The Edge

Alternative band MUTEMATH’s new album proves to be something I enjoyed upon downloading it. Titled “Vitals” it was a taste of something new because I usually download bands I like but I am willing to try new things. Released on November 13th it was a breath of fresh air.
The first song belongs on your workout playlist with its title “Joyride” it sounds like its title. It is lively with the vocals over the top moving the song along.
“Monument” is another favorite of mine with its sweet sound and smooth vocals throughout. The song has a lively chorus as well that forces the listener to get up and move. In my opinion, this song is where the band shows who they really are judging by the sound throughout the song.
“Stratosphere” is another favorite of mine as soon as it started to play. The lead singer sings about living in the stratosphere. This song does not slow down from the last song before it which is pleasing to the listener.
“All I See” is the point where the songs slow down on the album and slowly build throughout the song. There is a feeling of escalation at one point in the song which is what I like about it. The song gives the listener a chance to get an idea of what the vocals sound like before the song abruptly ends.
The title track “Vitals” brings the liveliness back to life with vocals other instrumental sounds. This song is for sure another staple for a workout playlist among other key tracks.
“Composed” is a bit slow to begin with vocals taking over before the music itself takes command. “You keep my composed..” the lead singer sings early in the song. I find this song to be truly unique in the sound and how it flows.

Of course, there are more songs on this album than there are listed here, and I am sure they deserve to be listened to as well.
Personally, I’ve heard of MUTEMATH before but have not taken the time to sit down and listen to an entire album. I would say it is worth a listen or two just because of the overall sound itself. I would recommend this album to anyone who wants to listen to good music or just wants to discover a new band like me. -Signe
