Album Description
Available in:
"We All Want the Same Things" is the third studio album by Craig Finn. It was released on Partisan Records on March 24, 2017.
The title comes from a line in the song "God in Chicago". Craig Finn said, "It seems like a bit of dark humor in these turbulent political times, but it also rings true: No matter our differences, we all have some very basic wants and needs that line up with each other."
At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 73% based on 19 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".
User Album Review
All along, Finn has honed a talent for vivid portrayals of people navigating through life, wrong turns and all. “She hung a sleeveless dress up on a sleeved-up lifestyle,” he barked on “Hostile, Mass.,” from the Hold Steady’s 2004 album Almost Killed Me, and it was clear what he was talking about. He’s grown into a subtler writer since then, and his lyrics have become increasingly empathetic, which gives uncommon depth to the people he’s singing about on Same Things. These characters aren’t scene-chasing kids popping amphetamines and slinking through house parties looking “to get touched and rub up against something plush,” as Finn hollered on “Stevie Nix” from the Hold Steady’s 2005 album Separation Sunday. He’s singing here about adults reconciling past decisions with their present circumstances.
There’s still no substitute for the adrenalizing power of the Hold Steady at its best, but the nuance of Finn’s solo songwriting, and the subtler sense of musical adventurism he has come to embrace on his own work, make these songs essential, too.
