Mutemath Band • Page 9

Oh yeah good ol Earthsuit.

I went to a private Christian high school and one of the girls in my class' mom knew them somehow and got them to come do a private show for us lol. It was wild

 

They were so good and so bad lol

 

That song is insane, should I listen to the whole album??

 

the only things i know about Earthsuit are that some former members have also done stuff with Mutemath in the past and that they somehow have a connection to my childhood church (Darren attended around the same time i did and i didn't know until a few years ago)

 

I haven't listened to Earthsuit for a looong time, it is certainly a trip. Roy and Darren (briefly) were in the band too

edit: My page didn't update, didn't see that was already stated lol

 

Oh yeah it's wild

 

I’ll echo that you absolutely should. A lot of it is very indicative of its time, but by the same token it was also way ahead of its time particularly for CCM. I used to listen to “One Time”, “Against the Grain”, “Do You Enjoy the Distortion?”, “Osmosis Land”, and “Schizophreniac” on repeat. I always connected with this line from “Schizophreniac”:

“Youth camp junkies don’t get enough to make the buzz last / where y’all at, where y’all at?”

At the time I thought I loved it because of the guilt I felt for going to Christian youth camp and getting that high and then not following through as the buzz faded. Now I think I have a clearer understanding that it resonated with me for entirely different reasons I wasn’t yet ready to face. It’s a bizarre album, but it’s got a legit legacy in the CCM world because of how revolutionary it was. I recall a time where, if you knew who Earthsuit was in certain Christian circles, you were cool lol.

 

Earthsuit slapped

 

I've listened to Earthsuit but only remember the song above. Sounds a lot more like P.O.D and Skindred's softer stuff than I remember lol

 

I think I can remember people in youth group listen to White Horse (I think that was the name) but it was too wild for my middle school mind to appreciate. I feel like I’d enjoy them now

 

Listening to the first two albums today and I still don't understand how they weren't one of the biggest bands in the world. "Spotlight" is such a lay-up radio hit and it didn't even chart.

 

which says a lot since it was also in Twilight
