Replay Cement by Monsieur Herr
Plug your ears and say "la-la-la, I can't hear you," because REPLAY CEMENT, Monsieur Herr's fifth* full-length music album, is HERE, and boy is it HERE.
"What is REPLAY CEMENT?" This is among many of the questions YOU probably have, and arguably chief among them.
REPLAY CEMENT is a soft, warm bed made of lizard scales, and both sides of the sponge.
REPLAY CEMENT is subtle, if your definition of subtle is a nuclear explosion.
REPLAY CEMENT is, at its core, a collection of 11 original songs from a universe where somebody would think to name an album "Replay Cement," i.e. this one.
But more than anything else, REPLAY CEMENT is an egregiously horrible pun, and therefore a really great pun.
Music for people who hate music. A waltz for non-dancers. A hot night out with the Venus de Milo. Pure pop for now people. REPLAY CEMENT is all of these things and More™. Dig it or, I dunno, go listen to Megadeth or something.
*(Third if you don't count "Strange Sounds" or "Extrasensory Jazz", neither of which count.)
REVERB CEMETERY description:
Hi everyone. My pal Monsieur Herr (the Entity that commandeers my pitiful, ephemeral mortal flesh) and I have devised a new and subtly different track sequence for our 2023 album Replay Cement.
It's what it is. Got-to got-to got-to get down.
To ensure that this new version of the album is well worth your time (you being "The Listener") beyond merely altering the sequence, all tracks have been slightly remixed slash remastered to a NEW STANDARD. The old mixes are still there, of course, and always will be—in your heart, in your soul, and in your digital downloads. Maybe even your compact disc, if you have it. If you don't have it, feel free to make your own compact disc so you can play it in your car, van, Hello Kitty CD player, etc.
We approximate that the inclusion of "Oh Wait" earlier in the track list and the substitution of "I'm Gonna Obliterate You" for its Sad Version (see the Glossy Taxidermy EP) alone sharply increase the quality of the listening experience by more than slightly.

Monsieur Herr is a one-man musical conglomerate and art project out of Southern California, consisting of one Riley Maiden. Likely best described an art-pop "fake band" (self-diagnosed) with an anxious edge, snarky wit, and avant-garde sensibility, M. Herr has been writing, recording, and producing music since 2018, and plans on continuing to do what he was going to do anyway.
