Release
The album was released in three versions:
- The standard 14-track album
- A limited edition, marked with a sticker, that contained three bonus tracks from the acoustic session
- A special edition in a threefold digipack with plastic sleeve; with the standard CD, and a bonus DVD labeled Everything Else (containing DVD-Audio of the album including bonus track "Yes! Yes!! Yes!!!", and both video and stereo-audio forms of the acoustic show, and several video clips from the recording studio)
The album's first single was "Another Postcard", which many fans perceived as an attempt by the record company to repeat, or capitalize on the success of the leadoff singles from the previous albums ("One Week" from Stunt, and "Pinch Me" from Maroon) which both had similar rap-based vocals. Though the band appeared on a number of major U.S. talk shows to promote it, the single was not significantly successful. The band coincided the album release with a U.S. tour called the Peepshow tour, which was not a typical promotional tour for the band, and was seen as being somewhat geared towards the band's biggest fans, rather than promoting the album to casual fans. Everything To Everyone debuted in the Canadian and US Top 10, but dropped fairly quickly down the charts. At the time it was only the band's second album to have not at least been certified Gold in the US, along with 1994's Maybe You Should Drive.
The album's second single, "Testing 1,2,3" was released early in 2004 with its own music video, and coincided with a more traditional arena tour. A different single, "Maybe Katie" was released to radio in Canada. The album, however, did not see a significant resurgence in sales.
A third single, "For You" was released on a single with the album version, and a live version from Glasgow, Scotland, but did not receive a video. The song received little airplay. In the UK, "Celebrity" was released as a radio and commercial single.

Famous quotes containing the word release:
“If I were to be taken hostage, I would not plead for release nor would I want my government to be blackmailed. I think certain government officials, industrialists and celebrated persons should make it clear they are prepared to be sacrificed if taken hostage. If that were done, what gain would there be for terrorists in taking hostages?”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
“The shallow consider liberty a release from all law, from every constraint. The wise man sees in it, on the contrary, the potent Law of Laws.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“The near touch of death may be a release into life; if only it will break the egoistic will, and release that other flow.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
