Eunoia - "'Psyop Of The Year"

The jarring sounds vomited up here make more sense in terms of songwriting on the second song, It seems the albums more abrasively pounding opener was geared more toward gaining your attention. Even with the sloppiness of production and arrangements that sometimes sound like they just kept recording as they threw their instruments down the stairs. Until the chaos breaks out after the first verse, they seemed to be more into writing a song than just sonic confrontation. I sis like the more jangling cleaner guitar tones on the first song. These guys draw a great deal of inspiration from punk and even grind core 

"Black Highlighter" is all noise thrown about in a spastic manner and very little in the way of song to it. They reach a better balance on " Introspection a Different Kind of Weighted Blanket". The more spoken vocals remind me of King Missile. The song ends up going in a pretty interesting direction.  Is my favorite song so far. It does have the more abrasive elements but they are given contrast. The is a crudely deliberate riff that menaces " Leather Lollipop". They song ends up going into a pretty heavy riff, though not as overt as many places this album takes you. I like the unique way the approach the angular twists of their sound

The more aggressive "My Room Mate got Pysopped"  has humorous s thrown in but those are really only clever the first time.  Overall it feel more sound oriented than song oriented. There are few cool parts guitar wise, but the rule here is cool riffs alone does not a good song make. A more grind core pound falls upon "How to Watch Pro Football".  Things also end on a more punk vibe, with a kinda of gang chorus type feel in spots. I will give this an 8, I think they did what they set out to accomplish and sometimes they touch on magic sometimes they kick up a bunch of noise. It is more that the noise is not my thing, but they do hit on moments that are very much my thing and they are great.
