Music reviews of Everything That Happens Will Happen Today
Music Review: More songs about making me bored
Rating: 2 Stars
It's apparent from reading the reviews here there are many who still find Byrne and Eno relevant the way I view old-timers like Neil Young and Bob Dylan, but I'm not one of them. This release does nothing to make me change my mind. Luckily, I got my copy from the local library (don't you just love socialism!) so I'm not out $$, plus I don't have to try to like it to justify my decision to purchase. Sure, there are some nice sounding songs, but I doubt very few people will find them compelling enough to listen to this cd more than a couple times before relegating it to "dust-bin" status along with later-day Costello, REM and Bruce CD's (and probably too many Neil, as well). Spend your money on something by Bonerama, Peter Case or Mississippi John Hurt, and discover something good that you probably haven't heard. "Everything That Happens..." won't offend you, but it will most likely bore you.
Description of Everything That Happens Will Happen Today
David Byrne and Brian Eno have paired up for their first record together as co-writers since the highly influential and critically acclaimed 1981 release My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. Everything That Happens Will Happen Today is the culmination of a year s worth of writing, recording, and travelbetween New York and London.
Everything That Happens... was conceptualized during a visit to Brian Eno s studio after the two reconnected
upon Nonesuch Records re-release of Bush of Ghosts. Byrne explains, ''I recall Brian mentioning that he
had a lot of largely instrumental tracks he d accumulated, and since, in his words, he hates writing words,
I suggested I have a go at writing some words, and tunes over a few of them, and we see what happens.''
Thus the two began exchanging vocal and instrumental tracks, and the transatlantic collaboration began.
Everything That Happens...features Byrne s lyrics and voice alongside Eno s various electronic tracks.
''When we started this work, we started to think we were making something like electronic gospel: a music where singing was the central event, but whose sonic landscapes were not the type normally associated
with that way of singing,'' says Eno. ''This thought tapped into my long love affair with gospel music, which,
curiously, was inadvertently initiated by David and the Talking Heads.''
