    It's the earnest attempts... that linger beyond a knowing snicker. [24 Oct 2003, p.106]

    This may be the point at which even those well-disposed to the nice and the quirky start to note diminishing returns.

    Their rhythms jump all over the place and their vocals are so determined to land that punchline that it all ends up sounding like one smarmy mess.

    The DVD version gets a 10. The surround sound version sounds great (although you need a DVD-Audio player), but the real treat is the entire album performed live with acoustic instruments. The acoustic version better and more honest than the CD version.… Expand

    To be sure, there are a few great BNL songs here, 'Testing 1,2,3', 'Celebrity'. and 'For You' really stand out. But there are also some big clunkers here, the annoying 'Another Postcard' and the insipid 'Shopping'... and in the end this CD just can't measure up to their better work on 'Stunt' and 'Gordon'. What seems to be missing from 'Everything to Everyone' is the usual BNL feeling that you're listening to good music AND having a good time.… Expand

    I like lots of BNLs songs but this album sucked. With the exception of War on Drugs and maybe Take it Outside, I found the music grating. They are caricatures of themselves in song like Another Postcard (should be titled Chimpanzeeeeeee). That song sounds like it was written for a toddlers TV show. Yes the songs are catchy - cloyingly so. There is a point when silly, cute, and "fun" fall off the map and become awkward embarrassment. Alas, I was disappointed.… Expand
