REVIEWS:

    “… 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.”

    Vitaly Menshikov

    Progressor (Uzbekistan)

    “Chops, melody and atmosphere in a winning formula … lots of instrumental interplay, and tons of melody. Filled with
    humorous yet dramatic lyrics and classy instrumentation … a very enjoyable album.”

    Pete Pardo

    Sea of Tranquility (U.S.A.)

    “… brilliant, inspired … material that is both heartfelt and wise.”
    (taken from a review of the original 2002 demo versions of many of the songs)

    Jean-Pierre Lhoir

    Music in Belgium (Belgium)

     “… beautiful electric guitar … flashy synthesizer flights, powerful vocals, dynamic interplay and many shifting moods.”

    "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.  … "

    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 …”

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

    Mark Hughes

    Dutch Progressive Rock Page (Holland)

     “ … 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.”

    "… 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. "

    Sean McFee

    Exposι Magazine (U.S.A.)

    Issue #33

    “… 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.”

    "The truth is that they have surprised me this band called Thirteen of Everything with a symphonic progressive rock classic,
    that although conventional or traditional has many sparkles of originality and of good instrumental execution. "
