MUTEMATH - Play Dead (2017) Album • Page 3

I am so ready for this. That third preview sounds awesome. I have a feeling this may be their best release.

 

Hit Parade is on Now 63. Saw it today at Best Buy. Its listed under "free bonus songs for emerging artists" or something like that for the last 5 or so tracks.

haha "Emerging artists"

 

Holy. Shit. Darren quit the band. This is horrible.

 

Yeah, that is a huge bummer! I am still excited for the new album, but it really doesn't bode well for the future.

 

What the fuuuuuuuck

 

At least we get to go into this knowing it's almost certainly the last Mutemath album

 

The way the letter is written is so heartbreaking

 

Yeah, that sucks. I hope everything is ok with Darren.

Also the replacement drummer was the drummer in Earthsuit.

 

I never got to see them live. Could have went easily to one of the shows on the Vital tour, but decided not to go. :/ I have the opportunity to see them on this tour and may do it, but it won't be the same. What a huge dang bummer.

(maybe Daren is going to bigger and better things? Maybe it was a financial thing? I know he is other worldly talented so maybe he got a great offer. Only dumb guessing)

 

this is a major bummer.

 

I don't think I've been so upset about a band member leaving since Aaron left Underoath.

Also, comparing this statement with the one made after Roy left makes me wonder what the heck happened.

 

Yeah, really wondering what's going on with the band... Hopefully the new album is amazing because I definitely think it could likely be their last.

 

Wow

 

Now I really regret not seeing them after Vitals.

Really wonder what he's going to do next and curious as to what the circumstances were

 

Damn, it sounds like this decision was very abrupt. I can't believe it.

 

Huge bummer but at least we get one last album with him, even if it ends up being the band as a whole's last.

 

Wow I am kinda reeling from this. Gonna be so weird seeing them next month

 

I'd bet that Darren left for the same reason Stacy left Eisley, to spend more time with his family and off the road. I'll bet he is full time Sucre now

 

Possibly, but the timing is strange for that to be the reason. Why not play out the tour then and then step away at a time that makes more sense?

 

I feel like the timing is MORE evidence to it being for family. If he indeed wants to be home more, then not touring is the most immediate way to do that

 

I definitely don't think we can rule out Roy and Darren's departures being connected somehow, considering they left only 3 months apart after both being in the band since the beginning. That's just speculation though and it's totally possible they both left for separate personal reasons.
