Mutemath Armistice Review

Mutemath's self titled debut album was a truly great album that relied on catchy hooks and melodies that were present, up front, and strongly supported. with the musical success of this album it left a lot of anticipation for the next one, Armistice. Once everyone had played every track on the first album, they hungered for more, and weren't expecting such a vastly different and disappointing album.
Mutemath's style has generally been focused in the contemporary and main-stream amusement. With this new album you can tell that they have been so focused on being different and experimental that they have forgotten who they are and what it is that makes their music so appealing. They sometimes grasp for their old sound in tracks like "The Nerve" and "Backfire" by slapping a dancy or catchy drumbeat on their songs that aren't dancy or catchy. This is a common problem among bands that are almost famous. the ones that open for big bands, but you have never really heard of them. You can't expect a song to be catchy by simply having a catchy drumbeat that doesn't support the rest of the song. I think the world needs to learn this. Sidenote: Kings of Leon are an example of how drumbeats should fit into the song, and they are immensley popular.
I think the biggest disappointment I experienced when i first listened to this album was the lack of melody. Both the lyrics and the melodies are weak and most of the melodies aren't even in the vocals, but hidden in some wierd synth instrument, yet lead singer, Paul Meany, seems to push his vocals to the very front and creat a choppy pool of sound rather than a melodic piece of auditory art that you can sing along to. Sorry Mutemath.
I apologize for all of the spelling and grammar errors that are probably scattered throughout this review.

P.S. I've never written a review before, that was fun.

My Dilema

Ok, this blog will be a little controvercial (how do you spaell that)
especially since it has the same title as Hitler's book
i just realized that
anywho, this is on the subject of Miley Cyrus
i will address some common complaints about her
1. She has no talent
ok, almost fair to say, but let's see you write a number one
sure she has connections, but even with connections, you still need talent to write a song that appeals greatly to america
2. She sucks at singing
this one is just flat out wrong
i have heard her sing live and i know people who have heard her doing a sound check and she sings just as good as she does on the album
and when have you ever heard her sing off pitch?
or any other singing defaults?
3. Her voice is annoying
ok, this just opinion but i just want to say that i have never been annoyed by her voice
4. She's ugly
my response: you're gay
and in case you're wondering, my girl preferance is the only one that's right.
no one else's opinion matters/should stray from that of my own
jfk
but seriously

The two best quotes today....

Numba 1- Me and my friend Adam were in a thrift store
and there was a shirt with Hitler on it
Adam saw it and said hey look at this
and without thinking i said, "is that Adolf?"
as if he was a mutual friend of mine
ha
and 2- we were playing scattergories or whatever
and the thing was animals that start with the letter n
and a girl walked and inquired about the subject and it went a little something like this:
"whats the subject and stuff?"
"animals that start with the letter n"
"thats easy, dog"
"no it has to start with n"
"oh so like alligator?"
