MUTEMATH - Play Dead (2017) Album • Page 5

I hope it isn't the end but at the same time I can't really imagine them going on w/o Roy and Darren. Mutemath has always been about all of them to me.

 

I'm seeing them Wednesday - did not realise the album wouldn't have dropped by then haha.

 

So I guess this comes out in 4 days.

 

I'm excited to finally hear it!

 

This is gonna be a bittersweet listen for sure but I'm still really excited for it... Not sure how I'd feel about the band continuing after the end of their touring commitments, but I support whatever decision they end up making.

 

Really good interview - not because it explains why everything happened with Darren (it doesn't), but because Paul really seems to be in a good headspace about it.

It has me even more excited for the album, too: "The main message is about life after death-that is what this whole album is about-in the face of decomposition and facing the end of some chapter, and even from literal life/death, or the death of certain eras of our lives."

 

Only a couple days now!

 

DRIP DRIP

 

Also one more song officially released.

 

jamjamjamjamjamjamjamjam so so so jammy

 

Funky.

 

Finally on my way home from school, ready to jam the fuck out of this. Anyone listened yet?

 

This album is ridiculously good, so much crazy shit going on here

 

Yeah I'm really loving it so far.

 

Online listening party tonight

 

It's everything you'd want in a Mutemath album. Lots of classic sounding stuff and lots of new sounding stuff. I really like it after just one listen

 

First listen was great! Can't wait to spend more time with this.

 

Loving every minute of this midway through my first listen.

 

First impression is they combined Vitals and Odd Soul. Really impressed.

 

This is sounding really good to my ears.

 

Break the Fever and Achilles Heel are early standouts for me (plus Hit Parade -- that song is still incredible)

 

I have a ticket to the Cleveland show, decided not to go anymore, but after hearing the album I'll go to it. Really like the album just sad to know this may be it.

 

Lyrics:

 

Why is everyone acting like they're done because Darren left? From what I hear their new drummer is a solid replacement, maybe he'll join them full time.

Some bands continue on even when band members die, I think Mutemath will be fine.

Also Break the Fever is the groovy cousin to Stratosphere.
