With strong vocals and song variety, Simple Math is more than just an average rock record, matching every expectation that was laid out by 2009’s Mean Everything to Nothing. On a more hypercritical level, Simple Math as a whole feels like a concept album that nearly accomplishes what it sets out for, falling just short of the finish line. This particular track begs to be heard, with its strong guitar riffs and pulsating drum lines complimenting Hulls voice to an undeniable degree. ∺pril Fool, the bands latest single, is one of the albums strongest moments, as Hull claims hes got that rock and that roll, which is more than evident by the song’s close. With each of its nine tracks seeming like a journal entry into Hulls mind, a few of them stand out as irresistible fun. Although this is the Atlanta quintet’s third official release, Simple Math is refreshing, with tracks that are remarkably accessible and lyrics that leave the listener saying, WaitI do feel like that. An album built upon its predecessors, Simple Math is easy to love, particularly for any listener familiar with the bands sound. Easy guitar layers reside underneath Hulls voice as the album begins to build before leading the listener on a 45-minute journey.
