    Opening 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.

    The 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.

    The 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.

    Covering 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.

    Everyone, 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.
