Synopsis

Product Description

The first album with former Matthew Good Band guitarist Dave Genn has Canadian rock icons 54-40 invigorated with new blood. And Yes to Everything shows the band very comfortable in delivering well-crafted rock that also happens to be radio-friendly at the same time. This is very evident judging by the midtempo pop/rock of Easy to Love that has a certain swagger to it. Meanwhile, the straightforward punch of Can't Get Enough also seems to work with Genn and singer Neil Osborne working as tightly as the tandem of drummer Matt Johnson and bassist Brad Merritt. The quartet also manages to change things up with the bouncy and almost ska-tinged Golden Sun that could be covered at some point by No Doubt.

CD Reviews

Songs sounded better live than on CD

Jason Grace | Buffalo, NY USA | 09/18/2005

(2 out of 5 stars)

"Living in the Buffalo area, 54-40 has performed many times in what has become their home away from home, and they have consistently been a great and energetic live act to see. The last show that they played here was free, and they showcased more than a half-dozen songs off of their newest disc, all of which sounded great and made me anticipate hearing what I believed would be their strongest disc in years. For some reason, the studio versions of what sounded so promising live do not transcend well on disc. The CD itself is very straight-forward and rather "lost and lazy". There is certainly nothing new here, and many songs resemble past hits that were done way way better in their original form. Perhaps it takes a few listens to have it grow on you, but as it is now, I would have to say that there is not one song that holds a candle to previous 54-40 staples, like "Casual Viewing", "Since When", and "One Gun"."
