Unknown Contributor Roles: Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe; Brian Case; Cayce Key. The 90 Day Men, up through the release of their last proper full-length, the peculiarly titled (is (it) is) critical band, left critics and peers quite confused in the manner of attempting to define their sonic qualities with adjectives and references. To Everybody is the next installment in the 90 Day Men lineage, and if anyone had a certain expectation of what they might hear on this record, smear it out. You aren't going to get it. What you are going to get is a record, one that re-evaluates the entire embodiment of potential in sound, emphasizing a new, symphonic, and timeless framework. Initially, things seem somewhat like what they once were, as "I've Got Designs on You" begins with a gently meandering rhythm accented immediately with Rob Lowe's caterwauling, soon to be harmonized over with Case's newly subdued and more sung than spoken vocals. The second track follows suit, with percussive blips and piano chords leading into a driving, slightly dark amalgam of perfected sound on "Last Night, a DJ Saved My Life." "Saint Theresa in Ecstasy" is perhaps the most beautifully rendered track on the album, made up of an absolutely perfect rhythm, vocals of heavy breath, and sublimely layered darkness. It is understood now that this record is much more delicate and lush than things previous, but it only escalates further in. The second half of the record is where things become the most unusual for the 90 Day Men. The instrumental "We Blame Chicago" opens with orchestral piano chords to develop into perhaps the most upbeat creation the band has put together, complete with wah-wah, a driving piano-centered melody, and crisp, jazzy drumming. "Alligator" quietly erupts into a New Orleans-style dirge, meandering along a theme that often sounds similar to some elements of Radiohead, also including vocal breakdown that could easily have been on a Pink Floyd record. Yeah, things are different now. But the change, although initially unsettling, is quite compelling, provoking textures and complex melody into unusual formats, challenging the listener to move to a different level. Also important to note is the seamless production work of up-and-coming visionary/mastermind John Congleton, whose unusual and starkly clear handiwork helps to define To Everybody. In simplest terms, To Everybody is a meticulously formed masterpiece of timeless, moving resonance, a yawning, organic assemblage that haunts the attic. ~ Blake Butler

その1曲目でピシリと細かい亀裂が鼓膜に入る。90デイ・メン。シカゴ系なんて言ったら鼻で笑われるだろう。あえて言うなら銀河系フリースタイル。2作目となる本作では、さらに孤高の道を突き進むようでもあり、その佇まいは潔く、美しい。破裂気味のドラムに応え、ヴォーカルは高く低くシャウトする。しかし、なんといっても印象的なのはピアノの響き。鍵盤からしたたり落ちるフィーリングのフレッシュなこと! 〈ハードコアのスピリットを持ったサウンド志向のグループ〉なんていくらでもいるけれど、彼らを特別なものにしているのは、スピリチュアル・ジャズとダイレクトに共振するようなラウドなリリシズムだ。どのナンバーをとっても、細やかなサウンド・エフェクトの向こうには押さえきれない歌がある。まるでトータスにショットガンを撃ち込んだようなサウンドが、このシカゴの無法者たちにはふさわしい。
