On this special Album Dive episode, I’m joined by Matt Scannell, lead singer and songwriter of Vertical Horizon, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the band’s breakthrough album Everything You Want.

We explore the stories behind the recording and release of the album’s biggest hits, including the chart-topping title track “Everything You Want,” along with “You’re a God,” “Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning),” and “We Are.” We also shine a light on fan-favorite deep cuts like “Send It Up” and “You Say.”

Matt also shares insights on Gary Allan’s 2005 country cover of “Best I Ever Had,” the evolution of the band’s sound on their 2003 single “Forever” from the album Go, and much more.

Whether you're a longtime Vertical Horizon fan or discovering the album for the first time, this episode is a deep dive into one of the defining alt-rock records of the early 2000s.
