The sophomore effort by these L.A. kids (RCA actually signed them while they were still in high school) is solid, melodic pop-punk, with hints of Material Issue, Green Day, and even Cheap Trick if you listen hard enough. It's saved from being just this side of generic by bassist/lead singer Jon Siegel's sharp, almost stream-of-consciousness lyrical wordplay, the likes of "Your heinous highness broke her hymen/hey man try to quit your cryin'," from the amusing attempted suicide song "On the Roof Again".

Besides this lyrical banter, HORRORSCOPE has some surprisingly imaginative arrangements, such as the gorgeous yet understated string section on the Police-ish "Here's to the Night," that sustain interest and point to an astute songcraft behind the pop hooks that bodes well for the futures of at least some of the members of Eve 6.
