There's many anthems on the album such as first track Born Young and Free and single Why Do You Hate Me? From these two tracks the album just grows and explodes. Is It Horrible? is the perfect contradiction in that it is a loud song about a time when you just want quiet: the morning after the night of drunken madness. However, it is nowhere near as loud as the awesome Particle. The bass intro is insanely insane and sandwiches it's chorus, which is soft by comparison, beautifully. Cry, an odd ballad number, could easily be skipped because it's the next two songs, Weird and Wonderful and Vibetech, which really makes this album what it is. Between the two you get fun, you get thrash and you get exactly what you want from Marmozets: addictive noise. Song after song continues to boast riffs and lyrics that you just fall in love with and it's when you hear Move, Shake, Hide, you really see how far this band have come.
The Weird and Wonderful is a massive showcase of just how much this band have developed since they started releasing music little over two years. It is packed with every idea the band have had yet this album is not overflowing. It is tight and it is most definitely weird and wonderful; it's one of the best albums you will hear all year. If you do one thing today, listen to The Weird and Wonderful, it's stunning.
