Everything Must Go is the fourth full-length studio album by American jam rock band Goose. It was the first full-length studio album with new drummer Cotter Ellis.

Background

Recording for Everything Must Go began in May 2023., ^[1] when the band's lineup included the now-departed Ben Atkind on drums and Jeffrey Arevalo on percussion. According to keyboardist Peter Anspach, the album was recorded half with Atkind and half with new drummer Cotter Ellis ^[1] . Most of the tracks on the album had been performed live several times, and in some cases for years, by the band prior to the album's release. The exceptions include "Your Direction," which was released as the third single, and two tracks -- "Dustin Hoffman" and "Iguana Song" -- which had no prior live versions before the album's release. ^{[2] [3]}

On January 27, 2025, "Give It Time" was released as the first single. Subsequent singles included "Lead Up," "Your Direction," and "Thatch."

Reception

Everything Must Go currently holds a 77 rating on Metacritic, indicating "generally favorable reviews". ^[4] Dave Goodwich of Glide offered a positive review, calling the album "the group's most comprehensive and gratifying studio release to date" ^[1] . Writing for Rolling Stone, David Browne gave the album a 3/5 rating, comparing--and contrasting--the band with jam band predecessors such as the Grateful Dead ^[5]
