Great Album ...I love their "All out style" lots of power and drive !
I was surprised that there are still bands that have something to say with their lyrics.So many bands have sold out to the industry playing CRAP for a buck that it`s scary! Mute Math is not like the typical rock band, they Rock With a message ...sweet!!!!!

I just finished my first listen of this album. I feel like I just found a gem. My first impression was how much they seem to have been influenced by The Police. The instrumentations seem similar, and the lead's voice isn't that dissimilar from a young Sting's voice, but a little less brassy than his voice was.

This has got to be the weirdest, most interesting thing I've absolutely LOVED in a long time. The drums sound like toys and are performed with a frenetic energy nevermind mixed right up front with the vocals. The guitarist is textural and thoughtful. The singer might be one of the best pure voices I've heard in a long time. The backwards video for "Typical" I saw on The Tube (RIP), hooked me, but the CD is fantastic.

Where do I start on this album? It's really great from start to finish. My favorite track is "Noticed." I really don't have any problems, except maybe "Stall Out" is a little too long. I never skip tracks on this album, and I've listened to it so many times. Lyrics are really inspiring and positive. The melodies are fresh and stay that way spin after spin. I love Paul's voice too...he kind of reminds me of Sting with the Police a wee bit. I highly recommend this purchase, if you like electronic/alternative genres.

First off, I've had this CD for a long time. The only reason I'm reviewing it now is because I've read the 2 and 3 star reviews and those people don't know what they are talking about. So here we go.

This CD is probably one of the greatest out there (besides Amnesiac or In Rainbows by Radiohead). This band has a fresh sound to them that the music industry has greatly needed for long time.

It starts off with Collapse, an instrumental with Darren King (drummer) going crazy on the snare, accompanied by Paul Meany's (singer, keyboards) backround vocals. Then it goes into Typical (the song they're most known for), with Greg Hill (guitarist) starting it off and then Darren King coming in with a very experimental drum beat, and Roy Mitchell (bassist) with some sweet basslines and Paul Meany's Synths flying around everywhere. People say that "after a good number of listens, 'Typical' becomes typical". Well, I've probably listened to this song over 100 times and it still hasn't gotten old. After Typical comes another instrumental, After We Have Left Our Homes. Then comes Chaos. People have called this song embarassingly poppy. This song is not poppy at all. It is actually one of their most complex and dark songs on the CD. But you have to really listen to realize it. Roy shines in this song with Darren on offbeat drums and heavy effects on the guitars. Then there's Noticed, which people have said is just a major filler. I'll tell you this now: MUTEMATH DOES NOT HAVE FILLERS. This song is very upbeat and quick and it makes you feel good. After that comes Plan B, a song mostly based on the drums and keyboards with some sweet guitar riffs and bass harmonics. The only thing I'm going to say about Stare At The Sun and Obsolete is that they are amazing. But you can see that for yourself. Break The Same is next. This song si one of their best songs they've ever done. BIG drums and bass at the intro and very nice guitars and synths after. Then there's You Are Mine. A downtempo song that has a little jazz feel to it. Then comes Control. This song came as a disappointment to me. Don't get me wrong though, because this is also probably my favorite song by them. But I bought Reset EP before this and it had Control on it. And I listened to it alot. But in MUTMATH, they re-did the song. That part was fine, but its the way they mixed it was what I'm unhappy with. It just doesn't sound as good. But unless you own Reset EP it won't make a difference to you. But it is definitely they're most beautiful song. Picture is a very fast and upbeat song with catchy lyrics, and a very synthetic bass that gives it a nice electronica feel. They wrap up the CD with Stall Out, a slow song with ambient piano and a nice groove once the drums come in. But after its over, there's a 5 1/2 minute instrumental where you hear their true talent if you haven't heard it already while listening to the CD.

I there was a 10 star rating I'd give it that. If you are looking for a fresh new sound, buy this CD.
