This EP “Saying Something You Have Said Before’s “ purpose seems to be that of giving fans a fresh reminder as to what makes Moneen stand out in this often-cynical scene.

The first track, “Prepare Yourself... The Worst Is Yet To Come”, is the only non-acoustic track on the EP it has a great melodic guitars and intense vocals.

The remaining four songs are acoustic versions of tracks originally from their album “The Red Tree” which gives people who are not already fans another way to enjoy Moneen’s writing capabilities in a softer more easy listening way.

Another good point about this EP is that rather than saying right lets just swap our electric guitars for acoustics they have recreated the songs subtly to sound as if that was the way they had always been played and therefore into new works of art.

Although this is not a typical band acoustic release as Moneen make sure to do it in their own way by keeping and making great use of drums throughout particularly on “The East Has Stolen What The West May Want”. Again not losing anything from its original version giving another example to how well Moneen writes and performs.

After listening to this I wouldn’t be surprised if sales of the earlier release of “The Red Tree” go up and vice versa.
