Negative Positive
Title: Smart Punk
Review: Though definitely leaning on the "pop" of the term "pop punk," Eve 6 is perhaps one of the wittiest and best-educated bands in rock & roll today. Deft-spoken linguist Max Collins steps fresh off of the success of the band's radio-friendly first release to produce an even greater collection of ear candy complete with Eve 6's patented tongue-twisting lyrical stylings. From the frank honesty and tongue-in-cheek wit of "Promise" to the nearly frantic urgency of "Enemy," the album unravels and keeps you listening close to the lyrics so the tunes can be as amusing as they are engrossing. While definitely not my general taste in music, Eve 6 is just one of those bands you can't help but listen to, and come away from feeling smarter for the time you spent.
