Review
The brothers' first major songwriting collaboration on Woodface yielded an album full of gorgeous hooks and harmonies, that got better with every listen. And it had the added bonus of introducing me to the future Mrs. Mendoza (about 5 rows back at the Town and Country Club on November 9th 1991, fact fans).
From then on Mrs. M and I eagerly awaited each new Finn-related release, and lapped them all up ... It's only now that I've spent several weeks listening to Neil and Tim's first proper collaboration for 8 years that I realise that all those other albums since Woodface have left me at least a little bit disappointed.
Everyone is Here is not only the album many fans have wanted the Finns to make for the last 13 years ... it's also the best classic pop album you'll hear all year. I don't suppose that McFly or Busted will be losing any sleep about the Finns' singles chart prospects, but almost any of these songs could have been the lead single.
"Nothing Wrong with You" and "Edible Flowers" both start out downbeat and introspective and then seamlessly segue into almost euphoric choruses. "Homesick" and "Part of Me, Part Of You" are natural heirs to Woodface's "It's Only Natural."
Lyrically this album is more about family than anything they've written before; "Disembodied Voices" and "A Life Between Us" examine the brothers' own relationship as it is now and was 40 years ago.
Those of us who were lucky enough to be at the fan-club gig in Regents Park earlier this month saw that live as well as on record, these songs can stand proud next to 30 years of Finn classics. If only all crafted pop was this intelligent, this catchy, and just this good. --Miles Mendoza

Okay, 'Everyone is Here' is no 'Woodface', but that doesn't mean this album is any less than brilliant. Kicking off with the beatifully bitter-sweet 'Won't give in' the Brothers Finn don't disappoint, providing a collection of twelve cleverly-crafted songs, full of killer hooks, heartfelt harmonies and lyrics.
The album is wonderfully Beatle-esqe in places - 'All God's Children' being pure late-sixties Fab Four, so much so i could almost hear Lennon and McCartney in there amongst the fuzzy guitar.
From the haunting 'Edible Flowers' to the surprising 'Gentle Hum' one of my highligts has to be the instantly catchy 'Disembodied Voices' a tale of two kid brothers chatting in the dark, from their beds.
This album is a must for any Neil and Tim fans, an album, which, like most of the brothers work will gently unfold and flower inside your head with each listen. A companion for life.
Songwriting & Harmonies haven't sounded as good as this since Macca & Lennon.
It just has everything - Highs, Lows and bits that can only be the Finn brothers.
If you like music that is..., well, just music, (the way it should be) you have to own a copy of this album.
Thanks Chaps - you've made my iPod get goosebumps again!
