  1. While Everyone Is Here lacks the brightness of much of Woodface, it's the Finn Brothers' strongest collection of songs since that masterpiece, and arguably their most emotionally resonant album to date.
  2. Fans of Travis and Coldplay will certainly find much to treasure in the soaring harmonies, soft strings and heartfelt sentiments.
  3. Like many a Crowded House release, this new Finn Brothers album gains resonance with repeated listens, revealing subtle charms and musical accents over time.
  4. A collection of perfectly polished songs, beneath whose placid surfaces lurk all manner of questions, doubts and insights.
  5. More than 40 years of combined experience results in an album that works well as music for the road or for a party thrown by discriminating baby boomers.
  6. As an album, it probably won't spawn any MTV-hogging video classics--certainly, that was never the intention--but Finn fans in search of a mellow listen should find Everyone Is Here hits all the right buttons.
  7. Everyone Is Here bounces from one impeccably tuneful pop song to another.
  8. Nothing has really changed at all.

    Despite the air of contemplation, there's plenty of energy. [Sep 2004, p.98]

    On Everyone Is Here, you'll find some of the most haunting music to bear the Finn imprint. [Sep 2004, p.95]
  11. The Finns' latest is glossy, emotional, and sure to satisfy longtime listeners-- as well as any Stereophonics or Aqualung fans paying their respects.

    A Life Between Us is one of the most stunningly beautiful, emotionally mature songs I've ever heard in my life.

    I'd give it 9.5, but it doesn't excist. It's great album, beatifull songs, in Finn's style. Some of the most beatifull I'd give it 9.5, but it doesn't excist. It's great album, beatifull songs, in Finn's style. Some of the most beatifull words ever you can find here:"Cause everyone I love is here, just say it and disseaper..." or "first you make me hungry, then you feed me something I don't want.." and so many,many more....Someone said everything when he said: " This is an album which you listen with your eyes closed."
