Remember the days when every band from Bon Jovi to the Fixx embraced keyboards like a long-lost lover? Whether you consider rock's tickling of the electronic ivories the good ol' days or the devil's spawn will determine how much you are going to like a good part of Eve 6's Horrorscope. Once again, the band enlists producer Don Gilmore, who expands the group's sound with dense, unsustained vocals; basic Van Halen riffs ("On the Roof Again," "Amphetamines"); and a rhythmic urgency that resurrects images of '80s group the Call ("Rescue," "Promise"). Eve 6 recorded their debut barely after the ink had dried on their high school diplomas. There's little doubt that the talented young trio holds tremendous promise (the band members can write head-bobbing hooks blindfolded), but in terms of fresh songwriting creativity, Horrorscope falls short of the efforts of similarly precocious contemporaries such as Ash and Supergrass. This is largely Gilmore's album, and when Eve 6 find the confidence to toss aside the studio-trickery crutch and the pop-metal security blanket, they should grow into a formidable rock band. --Beth Massa

 tighter, cohesive, and fantastic! July 28, 2000

It was almost impossible to believe that this was truly Eve 6 when I popped Horrorscope into the CD player. I discovered that this trio has formed a much ballsier, tighter sound, while keeping all the infectious hooks and witty wordplay from their debut album. Eve 6 is influenced by old school punk rock...and it shines wonderfully through in rockers like "Nocturnal" and "Jet Pack." They also throw new elements into the mix, as "Rescue" and "On the Roof Again" have light industrial touches. The ballad "Here's to the Night" shows Eve 6's sensitive capabilities. Overall, Horrorscope is a catchy, incredible punk-pop album. Run...don't walk to your nearest record store.

Though definitely leaning on the "pop" of the term "pop punk," Eve 6 is perhaps one of the wittiest and best-educated bands in rock & roll today. Deft-spoken linguist Max Collins steps fresh off of the success of the band's radio-friendly first release to produce an even greater collection of ear candy complete with Eve 6's patented tongue-twisting lyrical stylings. From the frank honesty and tongue-in-cheek wit of "Promise" to the nearly frantic urgency of "Enemy," the album unravels and keeps you listening close to the lyrics so the tunes can be as amusing as they are engrossing. While definitely not my general taste in music, Eve 6 is just one of those bands you can't help but listen to, and come away from feeling smarter for the time you spent.

I traditionally only listen to ska, but the Eve 6 CD somehow caught my eye. Horroscope is definitely an amazing CD. Bang and Girl eyes are certainly the best tracks in the CD, but nocturnal is also worthy of much praise. Anyone, whether you love punk, pop (God forbid), classical, ska, metal; it is very worth your while to pick up horroscope. Wondering about the title of this review?? Listen to "girl eyes" on horroscope and you will understand.
 The 2nd best pop-punk CD this year (Next to MxPx) August 5, 2000
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Eve 6 have greatly matured since the days of their self-titled debut. Their music has become more in-depth, the lyrics became smarter, and the CD became BETTER. This is the 2nd best pop-punk CD this year, next to MxPx's "The Everpassing Moment". Stand out tracks include the first single, "Promise", as well as "Nocturnal", "Rescue", and "On The Roof Again", which is a hilarious track. My only complaint is it wears off really quick. It just doesn't have the same life in it after the 15th or so listen. And it may be a little too goody-goody lyric-wise. Let's face it, with a track called "Amphetamines", you would think the track would thrash at breakneck speed with almost completely imcomprehensible lyrics. But it's only a song about the most worn-out topic on Earth, GIRLS. But aside from that, it is a great CD and somphmore effort.
Eve 6 rocks, and so does this disc September 11, 2002

This CD is better than just about everything that's out there in the modern rock market. Eve 6's lyrics on this album are cunning and unique, such as "I professed my love in an animalistic manner, like an endless foreign flick, my subtitles were sick" in Rescue, "Maladjusted just untrusted, rusted, sometimes brilliant busted thoughts" in Promise, "Your heinous highness broke her hymen" in On the Roof Again, and "It's good to be bad if it's better than bored", in Girl Eyes. Those are just a few of the many examples of great lyrical content. Eve 6 definitely have their own style with some valuable traits. I perceive them to be classy, catchy, clever, and honest. Max Collins' voice is packed with originality and the lyrics are often loaded with sexual content, covered with class.
As for the music, this is basically pop punk(punk with a poppy edge, DO NOT think Blink 182, Eve 6 is nothing like them!) with touches of 80s rock and early to mid 90s 3 chord rock(such as the Pixies). Horrorscope is definitely a one of a kind, and you're guaranteed to find nothing like it anywhere. This CD always makes me smile when I listen to it, and it's one of my personal favorites.
