Everything You Want
Everything You Want is the third studio album by Vertical Horizon, and the first major label effort with RCA Records. It was released in 1999. The first four tracks of the album were all released as singles. "Everything You Want" became one of the most played singles of 2000, reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. "You're a God" was also very popular, if not quite as much as "Everything You Want". These two singles had popular music videos made for them; the video for "You're a God" featured actress Tiffani-Amber Thiessen. The album also served as the debut of bassist Sean Hurley in the band. Previous albums had a reasonably close balance of songwriting and singing duties between Matt Scannell and Keith Kane, but Everything You Want featured Scannell writing and handling lead vocals on ten of the eleven tracks.-Wikipedia

Plugged In
For the most part, the vague lyrics avoid objectionable elements. Still, this electric quartet vacillates from confidence to agony when dealing with heartache.

AllMusic
Vertical Horizon's major-label debut, Everything You Want, finds the band strengthening their acoustic jam rock with prominent electric guitars, anthemic hooks, and a clean radio-ready production that brings them in line with the likes of the Wallflowers

The Tech
August 31, 1999. After many hours in the laboratory trying to combine the guitar pop hooks of Matchbox 20 with the dulcet vocals of Duncan Sheik, scientists have created Vertical Horizon’s new album, Everything You Want. The result is a little shallow, but it’s extremely pleasant and one of the catchiest albums of the year.

Ralphy's CD Reviews
The emphasis of this album is in the first third of it. Is the rest of the album not worth listening to than, you may ask? It is. The songs in the middle of the CD aren't that outstanding compared to the ones mentioned above, but all have good melodies and catchy choruses, which for me has become a typical trade of Vertical Horizon. They primarily deal with relations, love and the problems related to these.
