5.0 out of 5 stars
an awesome CD from a very cool band, July 27, 2000
This is an amazing CD. I bought it after hearing "InsideOut" always playing on the radio, but I ended up loving everysong. There are interesting lyrics that incorporates a large vocabulary, plus different, interesting tunes well-played by the three-man band. It's hard to compare Eve6 to another band. The songs on this CD range from happy, light-hearted ballads, such as "Open Road Song", to harder, more 'angry' music like "Leech" to mellow but strange songs like "Jesus Nitelite". Then there are quizzical thought-provokers like "There's a Face" and catchy tunes such as "Small Town Trap". No part of the CD really sticks out at the first listening; the vocals and normal, the instruments are pretty-well played, the lyrics and music themselves are slightly above-average, but somehow, as a whole, Eve6 stands out as a CD one can listen to over and over again, without ever getting bored. I would definitely recommend this CD to fans of all kinds of music, because Eve6 is a band you do not want to miss out on.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Should be 3 3/4 stars....infectious..., January 6, 2000
I, like just about anybody else who listened to the radio during the summer of 1998, caught the tumble-down lyrics of "Inside Out" as well as the driving rhythm behind what appeared at first to be such a pop-punk type song with surprisingly adroit lyrics. Shortly after, I saw the band play at a Blockbuster Music promo - scaled down, no drums (Tony played guitar) and only 3 songs - "Open Road Song," "How Much Longer," and of course - "Inside Out." I was amazed that these teenagers posessed such committed musicianship and artistry - to look at them, you would not think this - but again, what a pleasant surprise. I had to compliment Max's (vox and bass) poetic lyrics and presence ("I loved you while he was in you in the shower" - from Showerhead"...yes, they may need some growth and they do occasionally resort to (forgive) Bryan Adams-ish "Yeah-yeahing" to close out their fierce endings (great stuff) - but this is a band that I hope that we'll be hearing from....a cut above average SoCal rock, and a cut above most albums of the genre. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent band's excellent debut, November 28, 2001
By A Customer
A lot of reviewers predicted when this CD first came out and "Inside Out" began receiving airplay that Eve 6 would always be a one hit wonder. They were proved wrong almost immediately with the success of "Leech", and then again in 2000 with "Promise", "Here's To The Night", and "On The Roof Again" from Horrorscope. But don't buy this CD because the band has more than one hit, buy it because this entire CD is incredible. Eve 6 has perfected a distinctive sound, which separates them from all the junk rock on the radio these days. In case you were worried, they're no soft, poppy Lifehouse-style band. The guitar work is great, although not revolutionary. "Open Road Song" and "Small Town Trap" combine witty lyrics with driving guitar. All in all, the best CD of 1998.
