Review
Three years ago MUTEMATH started to make a name for themselves with a very straight forward U2-ish, self-titled debut album. They have returned this year with a follow up to that album, and I must say Armistice completely embarrasses their first album.
Thay have decided to make the complex vocals of Paul Meany as the forefront of this album. From the first few beats of the opening track "The Nerve" I found myself hooked into the album. That is not to stay that there are not some songs that did not wet my pop-rock pallet (This is the band that redid the Transformers Theme song for the latest movie as well as have a few songs on the Twighlight Soundtrack.)With songs like "Spotlight" and "Goodbye" it creates a great balance to the rest of the album. For the most part Amistice is a solid album that is well comprised of complex vocal melodies, a few hints of New Orleans brass band, and etheral string and synth combos. When the last song was done, I found myself satisfied and looking forward to what this band has to offer in the future.
