Eve 6 - It's All in Your Head

The arrival of Eve 6's third album was preceded by the curious news that frontman Max Collins had been cited for indecent exposure charges after he allegedly wandered into a hotel lobby in Pittsburgh naked except for some strategically placed shaving cream. It seemed like an ominous sign: After inking a major label deal straight out of high school, becoming Top 40 stars with its self-titled 1998 debut, and relentlessly touring its sophomore album, 2000's Horrorscope, was the Los Angeles rock trio on the verge of a meltdown? Luckily, It's All In Your Head reveals the band that is very much on top of things, from the thick and creamy guitars on songs such as the spiky "Still Here Waiting" to the potent relationship drama "Think Twice" and the scratchy last-night-on-earth melody that whips through "Not Gonna Be Alone Tonight.," all carried off in a vibrant Foo Fighters/Jimmy Eat World-style. --Aidin Vaziri Amazon.com

Great Album

I think Eve6 may be the most underrated band of the 90s. It's a shame they aren't around anymore, as this, their last album, is every bit as catchy and fresh as their first 2. Check it out! April 12, 2006

Dissapointment after almost 7 years of fandom

I'm in college now and I first started liking Eve 6 in the 6th grade. I've been a huge fan because I could never get enough to of the band's energetic, kick back and jam music, nor enough of the tongue twist lyrics that make you laugh and go "haha, I love that line". These were the reasons I adore their self titled and Horrorscope albums. When It's all in your head came out, I was reluctant, but eventually got the CD only to know why I waited almost a year to buy it. The energy of the band feels absent in this cd, and the lyrics drone on without creativity or catchiness. In previous Eve 6 albums, every song pumped you up just in time to be brought back down by songs like "Jesus nitelight" or "heres to the night", but on It's all in your head, it's rare to find that pump up song, which is a complete shame. The album feels tired. There are positives though, some songs are great:

Good lives
Bring the night on
Think twice
At least we're dreaming

Unfortunetly...the rest of the album sucks. March 1, 2006

!!!

This album is totally stuck in my head at the moment! It's one of those album that you can just listen to and arn't temptd to skip to your favourite song, even the slow songs rock! February 21, 2006

Lyrical master

Sure, there was mention of Think Twice, but nobod said a word about the best song on the album, "Bring the Night On"; it truly illustrates Collins' extraordinary talent with words. He puts words together I never knew would work. He leaves me wondering "How did he do that?" I mean listen:
"Okay I'm boring you I'm warning you tonight
It's not the night for fights, lies, white or otherwise"

And believe me, the energy when they perform it live will blow you away. And they were just opening. I wish they were the headliner that night!
It's less poppy than Horrorscope, more refined than their self titled debut, and deeper than anything I've seen from them yet, not to say that their other CD's weren't as good in their own ways.

I haven't had anybody tell me they didn't like this CD yet; everybody I play it for loves it. You won't be sorry. December 14, 2005

The Album After the Dawn and Before the Dusk

Eve 6's first major hit, Inside Out, conjoured up images of an excited 15-year-old high-school guy who had just taken one too many Xanax- it gave you a feeling of excess energy complimented by inane, rose-tinted babbling. Horrorscope, though highly regarded by many Eve 6 fans, shows signs of the Billy Corgan slide into an equivocal mediocrity with hints of electonica (especially notable on Here's to the Night) that has lost its emotional flavor. Its All In Your Head has lost the extra Xanax of the first two albums in favor of a more defined, varied, and deeper emotional statement well-supported by intelligent lyrics and commendable musicianship, a statement that has been lost in Horrorscope, in favor of a more soma-induced please-all, which still contains the musicianship but lacks in the emotional and intelligent arenas.
