I cannot stop listening to this album by Mute Math! I am SO thankful, however, that I didn’t ever win on my more-than-twenty-dollar bids on eBay for this album before it was available on their website (www.mutemath.com)! The day I finally gave up bidding on the last-available CD on eBay was the day they released the album on their website for sale! They had previously ONLY been selling the album at their sold-out shows in towns too far away from ‘ol Warsaw! So, some smarty-pants Mute Math fans bought a “few extra” and put ’em up on eBay and sold them for over $30/each! Way to go Mute Math fan!
Anyways – the album is incredible.
First – the sound. Mute Math is so distinctive in their own way that I cannot explain what they sound like – though you can hear a few of their tracks on their website. Their website, by the way, sadly redirects to their MySpace account which is pretty lame for a band like this!
Second – their lyrics. Incredible lyrics surround this album (again)! Their EP release also had VERY Christ-focused lyrics and that has always pleased me about ANY band that professes their Faith in Christ.
Third – the album artwork. This is BY FAR one of the best CD cases I have ever had my hands on. With this new-age of buying music on iTunes, I would have missed out on this artistic representation of an artistic band if I would have been able to buy the album on iTunes – thankfully I couldn’t and I got my hands on some great visual art as well as musical art with this album!
I seriously have NOT stopped playing this album on my computers and in the car since it came in the mail early last week!
If you’re interested – check out the website and get this album ASAP!
