The track starts off quiet with just vocals and then builds into a heavy instrumental riff that has
strong Bring Me The Horizon vibes. “Monster” then goes into a verse where the vocals take over and the
instrumentals are softer. These softer instrumentals make Reid’s vocals and lyrics stand out. Reid’s vocals are haunting and they go well
with the hard hitting drum beats and the guitars.
When the song starts to build up again and the chorus kicks in, the melody first sounds similar to the one in Simple
Plans song “Welcome To My Life.” You will soon find yourself singing along because of the catchy
lyrics “I feel fake, I feel numb, I hate the monster I’ve become” mixed with heavy instrumentals.
Fans of Three Days Grace, Tool, Korn, and Bring Me the Horizon, will take a liking to this track as it is
a great mixture of hard rock with some nu metal. Reid has not only been influenced by some artists
in this genre, but he has been able to add his own style to it and that is what makes “Monster” stand out more than the rest.
