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.

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.
