MaxMSep 17, 20085There was only one track that I liked and it is possibly the greatest song I've heard all year. If you buy most of you music off iTunes like me, just start with "Strange Overtones". I made the mistake of buying all the other worthless tracks.

B.P.Aug 27, 20089Gospel-tinged and warm, this album contains a lot of subtle pleasures, like the upbeat "Strange Overtones" and the joyous "One Fine Day." It's NOT "My Life In The Bush of Ghosts Vol. II" (not that there'd be anything wrong with that); this is something as unique as you'd expect coming from these two brilliant minds.

RobLSep 10, 20089"Home" only goes to prove that these two have been musical soulmates.

RadyF.Sep 1, 200810Frankly this cd made me remember why I loved talking heads .... the music is unbelivable - Eno is in top form and Davids singing and lyrics are very subtle and complex....it definately will grow on you.

HenryM.Sep 3, 20089Better than expected. A lot of great tunes like "Home", "My Big Nurse", "The River", "Wanted for Life" etc. It has a couple of songs that didn't have to be on, but overall is excellent. One of the favorite quotes from album: " When you close your eyes do you picture money? Than the change is mine." - Wanted for Life.

XaxSep 6, 20089It's a lovely album, so so honest and lacking any pretentiousness. The funny thing is that it sounds like a mix of early Eno pop (Warm Jets et al) with late Byrne's Talking Heads, and it works to me. Won't be a hallmark as Life in the Bush of Ghosts but will remain as another example of a good work by Eno. Everything this man touches becomes....good.

JImVDec 12, 20082Worse than a yawner -- a nightmare! Byrne populates tracks Eno didn't know what to do with, with long-distance whining and smarm. Most disappointing album of the year!

AdamAug 25, 20088Sounded kind of average the first lesson but it's growing on me each time I play it. Sounds most like Eno's last album (Another Day on Earth) but the lyrics are definitely more Byrne-esque.

80While Everything is firmly grounded in Eno and Byrne's previous work, their mutual commitment to musical exploration ensures the album rarely sounds like something we've heard before.

For those exhausted by a modern landscape, where playing a game of spot the musical reference is de rigueur when approaching every new release, Everything That Happens Will Happen Today is certainly a welcome relief.

A record on which electronics and a grown-up wistfulness meet in a charming, comfortable manner.
