A Strong Showing

"I first saw Everything perform almost ten years ago at a small bar in Norfolk, VA called Lewis's. I enjoyed the sound tremendously, and managed to catch them two or three more times before I moved out of the area. Then I forgot about them.Fast forward until last year, when I stumble across this album in the bins of Tower Records in New York City. I put it in my CD player, and I realize again what a talented bunch of guys they are. Catchy tunes and skilled musicianship combine in original ways, creating fun and danceable songs. Highlights include "Be Gone," "Super Natural" and "Hooch." I like they way they draw in diverse musical styles, including jazz, funk, calypso and even zydeco, without turning the album into the unfocused mess it could have been. This CD isn't perfect. Some of the lyrics are simplistic and forced (e.g., "Good Thing"), and some of the songs are just lightweight filler. But overall, it's a very stong showing and a worthy addition to any music collection."

Love it love it love it

"If you've ever heard everything, you know that this cd was an exciting thing for them. Yes, it's a bit overproduced, but you have to be excited for the guys. From the cutesy song of Ladybug to Time Will Heal Me, you'll want to jam, dance, drive, or party with this CD. If you liked it as much as I did, go buy an older CD like Labrador or Solid...hear earlier versions of some of the stuff! They're a great band that's survived for years playing in holes like those on the Eastern Shore in Dewey Beach. And for those of you who have never seen them live - GO TO A LIVE SHOW! The energy is amazing, the fans are so much fun, and the music is better than you can imagine!"

Everything's not too much

"Jam-friendly band touts instrumental eclecticism but falls too often into pop pratfall, nestled somewhere mildly noticeable between Mraz and Matthews on a quality scale."
