Editorial Review:
Math wiz and multi-instrumentalist John Ondrasik's third album under his rather misleading Five For Fighting rubric shows that he's lost little of the cranky ire that he unleashed on American Town, but this time his targets are a little closer to home. He skews faithless friends and bad habits on the tetchy opening track "NYC Weather report," oddly borrowing from both Guns N' Rose's "Paradise City," and Barbara Streisand's "People" to hammer his ornery point home, before training his sights on the human life span, fleeting relationships, and even Disneyland. But it isn't until "Girlfriends and Angels," that he shows his real brilliance, imagination and grit; Ondrasik finds the exact place where the Beach Boys intersects with the Velvet Underground and plants himself in that spot, spewing out his own hard won romantic philosophies, proving once again that the hunter does indeed get captured by the game. More ribald, sonically inventive, and lyrically edgy, The Battle For Everything, shows that Ondrasik's combative days may be behind him. --Jaan Uhelszki
The Battle for Everything Reviews:
Battle for everything 
2009-05-17 - Arrived on time, but had a CD of Gomer Pile music in it instead of this CD. Not too happy.
Excellent 
2009-02-04 - This is an excellent CD. These guys sound different on every song. The guys voice is a little wacky, but he pulls it off well. I will be getting more by them.

A pleasant offering 
2008-11-11 - Bought it several years ago and still have several of the songs on my iPod. A really sweet offering of music and lyrics here.
