"When I was 10, I was in my own world. Getting a digital radio in my room was a really big thing for me. This tiny little speaker. It was really liberating, like there was something happening in my room at all times. I was obsessed with radio and knew everything that was going on. I’d listen to the Top 40 countdown every week, and there was this band Queen that kept coming up. I loved “Another One Bites the Dust.” A friend of mine told me that song was about war and killing people, and, again there was something about the evil and the fear of it that appealed to me. I remember the DJ saying, “This is No. 1 on the black charts.” So I thought Queen was black. Years later, I saw their record cover—and realized they weren’t black"

CHILLFILTR (46 KP) rated Fever Dream by Of Monsters And Men in Music

Sep 2, 2019

The story surrounding Of Monsters and Men reaches from the band’s native Iceland to a radio station in Philadelphia (“Radio 104.5”) that began playing their song Little Talks, and subsequently to a showcase in Austin at South by Southwest and a swift signing to Republic Records. Their 3rd release FEVER DREAM is out later this month, but you can preview one of the songs right now.

On their new single Alligator, the groove marries a deep quarter-note rock tumble with a choppy backbeat, which sets the sonic stage perfectly for a signature sultry-shout vocal delivery from Nanna Hilmarsdóttir. The energy is high, the night is young, and we offer ourselves to the rapture. Of Monsters and Men has bottled up the energy it takes to be truly free, and now it can be yours.

This album has so many different sounds and rhythms. I couldn’t stop listening to it. (0 more)

Some of the songs will get overplayed in the radio but that is standard for pop. (0 more)

I was happily surprised that the entire album was so original and great to listen too. I was surprised that almost everyone at work listened to it without any complaint (that rarely happens)!

Will get stuck

This song will get stuck in your head. It is reminiscent of the Bone Thugz and Harmony "Crossroads" song. The radio plays it so much that one finds one's self humming it throughout the day.

It is a really catchy song and Khalid can definitely sing but it in my opinion is just a fad that will soon blow away.
