  3. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    It’s hard not to get a kick out of hearing such an independent spirit raging through this album, even if commercially, Simple Math doesn’t quite add up

  4. 7.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Although the band doesn’t completely succeed at creating a concept album, they do succeed in making an album that’s worth many listens
