Review - :
{$Eve 6} was naturally tossed into the mid-'90s hutch of generic post-grunge alterna-rock (think {$Everclear}, {$Third Eye Blind}, {$Marcy Playground}). Their 1998 self-titled debut went platinum thanks to the heavy spin of single {&"Inside Out."} Their brash attitude was certainly apparent, cheeky pop rock was in the full throw, and two years later {$Eve 6} mold their fiery rock demeanor once again on {^Horrorscope}. It's another conventional rock record, thrashing guitar hooks and throbbing basslines are in place, but frontman {$Max Collins} has lyrically improved. There isn't anything intellectually impressive and the hyperactive little boy excitement is still present, but a lush sweet side also shines through, specifically on songs like {&"Here's to the Night."} The swooning ballad-esque look doesn't last long, for the dozen song set list is primarily hard rock layers of old school metal rock. {&"Rescue"} is vibrant and twitching, glossed with electronic tinges, and {&"On the Roof Again"} is the typical post-break up swan song cast for the pop kids leading the millennial punk revival. It's a nice switch from the angst-ridden insensibility of rockers like {$Fred Durst} and the frilly fluff of the {$Britney}s and {$Christina}s. {^Horrorscope} is a decent move for {$Eve 6}, no slumping nor skyrocketing. And like their modern pop/rock counterparts, {$Eve 6} keep it basic. [The Japanese release adds a track, {&"Jet Plane."}] ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide
