Founded by the the most infamous rebel known as Roger Williams, Rhode Island is known to be the bad ass of the original 13 colony's. Although Rhode Island has been low key of late, a new force has come to be reckoned with. At the helm of this unstoppable force is Kevin Steinhauser and Justine Mainville. They are also known as, Math the Band.
Their official debut album called, Math the Band Banned the Math, is my favorite CD of 2008. This album is non-stop fun once you get started with the first song, Hey Dude! (A Prelude). The next song, Let's Hear It For Capitalism, sends a chill down your spine and a feeling that the rest of the album will not disappoint. After the CD has finished, you will wonder where the 40 minutes have gone. In those 40 minutes, you will be having a square ball under sea wanting your homework to just go away. From the inventive synth lines, to the comical lyrics, to the the energy you feel in the vocals, not many albums of late can hold a torch to this epic-ness.
If you have ears and want to put them to good use, Math the Band Banned the Math is the best way to go. I think you should give it a first-hand listen for yourself and see what you have been missing out on.
Final Verdict: 9.2
