This mixtape exceeded my expectations.
It's very comforting and if you are feeling lonely at the end of the day, you could play this to comfort you to sleep! Very healing, very soothing. I appreciate the lyrics a lot.
I think RM has done a very great job with MONO. I believe he has delivered very well what he wanted to with it. People may find it depressing or healing, but it depends on how they look at it. If one is in a happy, optimistic mood and suddenly plays MONO, I wouldn't blame them if they said that it makes them feel depressed. However, if you're having a REALLY bad day or are undergoing a very rough patch in life and try sitting back and actually listening to MONO, I guarantee at least 99.9% that it would feel like someone, not the person we see on camera, the actual person hurting inside, is reaching out to you, telling you you're not alone.
My personal favourite is UhGood. RM released this at the right time in my life, I believe. Just listening to it always made me cry, not because it was depressing, but because I felt unbelievably warm inside. I found it crazy how a man who doesn't know I exist is capable of striking my soul so gently. It's as if he KNOWS that deep inside, many of us are hurting.
He KNOWS that deep inside, many of us are actually fragile and he's saying, "Hey, it's okay to be vulnerable. Everyone is. You can cry now, it's okay. You are not alone." When I read the lyrics, I was amazed. Without even knowing the lyrics yet, we were able to feel the emotions he was trying to get across. He's really an amazing lyricist and artist.
TL;DR : It's healing. Give it a listen.
