  1. Absolute Punk (Staff reviews)

    You have to remember: optimism doesn't always have to be cliche, and while the band struggles lyrically ("Stars and Stripes" has Robert Schwartzman trying to imitate Joni Mitchell or the Byrds), they still know their strengths.
  2. Alternative Press

    Uptempo songs are memorable and hummable, but slower tunes can be repetitive and overly saccharine. [Jul 2010, p.127]

    Despite the mildly pleasant pop tracks scattered throughout, the choking dissonance makes Eureka an incongruent mess.

    This is just another album that proves that there are many alternative bands that try to hard to imitate the hit-makers and fail big-time. "Eureka" has it's slight upsides, but it is very unappealing to any music fan, from any genre.… Expand
