    It'll be difficult to find many albums that can top the type of creativity Odd Soul contains, making it one of the essential must-have albums of 2011.

    While the band do seem to reconcile something within by the conclusion of Odd Soul, the unpredictable, biting musical journey to get there makes for some powerful listening. [Nov 2011, p.96]

    Odd Soul is appropriately odd, but not as odd as the band has proven that they can successfully be in the past.

    My favorite band of all time. It's a must have album for both fans and people who are trying to find a new genre of music. Blood Pressure, Odd Soul, Walking Paranoia, Quarantine, all amazing MuteMath creations that take you into a new world of music.… Expand

    This is good stuff! Love the Blood Pressure video, too. I enjoyed the 1st album quite a bit, and Armistice a bit less. Odd Soul is much, much better than Armistice, and mostly quite different from the debut release. You find MM doing, among other tasty flavors, soulful prog rock (!) from the 60s-70s. They channel Yes and Traffic-Steve Winwood at times and it's really, really nice ear candy. Some of the cuts would be right at home on a mix-CD that included The Black Keys also. A track like Prytania could have fit right in on the Armistice release. Highlights for me: Tell Your Heart Heads Up; then just get to Sun Ray and continue thru Quarantine (that's 7 tracks)! That's saying a lot!… Expand
