The Exies - The Next Big Thing This album does sound a little different to both, the later efforts, 'Inertia' and 'Head For The Door', nor does it boast a number of stand-out tracks. I have all three of The Exies albums and this one is by far the least popular, not for good reason I might add. However, this album is far more consistent than the other two. There is not a song on the CD that I disliked and my favourites included 'Baby's Got A New Revelation', 'Big Head' and 'Ego Tryptophane'. I do feel as though this is The Exies album that has somewhat been lost in the shuffle. I tried to download it from the internet for a test play and found most of the songs unavailable. Meanwhile none of the songs can be trialled at The Exies website. It is really an album you just have to take a risk for and most listeners will be rewarded. In conclusion, if you want to listen to a consistently solid rock album or you are a fan of The Exies more recent work then this is a must for your collection. On the other hand, if you own this album I thoroughly advise also purchasing 'Inertia' and 'Head For The Door'. You will find The Exies continue to impress and improve. tiresome loops perhaps a repusion or brigther death now or merzbow cover would have lent some life to this release. the loops on this release are tiresome, and i never really get an opportunity to crawl out from the space bubble. there is no relief to be found here. No hearing aide, no justice, no peace. FABULOUS What a fantastic and innovative group of songs! It's a totally different sound than anyone's come out with in a long time. This is one of the best cd's I've heard in ages. Kind of alternative pop, not rock, but with a little funk thrown in for good measure. Straight Girl of the Universe is a great song! Love these guys and look forward to more!. "the exies" are well on their way! "1970+" is a great mellow song about lead singer Scott Stevens 1970's heroes, "Rocket Balloon" brings a 60's feel, and the records first single, "Baby's Got A New Revelation" will have you singing along and wanting more. I love this record! With its 11 songs plus 1 hidden bonus track, it has something for everyone. This 4-man band out of L. A. will go far with is solid drumming, bass, great song writing, and guitar that will leave you mesmerized. 1970 The entire CD in a gem. This ia an excellent example of well written and exquisitely performed original music. You can see a complete list of all The Exies discography, or go back to the The Exies tabs
