While sounding "mathy" and technical, listening to their drum parts shows that most songs are in 4/4 or 3/4. Does anyone have evidence (i.e., names of songs that are believed to not be in 4/4 or 3/4 or have changing meters or are in compound meters)?

Trying to find other major media reviews that can be referenced for passing the notability requirement. The Guitar Player article is the largest magazine Maps And Atlases was reviewed in, but there are others. MrLiberty 04:39, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Math rock?

While sounding "mathy" and technical, listening to their drum parts shows that most songs are in 4/4 or 3/4. Does anyone have evidence (i.e., names of songs that are believed to not be in 4/4 or 3/4 or have changing meters or are in compound meters)? Badagnani (talk) 05:08, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Concert tours

I'm not sure if this is notable to add, but Maps and Atlases went on tour (and still are at the moment) with Ra Ra Riot as their second opener after Princeton. 74.215.220.187 (talk) 20:10, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
