Struction: Self-Titled EP
[NFI]

How to write an album review in five easy steps:

1) Describe the album.

2) List a quality of the album that you enjoyed.

3) List a quality of the album that you did not enjoy or thought needed improvement.

4) Make an insightful observation about the album.  This adds substance to the review!

5) Finish with another quality of the album that you enjoyed.  This ends the review on a high note!

1)  Structions self-titled EP is a 20 minute exercise in raucous math-rockish, post-punk noise making.  The first five songs are short and busy, with the sixth and last song finishing off the album with more of the same and then a few minutes of ambient noises.

2) Nothing comes to mind.

3)  The singers are irritating.  On the song Growth Incident, the girl singer starts rapping.  SHUT UP.

4) Structionwhat does it mean??  It reminds us of struct-ure but not entirely.  Also, it reminds us of de-struction.  These facets evoke a sly postmodernism, a logical de-con-STRUCTION if you will.  It is as if to subtly mock our arrogant Western attitudes about what is right and what is wrong.  But then again, to paraphrase a teaching of the philosopher John Searle, Truth relativism is a really stupid thing to think.

5) Nothing comes to mind.

This album can be purchased at NFI
