II

IIAs rock bands go, The Psychic Paramount is a rigorously all in proposition. They make impact a state of being rather than a discrete event. As single minded as the music may seem at first strike, it exists at higher elevations of decibel, intensity, motion, color, temperature and spills freely over the walls of genre, magma into new land. It is punk in its fury, noise in its rash extremity, and progressive in form. II is their 2nd studio album.
