A really good album.  I enjoyed just about every song.  Sara always entertains with her beautiful, refreshing songwriting and voice.  Every song tells a story so you really listen to the lyrics as well as the music.

Listened to the entire album from beginning to end and thoroughly enjoyed each song. Arriving has both high energy songs and songs that I found quite relaxing. Overall a great album that Im sure Ill listen to many times.

This was a surprisingly good album start to finish.  I bought it for the wife based on the strength of the single "Mexico" but the whole album was really good.  A nice variety of folk rock & rich female vocals.  Reminds us of The Wailin' Jennies which we both like but has a more British folk feel.  Looking forward to future albums and hopefully catching them in concert.
Summary:  if you like the single "Mexico", buy the whole album and you won't be disappointed.

Great album. In my experience, I usually only like a few songs on an album but this is one of those rare albums where I actually like the whole album and am happy to have it playing in the background. I've also had several people ask me "Who is this? when they've heard it. Very easy to listen to and some very catchy songs in the mix.

I knew there were a few tunes that I liked but the entire album is terrific. This is a great add to my collection.

This is a great album.  A little mellow in mood, yet one that yields more and more upon repeated listenings.  Definitely not a sleeper.  One curious bit is that this album sounds really good when turned up to a decent volume - go and figure?  But Paul's always had an affinity for delicate sounding acoustic guitars and nuances, put to good effect on this album.  8 out of 11 songs on this record are great in my opinion, and the others are fine.  Not all the songs should be judged on their individual merit here - he's definitely not going for 11 hit singles - but taken in the context of this album, it's a personal gesture from one of the greatest songwriters and acoustic guitar players of all time.  I also must add that I feel his vocals really shine on this record - The album is a pure delight.
The album kicks off with a super-solid reggae piece, "Mother and Child Reunion".  Most will already know this killer tune, but if you don't, you're in for a beautiful jamming surprise.  It picks up where "Why Don't You Write Me" from Bridge Over Troubled Water left off, yet actually goes all the way to Kingston, Jamaica with Leslie Kong's players to get an authentic track.  Whoever said this isn't really reggae doesn't know much of what they're talking about.  Although "Duncan" gets lots of praise, it's not one of my faves on this album, but is most definitely listenable and enjoyable.
The luscious softness of "Everything Put Together Falls Apart" gives the listener the feeling that they are in the same room with Simon noodling.  A lovely little ditty.  "Run That Body Down" is another great number.  Warning against the detriments of drugs and alcohol (I guess) on a poor boy's body.  Another great Simon vocal delivery.  "Armistice Day" is one of his great unsung songs.  A very cool mix of styles that meanders with purpose.  Why don't people try to come up with stuff this adventurous and intriguing anymore within the confines of contemporary popular music?  I don't know either.  I love this tune.
On to "Me and Julio".  What a great song!  Another upbeat moment on this album, and a verifiable hit.  Interesting production, too.  Anyway, you probably already know this, but if you don't, see "M&C Reunion" for comments.  "Peace Like A River" took a while for me to get hip to, but I love it now.  As always, great acoustic sound.  Nice vocals again.  "Papa Hobo" not being one of my favorites, due to some odd and goofy lyrics that stand out and kinda make you embarrassed, but hell, it's still a real listenable song and is congruous with the mood of the record.  "Hobo's Blues" is a pretty cool, albeit odd, tune with the great jazz violinist Stephane Grappelli (sp?).  Pretty snazzy workout, and cool chord progression for you guitar players out there.
"Paranoia Blues" is the cut on this record that is the most reminiscent of Bridge for me.  Pretty upbeat.  A great one, and definitely one of the highpoints of this record.  "Congratulations" has always mesmerized me from first listen.  I don't know if it's the vocal melody in juxtaposition to the chord progression or the lovely droplets of the Rhodes piano that get to me, but by the time he gets out the first two lines, I'm hooked for good.  A truly beautiful and sad song.  And in my opinion, a great closer for this record.
Overall, this record has a shy coming of age feel to it, but what really stands out are Paul's vocals and guitar playing - so how can it be anything other than [realy] great!?!!?  See other reviews for its context to his departure from S&G, but I just love it for what it is - a nice little album of some great songs from one of the best ever.

I never write reviews but i had to for this album. Bought it on a whim and boy am I glad i did. Every song really hits hard and the whole album has a good flow, not a bad song on it. If you're thinking about getting it, do it.  Favorites are tracks number 1,2,4,6,8,and 11.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this album - very different from most - there was no backup noise and the songs were great. my favorite was Whirl, the last song on the album. The guitar playing was in perfect sync with the lyrics.  A very creative piece. It was just one good album

I really enjoyed this album, the only thing that some may consider bad about it is: I want to start drinking when ever I listen to it. The lyrics are superb and the instrumental side is a rare treat.

This is one of those albums where every song is amazing.  I have pretty much already worn this out because I listen to it so often.  I listen to a lot of music and to be quite honest, this may be one of my all time favorite albums (as a whole).  Like most people, I originally bought it becuase there were a few songs I like but after one listen all the way though, I was instantly hooked to every single song offered.  I lost my first copy some time ago and was really craving a bit of Everything in Transit and the fact that I found it so easily and cheap was even better.  It was even still in the shrink wrap when I received it.

I really enjoyed the album. It is on my list of top BT albums, It reminds me of how I felt when I first heard Movement in Still life. Good vocals, good samples and hooks. I especially like the song w/ rose mcgowan, and the current single "Simply Being Loved (Somnambulist)" is REALLY good!!!!
Most of the songs have vocals, which some peopel think he has sold out becuase of it, but I really enjoyed it. I persoanlly love IMA as an album the best cause I can listen to it in any mood, but this one really ranks up on my top list.
It is funny, here this CD JUST got released, I can't wait for a new BT cd.
