Release Date: April 24, 2012 Max Collins, Jon Siebels, and Tony Fagenson were fresh out of high school when they released their self-titled album and the breakout single "Inside Out." Through the next few years, the universal canonizing of their Horrorscope track "Here's To The Night" led then to the poor sales of their third album It's All in Your Head and to RCA dropping them off the label; their few minutes in the spotlight faded and so did the band...

Summary: What the...this is 2012, right? It has been nine years since Eve 6 last graced us with their unmistakable brand of pop-rock, and their resurgence comes with waves of both nostalgia and skepticism. For a band that only released three albums spanning a five year period, they enjoyed more than their fair share of success - basking in the glory of hits such as 'Inside Out', 'Promise', and 'Here's To The Night...

Sound: I really liked the sound of this album, on every song except "Sunset Strip Bitch". They tend to use a lot of effects on the guitar and a lot of different tunings, but the guitarist is fairly good. However, the bassist seems to be kind of lacking, but he makes up for it with good vocals. It has fast and slow songs, just like any alternative rock album. // 10 Lyrics and Singing: The lyrics of this band are great...

Sound: For a debut album, this is really quite good. I can't really describe the sound better than alternative rock, as they really don't sound like too many other bands. Granted, there are no solos worthy of mention of this disk (or that I can remember), but songs like "Inside Out" and "Leech" produce great sounds that I can remember to this day. The music is wonderful for a debut album, though it could have been better...

Sound: Eve 6 continued their with their alternative rock sound on this album, and most songs are very good. The first single, "Think Twice", is a fantastic song that really shows off what made Eve 6 in the first place. However, songs like "Hey Montana" just aren't Eve 6 and belong more to a country band. Well actually theres only one of those, but there are a couple of not-too-great songs. // 8 Lyrics and Singing: I think that lyrics are definately the strong-point of Eve 6...

Horrorscope, the second effort from the young L.A. trio Eve 6, is more confident and accomplished than their first (self titled) LP, but the band's music and lyrics often still sound labored ("Your heinous highness broke her hymen"). It's only when they loosen their grip, as on the slinky pop of "Here's to the Night" and the sprung punk of "Amphetamines," that Eve 6 deliver on their very real promise.

If you buy only five or six CD's a year, you might well find EVE6's take
on guitar-driven alt-pop to be quite resonant and involving, with clever
lyrics and a fistful of hooks. If, on the other hand, you buy (or
otherwise acquire) a lot of music, you're a bit more likely to see the
band as another variation on the commercial-alternative flavor of the
month, albeit with more promise than some of the other crap on the
airwaves...

Eve 6's pop comes pumped up in the high-Gatorade style of athletic guitar punk. Gnarly tales, confessions and observations about how "real life plays tricks on the brain," courtesy of extroverted leadman Max Collins, sprint through the Los Angeles trio's Horrorscope. It's an almost perfectly consistent follow-up to the band's successful 1998 debut - perhaps a tad too consistent...

Punk poppers can't quite expand their horizons on their third album, radio punk rockers Eve 6 seem to want to improve themselves but keep bumping up against their own limitations of style and substance. Attempted anthems such as "Girlfriend" and "Think Twice" are ham-handed. "Good Lives" intends to be a critique of classism but suffers from maudlin instrumentation and ends up sounding like a pale copy of the group's 2000 prom epic, "Here's to the Night...
