    Todo y que ha recibido malas críticas, desde mi punto de vista, es un álbum incomprendido. Si bien el concepto tiene algunos fallos, el mensaje del disco y las canciones, a mi parecer es muy bueno y aporta mucho más que muchsísimos otros discos.

    The hit song 1-800 was my introduction to logic and was a powerful well crafted song that i admittedly enjoyed for how minimal his inclusion was . He wasn't the center of that song but even so his preachy bars felt appropriate . Everything after that just doesn't resonate or sound good,there's a lot missing here

    This is a truly lifting and inspiring set of songs, which challenges inequality and difficult topics and is instrumentally and lyrically brilliant from start to finish.

    This is too long for Logic and he does talk more then rap., but my main issue is that Logic talks about being biracial throughout all the album and it is sooo annoying. The only highlight I see here is Take It Back. Even though he talks about being biracial in that song too it at least has a great verse. I love Logic, but this isn't anything I wanted to hear from him.

    There's a lot of good messages in here, so it's tough to hate on it. It's just so meh, though. Logic sounds watered down and redundant here. Some very good tracks like 1-800 are enough to give it a 5, but it's just overall a pretty forgettable listen.

    I wanted to love this album as I'm a big Logic fan, and whilst I do like it, it isn't his best work. The album title might be "Everybody" but it's mainly aimed at black Americans with a lot of songs being about black power and black is beautiful, which is fine, but harder to relate to as a white guy from the UK who's never been to America and doesn't know anything about oppression... withI wanted to love this album as I'm a big Logic fan, and whilst I do like it, it isn't his best work.

    The things that let this album down are dragged out "cut scenes" that end up delivering a bit of a cheesy cliche message. I commend Logic for trying to spread a positive message and wish more hip hop artists would do the same however I wasn't keen on the concept of this album and a 4-5 minute track of just conversation isn't what I want to hear on a hip hop album.

    Then there is the the final track, which is 12 minutes long because it repeats the same verse 3 or 4 times (lost count) and then has a skit of the astronauts from The Incredible True Story (which really undermines the concept/story of this album) before finally delivering a great verse from J. Cole - this song could've been 6-8 minutes but is dragged out for no apparent reason. I don't mind long songs if there is a point to them but there isn't here.

    Overall this is a decent album that would have benefited from shorter skits. I love concept albums and The Incredible True Story is one of my favourite examples of that however this time around Logic didn't quite hit the mark.    … Expand

    Logic spends too much time preaching his new found "peace, love, and positivity" slogan instead of incorporating it into unique music and using his fantastic ability to present multiple different flows in a single track. Do not get me wrong, there are some great tracks, but most of the album seems pandered to the media.

    Logic is biracial. That's basically all that came from this album and that 1-800 song. Logic repeats the same **** on most of the songs, which is basically him talking about how he's not ashamed to be black and even though there are a few good ideas that are using the Everybody concept there are few and far between.

I understand what he's trying to say and that the message is important, that doesn't cover the way it's delivered.

The last two albums, in whatever grade, achieved their purpose, this one does not. Instead of talking from everybody's perspective (a close to impossible task), Logic focuses on race (specifically his biracial origin) and touches on other subjects like LGBT issues. That's it. Not only he misses part of his goal, his forcefeeds whatever he offers so much people tend to ignore the point he was trying to convey. Let's hope his next album gives his career a second wind.… Expand

"Hallelujah" has utterly amazing music that blows me away, the beat and hook on "America" is killer and addictive, and "Mos Definitly" has amazing music. The chorus on "Confess" is fantastic in terms of production and musical quality. "1-800" has powerful music and lyrics, and "Anziety" and "Black" sound plain great. The music on Everybody just sounds plain amazing; painstakingly created and nearly perfect.

    Another big plus on Everybody is Logic's rapping. Logic raps (and occasionally sings) very well on this album and absolutely kills it on the title track and "Killing Spree."

    The lyrics on this album actually say something, and preach solid, meaningful messages for the most part. There are a few missteps, however, specifically on the songs "America" and the final song. "America" has some extremely false lyrics and claims about Trump and Bush, calling them horrible people and racists. The final song is annoyingly and frustratingly repetitive, but the ending is one of Everybody's best moments. The delivery and lyrics at the last minute and a half of the final song are incredible.

    Everybody is as finely-crafted and stunning as it's album cover, and even more impressive and enjoyable. Everybody is a musical masterpiece and actually has some real lyrics substance, but does have a few errors. Still, it's a great rap album. It's a 9.    … Expand

    Without no doubt, Logic has created his own sound, but still feels short on the actual message he wants to put out. There are notable songs on the album, but some feel out of place, other than that the Intro and Outro are among the best in the album.

    'Everybody' is a plain and try-to-be-purposeful album in Logic's discography. The album is just tasteless and the lyrics and production are horrendous. The only things that are unique about the album are just its beautiful cover art and its kind of disturbing concept/story.
    Strongest Track(s): "1-800-273-8255"
    Weakest Track(s): "Anziety"

This could have changed my opinion about the whole thing dramatically and I would have been comfortable giving this an 9 or maybe even a 10. But just changing the name isn't gonna do that for me. My only other issue with this album is on two tracks: Take It Back, and Anziety. On both of these Logic decides to monologue for a bit, rather than rapping. I wouldn't mind too much if it wasn't at least 2/3 of the song. For instance in Take It Back, the spoken monologue starts at roughly 1:59 and continues almost non interrupted for the rest of the song. I know that Logic could have worked everything he needed to say in a verse. He has done "deep" meaningful lyrics like the one I want in songs like Under Pressure. Overall I'm a huge Logic fan, and as a Logic fan I give this a 7/10. If Logic decided to go Life of Pablo on this and change stuff after the initial release then for sure this will be one of the best logic projects to date (maybe even on the same level of Under Pressure and Welcome to Forever), but until that day comes (if it ever does :/) then that is my final verdict.… Expand

    On everybody, logic seems to only brush the surface of the topics he is discussing on this album. Most of the album is only focused on racial injustice and I feel like this album is far from a proper representation of everybody. This album was, for me pure disappointment.

    Logic's Everybody has very catchy and unique beats, but the lyrics compared to all songs share the same exact message. I think Logic put barely any detailed work in any of the songs included in this decent album. The only two I personally enjoy are "Take it Back" and "1-800-273-8255", based on their deep message and the background beats. Overall, alright album.

    Logic puts forth a few notable songs that speak true, however, he ultimately does not display the creativity and longevity that he has the potential for. Themes such as his mixed race come up explicitly in every song and are not built upon, but instead he uses it to express a view of world civility that is just about preached by everyone else.

I know this dude is biracial, but he didn't have to go out of his way to make the most watered down black power anthem ever made, like I think he misses the **** point of being black and he's more obsessed with convinces his generally white fanbase that he's just as black as his cousin Keisha. Him saying **** a couple times on the album pissed me off, even if it wasn't in the context most other rappers do, he's trying to push an agenda more than anything. Anyways, the concept is pretty interesting but very poorly executed. Dragged out skits and instrumentals hurt this album badly. And the accusations of Logic seemingly (not purposely) drawing too much from his contemporaries liters the album as well, songs like "Everybody" not only follow Logic's own formula for rapping over the same type of generic, sampled rap beat, but mirroring Kendrick Lamar's "Alright", which got it's message across A LOT clearer. Logic's just a frustrating person to write about, and I'm guess I'm happy he selling a lot of albums, but I hate the way that his own fans have been championing him but I feel like they are starting to realize what's happened as well. This is not really apart of the review, but I just think Logic just made one of the biggest **** ups of his career. This is just a fact, his fanbase is mostly white kids, and he's championed by that fanbase because he's a (visibly) white guy. Making an album like this just doesn't work...it's just retarded in concept, why are you making an album that (if executed correctly) would be criticizing his very fanbase, or at least make them think more a little, BUT he knew he couldn't go full-on "black power" because he wants to bring "everybody" together, so he makes a couple half-assed bars about the empowerment of black people, without criticizing those keeping us in that position.

    Far from perfect but still better than most. I would say if you are not the intended audience for songs like Anziety, 1-800 etc. it can feel a little odd listening to it, and could be why some dislike those songs. However, if you relate to the topic the songs are very powerful. However, like Joey Bada$$, Logic celebrates his black heritage and culture, and points out issues but forgets toFar from perfect but still better than most. I would say if you are not the intended audience for songs like Anziety, 1-800 etc. it can feel a little odd listening to it, and could be why some dislike those songs. However, if you relate to the topic the songs are very powerful. However, like Joey Bada$$, Logic celebrates his black heritage and culture, and points out issues but forgets to come up with solutions or discuss it more in depth. The concept itself is grandiose and very mindbending, but Logic did not push it through as well. He could have developed the story more in my opinion, and made some of the dialogue a little less overt and more subtle to make it seem less "corny" or like you are being spoonfed. The Incredible True Story developed and told the story much more effectively, but that is besides the point. Logic should have taken up J. Cole's advice in "AfricAryan" and dropped the "black and white sh--", and included less about him, and more about others. We know his story, and bringing it up again is a little redundant.

    That being said, Logic puts in a lot more thought into his albums that most, and I commend him on his ambitions. Few are willing to take risks, and here he took a big risk, that depending on who you are, will be miscalculated or perfect.    … Expand

    This album starts out great, but throughout is kind of paced wrongly. For a hip hop album it is super slow and although all the songs are very good, some suffer from long drawn out parts such as Neil DeGrasse Tyson's part in AfricAryaN or to a lesser extent Killer Mikes part in Confess. I think Logic definitely has rap down to a science and it truly shows, some songs are perfectly pacedThis album starts out great, but throughout is kind of paced wrongly.

I think Logic definitely has rap down to a science and it truly shows, some songs are perfectly paced such as Everybody and Killing Spree. Also, the album could have done without Waiting Room and Ink Blot. Anyways, im a huge fan of the album, but it certainly is not perfect.… Expand

    Logic strives to create a top-notch project relating religion and race diversity, but he ends delivering us more like a work in progress, full of uncertainties and unfinished messages

    This album is good. It's not horrible or great, but it's solely in the middle. I dig the concept of the entire album, the skits with Neil DeGrasse Tyson are great and entertaining, and near the ending of the album you figure out in a sense that it's a continuation of the story from ****

    The production on this album is incredible. 6ix did an outstanding job, and easily is the best part of the album. A big reason I come back to this album is because of the incredible production, but there is moments where some parts are easily taken or "inspired" from other artists. A shining example is the bassline from "America" where it sound note for note like the bassline from Kanye West's "Fade".
    Logic is impressive in terms of flow and technique, but the fact he does his fast rapping all the time throughout this album really wears down near the end of the album. The lyrics are okay at best, and some are pretty thought provoking, but the fact that he CONSTANTLY reminds you about his biracial roots it feels like he's shoving it down your throat. It really takes away from the album, and easily the lyrics are the worst part of the project.
    I still like this album, personally if you want to listen to this album, listen more to the instrumentals more than the lyrics. Think of Logic's voice as another instrument. The beats are the main event here, and if you try to enjoy this album for the lyrics, you'll be a little disappointed.
    Let's hope Ultra 85, Logic's final album, is much, much better than this mixed bag. I'm only giving this a 7 and not a 6 or below because the production blew my mind away. It easily outshines Logic and makes him play second fiddle on this.    … Expand

    However he chooses to create his albums, both Logic's talent as an emcee and his insightfulness can't be denied.

    Hip Hop’s gatekeepers will say that timing and the repetitive nature of Logic’s lyrics hurts Everybody but for Logic’s younger core fan base, especially those going through struggles of their own, his latest work will be the catharsis to keep them from plunging off the deep end.

    In general, the album feels like a grab-bag of 'button issues', others' ideas, and content truly desperate to bear high-minded importance, but proves little more than Logic has clearly heard some Kendrick.
