Accepting Excessive Information Is Violence To My Brain begins with the track “No Matter What I Achieve, I Will Not Be Satisfied”. It is a droning track, but is quite active in its stasis, with bursts of resonance popping out of the noise, which is heavy on the mid-frequencies. It is without many lows, and a limited amount of highs. A filter sweeps through some frequencies, terminating in a thunk, then sweeping back toward the high end.
“I Calm Down By Impulsive Behavior” has a filter of some sort that makes it sound like it’s moaning. There is the filter sweep that was present in the previous track, here in a similar manner. The noise is heavy on the low-middle of the sound spectrum, with some bass and not very many highs.
“Society Doesn’t Recognize The Purpose of My Life” has harsher-sounding noise, with constantly droning distorted resonance. Again the filter-sweep is present, but the sound that it’s sweeping through is harsher, more distorted, with very high-volume frequencies that are solidly within the most sensitive range of human hearing. Outside of this range, there are some highs, and the lows are reserved for the percussive thunk of the filter hitting them.
“There Are Many People Who Are Superior Than Me” has a frequency-profile with more highs, which make it sound like distorted, flowing water with a background din of softer noise. The filter sweep is again present, but it is slightly more buried in the noise, and does not have its characteristic thunk when it goes to the lows.
“I Act According To Immediate Desire” has the filter sweep, and it does thunk this time around. There is a focus on the low-mids, but the entire frequency spectrum is represented in this noise. It sounds like a couple different noise drones rather than one, with the mids droning most prominently, but with a more white-noise-like phenomenon going on in the highs.
“Psychological Methods Don’t Apply To Everyone” has the same filter-sweep, but it does not thunk in this track. There is high resonance in the low-mids, which covers a lot of the sweep. There are very few highs, and there also aren’t many lows. This is the harshest track on the album, so far.
“No One Tries To Understand Me” has active frequencies in the mids and upper-lows which move rapidly up and down in volume, in a fast sort of tremolo. There is also movement in the lows, which are present, and the highs, which barely are, and as the filter sweeps through the sound, it sounds almost digital, though it still has an analog character in many ways.
“I Want Mental Stability, But It Never Happens” is the only track on this album without the characteristic filter-sweep, and there is a very resonant, ring-modulated sound in the mids of the drone. The character of the drone changes quite a bit, at least superficially, as the volume of the resonance changes. It has quite a bit of resonance, a lot of lows, and not many highs. Toward the end the resonance sort of stops mostly, only to return a little. The track cuts out, ending the album.
