"I saw the Exies open for the Crue in Toronto in August. Although I dont think the album does them justice, they rock live, the album still kicks my a**. Well worth a listen. If your here because you heard ugly, beleive me the rest of the album is just as good or better."
Head for the Door

"I had heard "Ugly" a few times on Music Choice's rock channel, and thought it was pretty good. After buying "Head for the Door", I found out that "Ugly" was just one of a dozen great hard rock songs. Scott Stevens has an intense and raspy delivery that really suits these songs. "Head for the Door" is consistently harder and edgier than their previous effort, "Inertia". There's not a song on here that I skip, which is something for me, since I'm usually picky. My personal favorites are "Splinter", "Ugly", "What You Deserve", "Baptize Me", "My Opinion, "Dear Enemy", and "Tired of You". I realize that's over half the album, but that's how good the Exies are. I will say "Tired of You" sticks out a bit, as it's the only ballad-like song, but the strength of it makes up for the seeming-misplacement of it. The Exies are aiming for a follow-up album to hit shelves in September. Pick this up!"
