With Everything's Alright Forever, England's Boo Radleys meld their psychedelic guitar sound with oblique pop melodies and dense studio accouterments. Featuring the introspective songwriting of guitarist Martin Carr, the Radleys' mercurial sound shifts through a variety of styles. From the stately flügelhorn on "Spaniard" to the jazzy pop moments of "I Feel Nothing," the group displays a powerful sense of dynamics that puts it in the same class as Manchester shoegazers like the Charlatans UK or the Stone Roses. On "Room at the Top," the band emits a scorching wall of feedback over a strangely muted vocal chant. While not exactly the premier psychedelic ensemble to emerge from England during the early '90s, the Boo Radleys definitely made their mark with this release. --Mitch Myers

The Boos at their noisy best! July 26, 2005
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
The Boo Radleys have always been a much under-rated band and that record is usually considered as second fiddle in the Boo's catalog even amomg true fans of the band. What a shame!
For me, it ranks among the best noisy-pop albums of the 90s.
It's mind-blowing; Forget about Giant Steps or Kingsize - here the Boos master their wall-of-sound better than ever.
one of the greatest ablums of all time... July 10, 1999
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
for all the shoegazers of the world, ones who love slowdive, my bloody valentine and more, if you haven't heard everything is alright forever and are detoured because of the obvious implications of "rip off", you are dead wrong. yes, the boo's do tend to take on the shoegazing in full effect...but, esp on this ablum, their style is brilliant and all their own. i prefer this ablum even over "loveless" for the mere fact that these songs are crafted perfectly, in dreamy bliss fashion...a sheer masterpiece...the trumpets in the first song alone tell you this loudly..this ablum will expand your mind along with your appreciation for the greatest style of music ever created. and if you can try and find the album "learning to walk" too! it's rare but it's noise lover's dream bye buy by bi
Lovely Masterpiece A Shining Example of Shoegazer Period April 16, 1999
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Back in '91-'92, what I consider to be the golden age of ethereal shoe gazing bands, was in progress. You had bands like The Drop Nineteens, Spiritualized, Medicine, Lush, Cocteau Twins, Swallow, My Bloody Valentine(without a doubt the best of the bunch), Slowdive, Ride, and then, of course, you had the Boo Radleys. While it is a shameless knockoff of the "shoe gazing" sonic distortion pioneered by My Bloody Valentine, this stands on its own as a beautiful, under-appreciated collection of haunting melodies.Some of the songs are so gorgeous that they have the effect of putting me in a trance. If you want to experience the best of that now long gone period, check this CD out. You'll thank me afterwards.
An ambient masterpiece February 23, 1999
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
Frankly, it took me a few listenings to get into this. The first time I thought the vocals were mixed way too low, and it was just long ambient chords of noise, but after awhile its hypnotic effect got to me, and now it's one of my favorite albums. It's much less bouncy than other Boo Radley albums, but these guys certainly know how to set moods with tape recorders. If you're looking for something to listen to in a cheap but sunny apartment on an endless weekday afternoon, and you're full of the entire world but also nothing whatsoever, this is the ideal hour to spend.
better than loveless March 20, 2005

This album is awesome. It takes the shoegaze guitars and adds pop hooks along with just guitar feedback much like mbv. I enjoy it much better than any other album from this genere or shoegaze era. Listen to "Lazy day" and tell me that isn't brilliant.
