Growing up as a tweenager, I was pretty darn big on Psyopus. At the time I first laid ears upon the Rochester-based mathcore act, they were unlike any of the modern metal bands I've heard, and their penchant for off-kilter guitar playing and uneven song structures was something which struck me as nothing short of incredible. Several years have passed, and I'm dangerously close to approaching 20 on the day that this sound-off is being written. Present me has given Odd Senses a listen, so what do I think of it now? Psyopus' third full-length record only manages to be decent at best. While it certainly is neat from an instrumentation perspective, that's really all there is to the album, as a lot of the songcraft here is sacrificed in exchange for technical wankery. This offering could've been a little more bearable if it was just an EP, not an extended play that's disguised as a quite inconsistent studio album. Jamming a couple Psyopus songs is guaranteed fun and all, but tread carefully if you dare to check a full LP of theirs out. Angel recommends: "The Burning Halo," "X and Y," "Ms. Shyflower," and "A Murder to Child".

This album should come prepackaged with a bottle of aspirin.

I dig "X and Y" and "A Murder to Child" for the most part but the rest of the record is very
jarring to listen to.

Good instrumentation, lots of talent, but music is an artistic interpretation of a bad fever dream.

their music is so outrageous that many understandably won't be able to handle it, but even with all of the ridiculous technical mayhem going on the band is still able to make some pretty good songs. A passable release despite what most people say

Not going to lie, this album has some cool moments and the band has one hell of a guitarist. But other than that, I find this album to be completely un-listenable. If this doesn't define the phrase "overdoing it" I don't know what does.

finally, the little grind band that could actually did. at long last, a mature release from a band that epitomizes potential.
