This is Swell's most constricted, least dynamic album to date. All songs move along at almost exactly the same pace and there is less breadth to their vision both musically and emotionally.
-
MagnetThe one-man band does pretty well for himself in finding a place for his songs between sonic textures. [#51, p.117]
-
Other than the last three songs, Everybody Wants to Know is an album you should know about.
-
The album is often angular, odd, and unpredictable, but always contributing to a relaxed atmosphere.
-
Swell don't look set to make any grand leaps forward either in terms of success or creativity, but that doesn't devalue their potency a single jot.
