"Welcome, Humans"

released on Musea Records, May 2005

“… diverse, complex and beautiful … unexpected twists and turns … the album has made a very positive impression upon me. It's diverse, profound, devoid of commercial matter and is interesting throughout.”

Ian Fairholm's Best  Albums of 2005 (ranked #17 of 40)

“… this debut indicates that Thirteen of Everything have an extremely bright future ahead of them.  … the album is full of variety, complexity and lots of interesting changes in tone, dynamics and style. ...  The performances are tight and clearly all four musicians know what they're doing, … originality of sound, strong songs, excellent musicianship … With 'Late For Dinner' Thirteen of Everything have surely produced one of the best multi-part progressive rock numbers of the last decade. … It makes for a fantastic conclusion to a strong album …”

"This Texas quartet raises the neo-progressive bar to lofty heights with this exceptional disc that delivers in spades on the promise of their five-song E.P. demo. This is lush symphonic rock delivered with the skill and chutzpah of the '70s elder statesmen.  Adventurous ideas are realized through intelligent compositions rife with sharp instrumental prowess. Alternate stinging or weeping guitar drenched in sustain, backed by an assortment of keys, punctuate these modern styled melodies. The vocals are clean, smooth and crisp with tight harmonies … Richly textured acoustic guitar interludes and some softer, almost ambient pieces assist in the constant shifting of moods."

“ ... a beautiful album.”

"one of those albums that I keep returning to"

“This is one of those albums that I keep returning to and I hear new things each listen. …  I would without any doubt, recommended this to fans of (Echolyn, Underground Railroad, Spock’s Beard, Genesis) as well as classic and modern symphonic progressive rock. There’s also an element not found much in modern progressive rock, a sense of humor and quirky fun.”

"much more interesting than most of the prog-by-numbers we are asked to digest these days"

"… sonic signposts as various as the Flower Kings, XTC, and Echolyn, but also more than a dollop of brooding guitar-led atmospheres the way Floyd used to get it done. The song formats are anything but obvious ... to keep the listener on their toes.  It’s much more interesting than most of the prog-by-numbers we are asked to digest these days. … deserves to be noticed in the symphonic prog community. "

"admirable consistency within the music and the album flows well"

”There is an admirable consistency within the music and the album flows well with sufficient variety to maintain interest throughout.”

"poised to join the popular contingent of prog”

“ … they should draw many new fans indeed. Tying together the quirky pop of XTC and some 80’s crossover rock, laid on the foundation of the complexity of Gentle Giant, Genesis and Yes, and loads and loads of melody, these guys are poised to join the popular contingent of prog.”

"really exciting" ... "beautiful and harmonic"

“… symphonic, tight and very professional. … the music is really exciting.  … complex and strange but still containing beautiful and harmonic chords and progressions. … the centerpiece of the album is the last half, a 26-minute epic…"Late for Dinner"…with themes about an alien takeover involving ... uh ... eating. I'm not sure who's eating who, but I think the aliens are coming out ahead of the game. You have to hear it to believe it.  ... I hope these guys are around for a long time.”
