Jun 2, 2026Opening track 'sideways' is connective tissue, re-energising the Lana-assisted, Blue Nile tincture of 2024's Alma Mater with its stalking alto sax, while beatnik anthem 'the van' trades in Antonoff’s usual emphatic abstracts. The overstated prophetic bent will irritate some, but proves a worthy rhetorical jaunt.

May 27, 2026The right word to describe ‘everyone for ten minutes’ is ‘crafted’. .... It’s not perfect, but it’s a love-letter, a mission statement, and a display of the magic that can happen when people come together to write songs.
-
May 22, 2026The ever-present -- and ever-changing -- blend of grief and joy within Bleachers' music is always heartfelt, but it's rarely sounded as rousingly real as it does on Everyone for Ten Minutes.
-
May 22, 2026Covering everything from devotion and marriage to grief and death, with instruments ranging from electric guitars to glockenspiels, ‘everyone for ten minutes’ is a bold creation – equal parts solemn and uplifting.
-
Jun 4, 2026Everyone, for ten minutes, may lack the technical verve of previous Bleachers albums, but it proves its creator can observe today’s controversies without forgetting what came before.
-
Jun 1, 2026Hemmed in by a cluttered mix and NIMBYish paranoia, this album will test even a loyal fan’s investment in its creator.
-
May 22, 2026His most ambitious and unrestrained work to date, yet the record is still frustratingly unable to fully shake off some of its most formulaic impulses.

May 27, 2026If you’re a Bleachers fan, then there will certainly be a handful of songs worth taking away from this. And if you hated 2024’s Bleachers like I did, you too will find solace in the fact that this is an immediate upgrade. Big picture, on the other hand, I’m just not sure where Antonoff goes from here.

May 22, 2026Ultimately, Everyone For Ten Minutes doesn’t do enough to differentiate itself from the band’s previous outings. Despite some lovely, refreshing variations sprinkled throughout – like the atmospheric slow burn of opener “Sideways” – this is largely the sound of Antonoff planted firmly in his comfort zone.
