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:
“As nature requires whirlwinds and cyclones to release its excessive force in a violent revolt against its own existence, so the spirit requires a demonic human being from time to time whose excessive strength rebels against the community of thought and the monotony of morality ... only by looking at those beyond its limits does humanity come to know its own utmost limits.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“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)
“We read poetry because the poets, like ourselves, have been haunted by the inescapable tyranny of time and death; have suffered the pain of loss, and the more wearing, continuous pain of frustration and failure; and have had moods of unlooked-for release and peace. They have known and watched in themselves and others.”
—Elizabeth Drew (1887–1965)
