 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.
 Dull and lifeless alt-rock...NEXT! October 27, 2000

If I made a list of all the "alternative" (alternative to what?!) rock bands that have surfaced since, say REM's "Murmur" or Nirvana's "Nevermind", it would parallel the dictionary in length. And if I were to remove the bands that were worth your time and hard-earned money, it would only take about a page out of the book. Eve 6 is just one in this long list of soon-forgettable groups. They have merely nudged in progression from their equally lackluster debut. Sure, the guitars are heavier and there's some Casio-keyboard-electronics. Pull me up a chair. Simply, Eve 6's songwriting is terrible, their approach to composition is laughable and Max Collins has the vocal range of Ben Stein. The only bands I find worthwhile are the ones that are innovative and/or have their heart in the music. Eve 6 is neither of these. I hope they liked selling themselves to 1-800-Collect so much that they drop their "music" career for commercials. If you want to hear real "alternative rock" go buy "Doolittle" by The Pixies. Oh and another thing, I beg all of you to stop referring to Eve 6 as "punk-pop". If this is punk we are by far the yuppie generation.

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.
 Great songs almost ruined by heavy handed production. July 27, 2000

These guys have very creative lyrics and good music to go with them. However, their producer for this CD decided to fill in the "empty spaces" in their songs with way too much synth. The synth tramples on the vocals on some songs, almost drowning them out by competing for the same sonic space. While some of keyboard sounds do fit in OK, most of the time it has the flavor of a bad re-mix job. The producer should have stayed away from the ProTools and just let the music "breathe" a little more --- their lyrics and hooks deserve to be heard, not to be drowned out.Other than that problem (which makes the CD difficult for me to enjoy listening to in spots), it's pretty good. As the Amazon.com reviewer said, if you like synth/keyboard, you might like it more than I do, but you had better really like them because they overpower everything else in many spots.

A huge fan of the first album, I've been waiting for this for quite a while. I don't know much about music, but I do know that this will go down as one of the best groups/cds I've ever known. Any songs that have the ability to make me as happy as this one did truly have amazing power. The wacky lyrics (your heinous heighness broke her hymen hey man try to quit your cryin'.) and awesome vocals of Max Collins captivate you throuought the 12 songs. Unfortunately I can't say more about the stylings and intricacies of their playing but I can tell you that this is an incredible CD. Do yourself a favor and get it, you will NOT be dissapointed.
