Análisis (en inglés) - :
{$The Posies} sure have a funny idea about breaking up -- though they supposedly called it quits in 1999, the band has been playing reunion shows and releasing albums of archival material on a fairly regular basis since, and 2005's {^Every Kind of Light} is their first full-blown studio effort since 1998's alleged swan song, {^Success}. With founders, songwriters, and general frontal lobes {$Jon Auer} and {$Ken Stringfellow} joined by {$Matt Harris} and {$Darius Minwalla}, {^Every Kind of Light} seems to pick up where {^Success} left off, finding the band in a low-key frame of mind on most of the songs, though the rootsy accents of that album have been abandoned in favor of a stripped-down variation on the {\baroque pop} of {^Dear 23}. (And if you were hoping for some of the guitar firepower of {^Frosting on the Beater} and {^Amazing Disgrace}, there is a taste of that on {&"I Finally Found a Jungle I Like"} and {&"All in a Day's Work,"} though the more measured tempos certainly dominate the album.) The new lineup of the band sounds as accomplished as ever, and the production (with {$Auer} and {$Stringfellow} credited as {$the Ineptunes}) gives the material clean and well-arranged settings. {$Auer} and {$Stringfellow}'s political concerns also rise to the surface here, explicitly on {&"Sweethearts of Rodeo Drive"} and {&"It's Great to Be Here Again"} and implicitly on {&"That Don't Fly"} and {&"Could He Treat You Better,"} all of which deal with their mixed feelings about life in America in the wake of {%George W. Bush} and the War in Iraq. But for all the care that obviously went into {^Every Kind of Light} and the firm sense of purpose in its political subtext, the album in toto rings a bit hollow -- it never hits as hard as it ought to, and there's simply too much dead air in the album's long mid-tempo stretches. It's nice to have {$the Posies} back in the studio again, but {^Every Kind of Light} isn't the triumphant return fans might have hoped for. [A Japanese version added a bonus track.] ~ Mark Deming, All Music Guide
