 average | MoosechriS | February 27th 13 | this can be enjoyable at times, but for the most part they come across as a poor mans As I Lay Dying.

| 0.0 | EddieMarais | February 20th 13 | Brace yourself guys, more br00tal breakdowns and sik vox are on the way. It's seems odd to complain about the lack of originality in a band signed to Rise Records, but these guys are so generic it's painful.

| 3.0 good | Paul Quinones | August 10th 11 | A step up from AAFTW. More tasteful, professional sounding, and powerful.

| 2.0 poor | IAmKickass | June 6th 11 | Miss May I seems to have no idea what it takes to create an album, and to keep the attention of a listener. When all of your songs sound exactly the same, feature cookie cutter breakdowns and follow a format held together by any other band out there, you're doing something wrong. This was all noticed in their debut, but to downgrade more into what made something bad, you've hit a point of no return. Variation, key word here.

| 3.5 great | Devastator | January 21st 11 | Guitars progressing but to many breakdowns excellent vocals and superb drumming but simalar song structure and none exsistent bass drag this down

| 2.5 average | BringMeTheWaffles. | August 15th 10 | Miss May I's sophmore release is full of breakdowns, cookie-cutter riffs, a clean-vocal chorus in every song, and...that's it. Monuments doesn't even touch AAFTW. Epic fail guys.

| 2.0 poor | wachooo | August 15th 10 | I was excited to see if they progressed at all, because they have the potential. They completely spit in my face. This album is way worse then the first.

| 2.0 poor | HangEmHigh | August 14th 10 | Instead of taking the potential they had on Apologies, Miss May I chooses to completely rip AILD with generic song structures, unmemorable choruses, and mindless riffing that's recycled about 5 times over. However, Levi's screams are much more solid and improved on this outing. It's a shame, I had hopes for this band.
