A Clear Perception is filled to the brim with extremely catchy post-Fear Factory staccato riffing and leads that alternate between shredding and textured soundscaping. The interplay between the drums and guitars is truly amazing here and must be heard to be believed. On top of this, the songwriting is solid throughout and surprisingly complex for a band this young. The vocals are varied with deep growls and chanted clean singing being dominated by a hardcore scream. Nevertheless, the lyrics are somewhat juvenile, mixing despair with a youthful anger, a combination that does not necessarily work all the time. And alas, this is the sole problem with this album that I just cant get over. It is like a young kung fu fighter who has a really flashy style showcasing all the incredible acrobatic abilities and fancy moves that are difficult to pull off. Nevertheless, an older and more experienced master knows that all you really need to incapacitate an opponent is a single, well-placed kick in the balls.
I have a feeling The Eyes Of A Traitor will become said sensei soon, given the experience they are likely to gain from touring with Gojira. Nevertheless, even in their current formative state, their music is really powerful and impressive.

Don't really see the connection between The Joker and metalcore. And what's wrong with wearing a Joker t-shirt in the first place? Have one myself, you know, a much cooler one than that guy... but still.
