I Love Math – Getting To The Point Is Beside It
I dedicated a post to I Love Math by doing a write up for their single St. Josephine.
I Love Math released the wonderfully titled “Getting to the Point Is Beside It” on May 27th. They are bit of a supergroup from Dallas comprised of members of Apples in Stereos, Deathray Davies etc. An indie rock supergroup of bands I admittedly don’t know about so does it count?
After a few listens, GTTPIBI wasn’t too bad. Their standout track is still “Josephine Street” and may sneak into my top 100 songs of the year. While it’s only a standout because it’s more memorable then other tracks. By memorable I don’t mean better…but more of the lines of catchy (catchy can be good but bad too).
I Love Math creates relaxing and simplistic music with standout vocals. It’s the kind of album that I find myself listening to without realizing it. Though it’s not really stimulating. There’s always that album that you like to listen to because it’s good to sleep to or relaxing but I tend to want more then that. A second standout would be “I’ve Seen Better Days” for stepping outside the box with a semi guitar solo in the last half. In a sense I feel like if they tried to step outside the box more they could’ve had something amazing.
Alas it’s more of the lines of above average and while there’s nothing wrong with it…it’s hard to be successful just being “mediocre”. Some interesting titles though like “Only Clowns Are Scary“.
Rating: 3.75 out of 5
I kind of like the album…but it’s one the those albums I’ll go back to sporadically and my mood on the album changes from time to time.
