iTunes Review
A jittery, relentless mood animates the tracks on Armistice, MuteMath’s sophomore album. If the Christian-rooted quartet’s debut album displayed an unusual degree of rhythmic sophistication, this release pushes the grooves into almost avant garde territory, inviting comparisons with the Talking Heads’ Remain In Light for sheer boldness. Armistice veers from the spongy, dub-like throb of “Backfire” to the ominous military trudge of “Burden” and the choppy, high-gloss funk of the title tune, embellishing its beats with pulsating synths and stabbing guitar lines. Singer Paul Meany fully embraces his role as a dance-floor prophet, probing at modern spiritual maladies in “The Nerve” and “No Response.” The softer moments here are surprisingly effective; “Pins and Needles” has a languid jazz feel, while “Lost Year” dispenses with electronica trappings in favor of piano balladry. The kinetic “Spotlight” — used to telling effect on the Twilight film soundtrack — sums up the barrier-challenging spirit of the album.
Customer Reviews
Wow!
I'm on my first listen and I'm already blown away! Armistice has a sense of urgency that I haven't felt in years. I love how these guys don't settle for a good record... they push the envelope to create something more. With each song they tackle something new... a side of themselves that they haven't explored before. Different rythyms, melodies, instrumentation, dynamics and attention to even the most miniscule details make this album as much an instant classic as it is a piece of art... leagues ahead of anything else out there right now. Something for the bands and musicians of tomorrow to aspire to. I read in an interview that they scrapped the first shot at this record... and I have to say... if this album is the result... I'm glad they did. Simply amazing... but don't take my word for it... judge for yourself... you won't be disappointed!
Good but...
Catchy, but a bit too polished. This album feels like its missing the same raw passion which the previous albums had. It's enjoyable but I expected much better
Outstanding...
Enough. Said.
