Mute Math has been one of those bands that came out of no where and is starting to get recognition across the world! i saw these guys perform before there first album even came out at Youth Quake. Me and Chester took our seats in the Hildebrand Chapel at Briercrest as Mute Math took the stage and blew us away. they put on one of the greatest shows i have ever seen! I got the opportunity to see them live again in a small club in Saskatoon, and due to the size of the stage it wasn't as cool but still pretty amazing!
Their first self titled album was one of my favorites of 2006. Possibly because it took me and most of North America by storm! who knew that Paul Meany previously doing keyboards and background vocals for "Earthsuit" could create such a monster of a band! There out of control/experimental style is very appealing as they go crazy not only on stage but within their songs! however this changes ever so slightly in their latest album "Armistice"
With their second album "Armistice" they stick to most of their Mute Math sound that we heard on their first album but within certain songs they go a little less experimental and go for a less crazy and more mellow sound, like on "Clipping" and "Pins and Needles" and I for one am a big fan! On top of this they put forth a a song or two that has a lot of radio and movie sound track appeal like "Spotlight," "Electrify" and "Backfire." Having songs featured on both the Transformers series and the Twilight series it is obvious that Mute Math is getting a lot of secular recognition. and in my opinion its easy to do so when you don't include the words God or Jesus in your lyrics.
If your looking for a band and album that has a lot of spiritual undertones and meaning then Mute Math is not the band for you. however if you are looking for a fun and clean album with a lot of cool songs and sounds then Mute Math is for you! Both of Mute Math's albums in my opinion are amazing and worth taking a listen!
