quirky and inventive
author: Steve Mueske
Five stars! This album is full of whimsy and downright scary musicianship. Imagine Faith No More thrown into a blender with the Tubes, throw in a jazz sensibility, a drummer who can rock with the best progressive drummers and you have a recipe for surprise. I wish more people knew about this band. It's a real crime they are not a huge industry success. But then again I'm glad. I feel like I have a slice of something special. A bit of melty, gelatinous, space, prog-rock, jazz with Elfmanesque lyrics and vocals. Do yourself a favor and pick this up!

Impressive

Living in Izmir/Turkey, I found Bubblemath at myspace and was so impressed that I ordered their CD immediately. An impressive blend of distorted guitars,wicked odd rhythms and polyphonic medieval sounding vocals...If you like Gentle Giant- get this one now.

A promising debut.

I was seduced by the band on MySpace when they decided to invite me to be their friend. I had previously turned down many such requests from other bands but the draw of Bubblemath was too strong. Intriguing, interesting and exciting stuff....almost as if Yes and Devo had collided and created a new deranged form of music. Can't wait to check out the follow-up!

Very enjoyable

Found this band on MySpace. Liked 'em well enough. They put their CD on sale. Figured, what the hell. Got it. Liked 'em even more. They sound like a cross between Faith No More and Dream Theater with a dash of Mike Keneally on occasion. Very excellent debut.
