  • Thought-provoking spiritual lyrics
  • Amazingly poetic lyrics
  • Darren King is a sweet drummer!
  • Variety of uses of instruments (yarn mallet on electric guitar, extra sub-sonic kick drum for percussive interludes, orchestral bass on an instrumental, AxeSynth on an instrumental, etc.)
  • An amazingly creative backwards music video (yes, they had to learn how to look like they were playing it backwards)!

Check out my previous review of the album.

  1. I knew this was going to be your favorite. Anyone who knows you knows you LOVE mutemath.

    What about Earthsuit?

  2. NICE CHOICE! I like that one too :)

  3. great cd. i thought this was gonna be #1. that video is amazing!!!! i liked this series Codums

  4. Dustin, I’m not going to lie… although Paul Meany and Roy Mitchell-Cárdenas were both Earthsuit members, as well as Darren King (for a time), I’m not the biggest fan of their music. Too hip-hop, reggae. Plus Paul Meany wasn’t the lead vocalist!!!

  5. cool blog
