Everything Everything – “The Mad Stone” [Song Review]
Ahead of the release of Everything Everything’s seventh studio album, ‘Mountainhead’ (BMG), in March 2024, the band has released a single titled “The Mad Stone.”
Ahead of the release of Everything Everything’s seventh studio album, Mountainhead, in March 2024, the band has released a single titled “The Mad Stone.” The song has a very upbeat and uplifting tone, which is in line with the music video’s depiction of people climbing a mountain. The song has a strong techno feel to it, with a steady beat while, lyrically, “The Mad Stone” centers around the complex issues associated with simply being human—discussing pleasure centers, control, and belief, religious or otherwise.
The band tells us that “‘The Mad Stone’ represents the thesis at Mountainhead’s core: a pseudo-concept album that takes aim at late-stage capitalism (amongst other earth-eating constructs) and questions our culture of growing with no limit and no forethought.” We anxiously await the release of this album, given the strong start “The Mad Stone” represents!
