Since its original release in 2002, "One Step" has become the monolithic cornerstone of Mono's discography. Every subsequent release has been inevitably (and perhaps unfairly) compared to this album, as if it were the band's high watermark, never to be dethroned. To celebrate that release, it's being reissued and repackaged with additional artwork. Four years later it confidently sounds just as brutal and beautiful as the day it was laid to tape. "...On 'One Step More', Mono not only slay, but also punish, mutilate, and bury the listener in their escalating guitar dirges" - Alternative Press.
このジャケットもなんだか好き。ジャケットみたいに暗く悲しい感じ。そういえば、アルバムタイトルはONE STEP MORE AND YOU DIE(一歩踏み出せば死ぬ?)で、かなり暗い。 5なんかは、最初は暗い感じで淡々と続いて、徐々に盛り上がって来る感じで泣ける。9分くらいの大作。GYBE!に似てる。
