Ever since the demise of New Zealand popsmiths Crowded House back in the late '90s, brothers Neil and Tim Finn have been content to plough their furrow far from pop's bustling farmstead. Everyone Is Here, the pair's second full-lengther, lacks the full production and grand, Beatlesesque melodic ambitions that saw songs like "Weather With You" and "Fall At Your Feet" become transatlantic radio hits--but it replaces such scope with a smudged, intimate acoustic style that suits Neil and Tim's songwriting talents almost as neatly. The album's finest moments are mostly placed towards the top end: "Luckiest Man Alive" is the sort of conscious rock gospel that Stereophonics' Kelly Jones would kill to be able to write, while "Anything Can Happen"--a billowing, U2-style epic of scintillating guitar and cavernous drum-crashes is seemingly placed to prove that not all is trad chez Finn. As an album, it probably won't spawn any MTV-hogging video classics--certainly, that was never the intention--but Finn fans in search of a mellow listen should find Everyone Is Here hits all the right buttons. --Louis Pattison

Great Songs from the Finn Brothers..........2007-07-25
What I found when doing this was that I could not leave off most of the track on this CD. All these songs here are good. Yes, many deal with family and focus on the brotherhood but they're also well written wonderful songs.
1.) Won't Give In: Is a great opener with thoughtful lyrics. Love it.
2.) Nothing Wrong With You: Great!
3.) Anything Could Happen: Wonderful...could have been the opening track.
4.) Luckiest Man Alive: Stripped Down, Simple and Honest. Great!
5.) Homesick: Love it.
6.) Disembodied Voices: This one and the next song examine their brotherhood. Both are wonderful.
7.) A Life Between Us: See Above
8. All God's Children: Great Rocker! Sounds like it was recorded live.
9.) Edible Flowers: Loved it when it premiered on the 7 Worlds CD/DVD and love it more here all fleshed out with strings.
10.) All The Colours: Great!
11.) Part Of You Part Of Me: Another great rocker.
12.) Gentle Hum: Nice ender...beautiful.
All in all...A VERY satisfying CD for me. Like all Crowded House and Neil Finn CD's it's well worth picking up.
Disembodied Voices.......2007-04-21
'Everyone Is Here' is not a Crowded House disk. Nor is it a Split Enz record. Heck, it's not even the same as their last disk together, 'Finn Brothers'. For those unfamiliar, both Finns were in Split Enz and appeared together on one Crowded House disk.
Personally, I am a fan of Tim Finn's, and he is clearly the winner in this outing. He gets to play off his more popular, more accomplished younger brother, Neil. Tim does not posses as keen a knack for the popular song and his voice is not as polished. So his songs, like "Luckiest Man Alive" get a good, probably better, recording than they would have on a solo outing.
Neil does good with his main songs also. It's no surprise "Won't Give In" and "Nothing Wrong With You" lead off the disk. They are seemingly the strongest, but the more you listen to the rest of the disk, there is some really good stuff out there. It just takes a few listens.
I'm really liking "A Life Between Us". The lyric provides a river as a metaphor as a relationship. That has been done a lot in music, and usually it is about flow. But the words here take a new stab at it and succeeds: "we stare at each other/like the banks of a river/and we can't get any closer/but we form a life between us". The melody helps.
And though the Finn boys are from New Zealand, the song "Homesick" is a perfect metaphor for America and the politics of the day - 3 years ago and even today. "First you made me hungry/then you feed me something I don't want/...then when I complain/I get thrown out of the restaurant" and "Homesick for the country that I'm living in". I can relate.
Technically they don't have the best harmony (i.e. "Disembodied Voices"), but it seems but it really work. And yeah, there are some clunkers, but I am really enjoying the disk and sorry it took me so long to find it, even though I had it the entire time.
It's slow parade down a dusty road.......2007-04-02
I certainly have enjoyed this CD for awhile now, but I kept waiting for the moment when Neil and Tim would cut loose with something with a bit more bite to it. "Anything Can Happen" is the most uptempo thing here, while most of the rest of "Everyone Is Here" sticks to simple arrangements and acoustic settings. It fits the brothers quite well and makes this CD a pleasant experience. But I am not used to pleasant from a pair of men that have often delivered brilliance.
If you are willing to settle of Tim and Neil delivering gentle ruminations on relationships and family, then this will please you. And there are some excellent, melodic tunes to be had here (my favorite songs are "Nothing Wrong With You" and "Disembodied Voices") with some great Beatles leanings, but I kept waiting for more. As a result, I maintain my rating of the CD with three stars; competent and average, and certainly worth a listen.
The Finn Bros, sophomore album debut.......2006-10-02
In saying the above, I did enjoy this album immensely. The Fin Brothers are definitely talented and have a firm rock sound frame to their groove. All the songs have a different sound to them and show the unique skill of Neil and Tim's vocals as they were both singers on this album. This album was balanced and had a good listening quality to it. My other favourite songs from this decent album were 'Disembodied Voices', 'All God's Children' and 'Edible Flowers' which was the quietest song on this album with a malancholy feel to it.
'Part of Me, Part of You' has been played alot on Sydney radio and deservedly so with a nice lyrical message and a feel good beat. The album ends with a sombre mood in 'Gentle Hum' that sounds like your in the Southern USA.
Overall this album for me was enjoyable and a pleasure to listen. The Finn Bros are easy to listen to and rock to or sing along to. For any serious rock fan out there - add this album to your collection.
It sounds So-o-o Good!.......2006-07-22

A Musician of Great Dignity and Style.......2005-07-27
English is a difficult language to make musical, though saying that abruptly is countered by the fact that some of the most beautiful operas in history are by Benjamin Britten, a composer who truly understood his native tongue and kept it as fluid as the soaring melodies he wrote, as Thomas Allen proves here in 'Billy in the Darbies' from Britten's 'Billy Budd'. It is the other major arias from Korngold to Wagner to Tchaikovsky to Rossini, Bizet, Mozart, Gounod, Verdi, Thomas, Strauss, and Lehar that Allen proves that English translations do not detract at all from the performances!
For those purists who prefer opera sung in the original language (and for those who don't even need supertitles in the opera house!), then this recording may provide a temporary barrier to respecting Allen's singing. But once caught up in the ease with which he moves from style to style and comedy to drama, it is hard not to relinquish old preferences and not be wholly impressed with the beauty of the voice and the warmth and dignity of this fine musician. Highly recommended. Grady Harp, July 05
