I've been struggling to concentrate on this brand spankin' new LP from some of my very favorite men in music, but it's hard when Muse updates are flying all over the place, and I get wind that Sonata Arctica have a new LP due out next month (SHORT NOTICE MUCH), etc ad nauseum. But I think I'm finally settling into this album, so - some thoughts.

So, this seriously is becoming the Summer of Music for me, as Mute Math finally announced their sophomore release (Armistice), which will be hitting the streets on August 18th. This has been a loooooong time coming, and I've gotten so used to waiting on it I sort of gave up on following MM news for awhile there. It's a good thing I subscribe to ( Read more... )

I really should be focusing solely on the TEST OF EVIL PROPORTIONS I have in Hist/Dev tomorrow, but... there are a couple things I can't help but share and squee over:
