If you ever read Alan Moore’s “From Hell”, you should be familiar with his fourth dimension theory, stating that history is like architecture, with all the columns and styles repeating. If that is true, then I believe that 2010’s version of “In the Aeroplane over the Sea” has got be Titus Andonicus’s newest album entitled, “The Monitor”. I honestly can’t remember any other albums that perfectly combine historical direst and honest to god angst as much as these two do. Titus Andronicus does a damn near flawless job painting a backdrop of the American Civil War, from the monologues, read by their high school drama teacher, to the piano accompany almost every song, to the inspirational battle cries sprinkled throughout. So, if you want to listen to something new, you should down a shot of whiskey and check out the pissing and moaning of Titus Andronicus.
