    31Knots is an amazing group which I like to jokingly refer to as "my favourite post-indie jazz punk math rock band." In reality, it would be unfair to affix them with a genre label, as they possess one of the only truly original sounds I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. Songs go from manic to melodic, discordian to catchy and back again all within the space of four minutes. "Worried Well" is not my favourite 31Knots album... it's rather a blending of their previous styles that comes after 2007's "The Days And Nights Of Everything Anywhere," which took the group to new places and was very successful after multiple listens. "Worried Well," on the other hand, while very enjoyable, is far less cohesive. If you're new to the band, I might recommend beginning with "It Was High Time To Escape" (2003) or "Talk Like Blood" (2005). Skip their first album for now, "ClimaxAntiClimax", unless you're really into the conventional math rock/post-rock sound. These elements would be incorporated into their future, more original recordings. Full Review »
