BackgroundThe Almost released their debut album, Southern Weather in 2007. On November 9, 2008, it was announced that the band had parted ways with drummer Kenny Bozich. Later that month, the band released a holiday-themed EP, No Gift to Bring.[8] RecordingOn April 29, 2009, the band arrived at Dark Horse Recording studio in Franklin, Tennessee. The recording process was documented with tweets, a live Stickam stream, and blogs.[9] Like the band's debut Southern Weather, Monster Monster was produced by Aaron Sprinkle. Due to the band's lack of a drummer at the time, lead singer Aaron Gillespie played drums for the record.After the recording and mastering of the record, Gillespie stated, "This now feels like a real band. Everyone gave up a piece of his own agenda for the good of the final result. And that's how you end up with something special. They supplied the bricks and we built this house together."[10] On May 7, a studio update was posted online,[11] followed by another on May 26.[12] ReleaseThe first single from the album is "Hands" and it was released onto radio stations October 2, 2009,[13] and it has cracked the Top 5 on the Christian Rock charts. When speaking of touring, Gillespie noted that "[The Almost] plan on hitting it as hard as we can." Vilardi concurred with "We'd like to leave and not come back for two years."[10] In October and November, the group supported the Used on their headlining US tour.[14] In February and March 2010, the band performed at Soundwave festival in Australia.[15] The third track on the album, "No I Don't," debuted on the Christian Rock chart on March 5.[16] Track listing{{Track listing| all_writing = Aaron Gillespie, Dusty Redmon, Alex Aponti and Jay Vilardi | title1 = Monster Monster | length1 = 3:20 | title2 = Lonely Wheel | length2 = 3:14 | title3 = No I Don't | length3 = 3:54 | title4 = Hands | length4 = 3:48 | title5 = Young Again | length5 = 2:58 | title6 = Summer Summer | length6 = 4:00 | title7 = Hand Grenade | length7 = 3:51 | title8 = Books & Books | length8 = 3:31 | title9 = Souls On Ten | length9 = 3:25 | title10 = Want To | length10 = 3:30 | title11 = Get Through | length11 = 3:24 | title12 = Monster | length12 = 6:16 }}{{tracklist | headline = Best Buy limited edition bonus tracks | collapsed = yes | title13 = West | length13 = 3:40 | title14 = Wrong | length14 = 3:03 }}{{tracklist | collapsed = yes | headline = iTunes bonus tracks | title13 = Me & Alone | length13 = 3:03 }}{{tracklist | headline = Re-issue deluxe edition bonus tracks[17] | collapsed = yes | title13 = Birmingham | length13 = 2:21 | title14 = July | length14 = 3:28 | title15 = Wrong | length15 = 3:03 | title16 = Out West | length16 = 3:40 | title17 = Me & Alone | length17 = 3:04 | title18 = Hands | note18 = music video | length18 = 3:33 | title19 = Lonely Wheel | note19 = music video | length19 = 3:13 | title20 = No I Don't | note20 = music video | length20 = 4:10 | title21 = Monster Monster | note21 = music video | length21 = 3:34 }} PersonnelThe Almost[18]
