Album Of The Day: Vitals by Mutemath

Released 10 years ago today is the fourth studio album from electronic rock band Mutemath. This band is one of my favorite bands and they put on such a great show for the tours supporting this album in late 2015 and early 2016. The lyrics are sometimes love songs, sometimes reminiscing on the good times of the past or even the hurt in their lives. But even with some dark themes in the lyrics on occasion, the music is still upbeat and positive. The title track is a fun instrumental jam, and the whole album is full of even more synths and electronic elements. Their previous albums had more guitar, but I feel like the electronic vibe makes it a more dance-y than their previous albums which is cool. Many remixes of "Monument" were released around this time, and songs like "Light Up", "Joy Rides" and "Used To" are definitely highlights of this album. This is my favorite album after the band's excellent debut, I think, though I really like all their albums. I can't believe it's already been 10 years!
