.....and he can't stop laughing.......2004-11-11

Shiner has defied labels with The Egg, hinting to influences as broad in spectrum as The Pixies, Fugazi, and Jawbox, to Stone Temple Pilots, Tool, and Failure. Make no mistake, this is heavy music, but delivered with an intellegence and precision that is rarely seen. Produced by Matt Talbot from Hum, The Egg is a likely candidate for best sounding album of all time. Standout tracks include The Truth About Cows, Surgery, and The Egg. Check out The Life and Times to se What singer Alan Eply, along with John from Someday I, is doing now. You won't be sorry.

It grew on me.......2004-09-16

When I first got this album, I liked it but I was a little dissapointed. The more I listened to it the more I adapted to Shiner's unique sound. This isn't for everyone, but I think they were a great and original band. The lyrics are awesome, the guitars, drums, bass, everything works together here. They should have been bigger than they were. My favorite song here is "Pills", you will get it stuck in your head beleive me.

Soiled my rock pants.......2004-03-06

What an amazing release from a talented band! They took the songwriting from Luna and matched it with the production value of Starless and put them together in a brilliant package. They mix melodic undertones with odd time rhythms. Great album for long distance driving, or office work. I always say this is what grunge should have been. The band called it quits soon after its release. Also check out The Life and the Times and Year Of The Rabbit.

This is a re-review of this album. THE EGG is the kind of CD you must listen to numerous times to let the coolness of it saturate your soul. SHINER is a great band that rocks. My previous review stated that they were okay and this disc was just average. After listening a few more times I've come to the conclusion that the CD and the band are really creative. THE EGG has excellent drumming, great guitar and bass, and Allen Eply's voice seems to make it's way into your head with it's smooth catchiness. I will surely check out the other releases in SHINER's arsenal now that I've discovered what I was missing in the first few listens. Maybe SHINER is so good my brain got a little scrambled by THE EGG.

Why is this record absolutely brilliant? If you have to ask, you'll probably never know. Better to just find out for yourself lest lesser music fans beat you to the punch.
