Eve 6 became a sudden big thing in 1998 on the heels of the single “Inside Out”, a song with a flurry of strange images that sounded almost literary but were actually more on the juvenile side. The image of “my tender heart in a blender” may be one of the most disturbing in popular music, and when coupled with the question “Or am I origami/Folded up and just pretend”, well, this is what you get with Eve 6. This pop punk band from Southern California features a strong, tight sound, but also has the unrealized potential of frontman/lyricist Max Collins. Instrumentally, Eve 6 is as good as any of their contemporaries. But a dive into their lyrics can be pretty off putting. Collins seems to have a lot of issues, and while he’s good at explaining what those issues are, he seems to have no clue as to how to resolve any of them.

Outside of “Inside Out”, there isn’t really a lot to recommend here. Musically, this sounds like a lot of fun, but the subject matter squashes that pretty quickly. And there wasn’t a whole lot of growth from this point, either. Eve 6 made a couple more middling albums before calling it quits in 2004, and they’ve made one more since coming back. Unfortunately, Collins still hasn’t figured things out, and Eve 6 still sounds like a band that almost could have maybe been great. We’ll never know, because Collins as a writer never grew much. This debut album disappoints, and it’s really all of the Eve 6 you will ever need or really want to hear. This is not quite what Green Day or Bad Religion had in mind when they embarked on their journeys…there are definitely bands that make this kind of music that you will find to be much more satisfying.

Including "The Masterplan" is a good idea.
