- 3.5 / 5

There's something to be said for innovation and evolution within a long-running band's work, but sometimes it goes too far, or goes awry. We all remember (and are still trying to forget) Neil Osborne's glammed-up eyeliner look and 54-40's overly slick sound of the late '90s. Thankfully, there's none of that here — Yes To Everything is a solid, energetic rock record with no filler or self-indulgent wanking. With the addition of ex-Matthew Good Band's Dave Genn co-writing and playing guitar, 54-40 sound like a band with a new lease on life. The result is songs that sound fresh while evoking the feel of old classics.
