When I think of Exciter, the term "also ran" comes to mind. Their debut is pretty solid, albeit a bit crude & basic, but they seemed short on creativity more often than not. Beehler's vocal histrionics always bordered on monotonous & at times even grating. Oddly enough, I think the band peaked once Ricci was gone & McPhee stepped in. Though "Unveiling the Wicked" is considered their "jumping the shark" effort, I think it is far & away their most diverse & rifftastic release.
Once Beehler left & Ricci returned, the band just went to shit. I'll buy a beer for anyone who can stomach those dreadful 90's albums. Even the newest frontman just wrecks their sound.
