Olga Svenselts I know I'm late but rewatching again. really wish he'd touched more on the lyrics which are like you said really dark

[@MCVessels]

Now now. Not murdering, just trepanning. Also, living in Britain I can say that this album sounds like a soundtrack to 2017.

[@themittenkitten_wastakenfromme]

@@MCVessels no he killed the queen. Trepanning kills the victim.

[@Jakeyisdead]

I really love this album on my first listen though I didn't know what they were going for but when i heard the lyric "im going yo kill a stranger" with the piano notes after it making it sound that much more sinister I started to get it and really fall in love with this album as a whole

[@agbrenv]

@@Kay-vr4ft it's "bad" compared to the rest of the song and album overall it's basically a 5.5-6/10 on an album with mostly 8-9-10/10 songs but yeah, being shorter would have definitely made it better

[@trevor245]

@@agbrenv The wheel is probably one of my favourite EE songs and EE is probably my favourite band so funny how that works. I have grown to love the droning almost ambient outro for the wheel. I just love that song so much.

[@christofferthormannjensen3371]

The lyrics of No Reptiles are so good. The line you mention with "a fat child in a pushchair" is amazing in my opinion. I absolutely love Everything Everything. The song Duet from Arc is one of my favourite songs.

[@miguelsimoes5883]

Hum. Don't give up on this album, Anthony. The sad lyrics you mention are not just sad. This is probably, for my ears, the most heart-wrenching pop album i heard since ages. That "fat kid in a push chair" verse alone made me cry more than once. It's an album about having access to all this information about how much the big wigs are screwing us over and the rage that comes with it, but knowing in your heart that there is an actual limit to what you can actually do about it. I'm portuguese so i understand this completely, the greeks must understand it pretty well too. Give it another listen, with focus on the lyrics, tell us about it. Thank you for everything! (everything)

[@Guidonator181]

No Reptiles is definitely one of the best songs I've ever heard.

[@caleblee6831]

Literally my favourite album, when you listen to it a few times it gets better and better and you get used to the slightly shrill vocals and the unusual songs. They actually become some of the highlights of the album

[@brodftw]

Have you ever checked out their debut album, Man Alive? Easily their best IMO, and probably my favourite album of 2010. The yelping, zany falsetto was definitely already there but not as prominent on that record, and I think most of their best tunes are on there too. Schoolin (one of my favourite choruses ever), Final Form, Two For Nero, Come Alive Diana and Weights are all brilliant, several other tracks are almost as good.

[@conormorton2563]

Really enjoyed this review, The lyrics are one of the things I also personally find interesting about everything everything. Find it really fascinating how the lyricist takes simple ideas, and then elongates the concept into a full song by writing from different perspectives. Good use of metaphors and some unusual words thrown in occasionally as well.

[@derekcasey9715]

Antny! You reviewed it! Had me worried there! So underappreciated, this band. Thanks for repping the indie scene and giving some love like you do so well. Strong contender for album of the year in my mind. Probably not a popular opinion. Solid review, Fantano!

[@Thedeanoeverton]

As a giant Everything everything fan I would have loved to hear your thoughts on the tracks from the deluxe edition, there's some real bangers on it. If you ever do a revisit then a mention to those tracks would be much appreciated

[@Segab]

I personally didn't like them. They were uninteresting and felt like scraps from the album, which they probably were. They would've dragged down the whole album if they were included in the middle of the album.

[@Thedeanoeverton]

Depends on how you're looking at it. I agree that there probably were no places in the album where they could be slipped in but as singles, I feel like Happsberg lip in particular might even be one of the best from the album

[@mattjarvie6443]

This is an incredible album with such a diverse range of styles. These guys also have an incredible sense of melody and rhythm which seems to propel the music, which at times can sound a bit cheesy, yet it all seems to work as a whole. This just may turn out to be one of my top five albums from 2015. I have only listened to this album a few times since first hearing it yesterday, but it seems like one of those albums that has a lot to offer, and rewards with repeat listens. I am very impressed to say the least, and I highly recommend this album to anyone with a penchant for music that is eclectic but very much melodic and thoroughly enjoyable at once. This music almost reminds me of a modern-day XTC, and has a similar quirky pop sensibility about it.

[@SamOwenI]

Matt Jarvie yep. If you like XTC, I think you may also like two other British band's new albums this year, Outfit and Dutch Uncles.

[@mastersoftoday]

I was feeling more of a 9-10 but an 8 is ok too! Thanks!

[@mattmat74]

Is it just me or does it seem like half the time his least favorite tracks is one of my personal favs

[@RMarsupial]

Man I loved this album when I first heard and it's only grown on me more. I love The Wheel, even if the ending is a little overlong - the lyrics are so amazing and I just love the development of the song. Also, Warm Healer is really one of my biggest disappointments at first, but now I bloody love it. The bass groove of the verses and the DRUMS in the chorus along with the AMAZING melody - I just love how chill and beautiful the track is.

[@gabrielcastro6361]

Thanks, Fantano. This was the review that put me onto this band and I can't thank you enough for it. Been listening to EE ever since.

[@alexspeed8358]

When i first heard this album I’m pretty sure I didn’t like it, after second listen it magically did a 180 and i found so much to like and even love. I’ve returned to this album again and again for the past 3 years and every time im blown away from the none stop bangers on it. Every song has something great going for it, the contrast in instrumentation, production and vocals are incredible. This is one of my all time favourite albums, its a low key masterpiece. Everyone should listen to this album.

[@MRARTUROCASTANEDA]

[@codyallen43]

[@gregmcloughlin7252]

I remember seeing these guys a few years back in Dublin, Ireland and it was the only show I've ever been to where the crowd cheered really really loud for a solid 3 minutes after the 3rd or 4th song and the band just stared back in amazement with huge smiles on their faces. Great band.

[@hennerz93]

I can't stop listening to this album. it's the first album in a while that I seem to like every single song!! I think you should read into the lyrics more because there are some dark themes juxtaposing the instrumental but I think the effect would be better once you actually get to grips with what the meaning behind the song is because it's quite powerful, and a very intriguing commentary on current society as well as current issues happening mostly in the UK

[@morningowl43]

[@inafridge8573]

Warm Healer doesn't work all that well as an ending but taken out of the context of the album it has sometimes been my favorite cut

[@shanehagan]

i like this guy's reviews.. always spot on, descriptive, and fair.

[@azrielackerman4659]

Straight 10 for me tbf

[@grayfox622]

Been listening to this album and I'm loving it. Get a real feel of some tune-yards eclecticism and Battles' spastic guitar play, but the more immediate feel to the album reminds me of Bastille's most recent release. Also, I the vocals on the track Regret kind of reminds me of The Police.

[@JohnGottschalk]

Haven't listened to any Everything Everything since their album Man Alive in 2010, but I liked that one a lot, wacky, but super catchy and dancy in an almost math-popy kinda way.

[@jjkeyboards]

Fair review, even if I disagree with your praise of 'Distant Past' and 'Regret', as well as you referring to 'The Wheel (Is Turning Now' and 'Fortune 500' as a ''lull' - those two are personal favourites. The band manage to encapsulate a more sinister theme and present it in a catchy way with the groovy rhythm or bouncy percussion respectively and, at times, perhaps even lighthearted and optimistic with the brilliant use of high vocals. And yes, The King of Limbs is a fantastic album

[@politure]

***** And it probably makes more sense to people (mostly Brits) aware of its meaning, pertaining to politics, Nigel Farage and UKIP

[@thebunker1618]

My two favorite tracks The Wheel, and Warm Healer are his least favorite. I'm not surprised. Easily one of the best albums in the last 30 years!

[@xspirixx]

They both used to be my least favourite until after multiple years listening they are now probably my most favourite, weird how songs can get so much better the more you listen to them

[@sammy_]

I really enjoyed The Wheel, and Warm Healer which you kinda sped over (and Brainchild which was on the deluxe edition for some reason) but I respect your opinions!

[@megaslush9629]

I random found this album like half a year ago and bought one of the last copies B&N had the next day. I love this album and after discovering you channel hoped you would have reviewed it. I was not disappointed. Nor was I disappointed with the review itself. Thanks for giving this great album some much deserved love and attention!!!

[@FredGumbo1]

Anthony - that is one sizeable nutshell - I am in love with your reviews, I think you should review 1. a trip to an art gallery, 2. a meal at a good restaurant and 3. rumpy pumpy with your favourite person - there would be some awesome uses of the words - 'flagrant', 'soprano' and 'colourful passages'... and phrases such as, 'this burger is not for everyone', or maybe 'ending with a full horn concerto!'

[@Aoaowizard]

First time I listened to 'To the blade' I had the shock of my LIFE. But I loved it. I've loved the songs ever since

Interestingly my favorite song from their album was We Sleep In Paris from the deluxe edition extra songs which they refereed to as the "few bad songs included just because we can. But needless to say, I loved every bit of this album. Very rarely do I find myself loving all of the songs on an album and this was one of the few rare exceptions. Looking forward to their new stuff.

I found this album due to the Spotify Weekly stuff, where "Blast Doors" was recommended to me. Still my favourite song on the album and the entire album is one of my favourites! I do see the criticism of some of the songs, not all of them are perfect. I was just a bit disappointed in the rest of Everything Everything's discography.

You should check out their new single Bad Friday that was just released last week. I think it’s a return to something better. I’m hopeful about their new album.

[@Pp-vo2ur]

i loves this album. super energetic production. great vocals, catchy hooks, and great political lyrics (though can’t really do it justice as I don’t live in the UK.) plus, listening to the deluxe edition, with 6 extra songs , is definitely worth it.

[@AlexSmith-om6fp]

Hi Anthony. Another great review by the way, and you seem to appreciate the musical complexity on this record, but as a big fan of the band, I can't help but feel that you bypass the lyrical depth somewhat, and where the meanings of the songs were coming from. Higgs' written lyrics on all three EE albums tell a fascinating story of modern life, and I think that should be commended. None the less, thank you for your reviews, you've opened my eyes and ears to a bunch of new stuff 👍🏼

this album is aging like a good wine, it's 2024 and it still spots on on my daily playlist. A "smart" (don't want to call it "prog") album, with a lot of nice hooks, yet still sophisticated and refreshing. One of my AOTY 2015.

[@internetgoblinuwu2002]

nice review and very happy to see you review this record. This is a rare case I think I feel pretty similarly about an album to you. Although i don't have issue with the falsetto vocals at all really. The 1st 6 tracks are really strong, and it seems to be a pretty good grower album...also I'm pretty jealous of your vinyl copy of Mirrored.

[@angelcakeart]

I know, commenting on this video very late but I only recently got into the album. I'd have to say blast doors is my favorite since it's the first I listened to and the chorus is beautiful. But regret and brainchild are close seconds, very good.
