1 i monster some thing s coming


Neveroddoreven (sometimes stylised as NeveroddoreveN) is the second studio album by the British electronic music group I Monster. It was originally released in 2003 by Instant Karma sublabel Dharma Records during "a period of transition for the band's label". It was recorded in the home studio of band member Dean Honer. The title is a palindrome. "The Blue Wrath" was used in the 2004 British comedy Shaun of the Dead and appeared on the movie's soundtrack. The I Monster version of "Daydream in Blue" was used as theme music for the 2002 French action movie Steal and appeared in a television commercial for the Ford Focus ST in 2005. The song was also used in the opening episode of the second season of the American TV series Mr. Robot in 2016. In his review of the album for Jockey Slut, Ben Mortimer said that it contained "playful, twisted pop tunes."

    • NeveroddoreveN: Remodeled

    The album was re-released in 2004 by Instant Karma with different album artwork and a revised track list appealing to the label's perception of popular demand. While the word Remodeled does not officially appear on the album, it is often used to help distinguish it from the original. "Hey Mrs." was replaced with a remix that gained popularity through use in advertisements, including commercials for Absolut Vodka and the television series Eureka. A small section of "Stobart's Blues" was removed, "The Backseat of My Car" was also remixed, and "The Blue Wrath" was expanded.
