Tera Melos's Untitled (often cited as their eponymous release, or simply the Melodies) remains the best math record I've ever heard. With all four members well versed in jazz theory, the album is jam packed with irregular chord voicings, liquid time signatures, beautiful guitar phrasing and spazzy dissonant freakouts that makes each song as unpredictable as Kanye West at an award ceremony. Nick Reinhart grabs his motherfucking guitar by the neck and strangles the beast the whole time; I swear you've never heard double handed tapping until you've listened to this. Likewise, Vince's drum beats are consistantly unique and inventive, often stealing the show (see "Melody 3") with his... well, incredible drumming. No matter the amount of replays, this album still blows my mind with each listening.
