Background

"Everything Will Flow" and "Leaving" were produced by Steve Osborne, "Weight of the World" was recorded by Miti Adhikari while "Crackhead" and "Seascape" were produced by Suede. The b-side "Weight of the World" on CD1 features keyboardist Neil Codling on lead vocals and the b-side "Seascape" on CD2 is an instrumental.

The video for the title song was directed by Howard Greenhalgh, and is another big budget video by the band. Though visually appealing with CGI water "flowing" throughout people, the band considers it a failure because they believe it resembles a bad television advertisement.

Reception

Critics felt the song sounded similar to previous Suede songs. The List felt the song was "nothing more than 'Stay Together' with more violins."[2] Select felt it was a "slightly blander take on 'Saturday Night' with Brett's vocal mannerisms pushing him ever closer to Anthony Newley."[3] Music Week called it "the shadier cousin of 'She's in Fashion', with a similar synthesized string refrain and distinctive lyrical Brett-isms."[4]

gollark: For communication between cars, it seems odd to have them all link back to a tower.
gollark: So having anything which works by streaming vast amounts of data all the time does not seem smart.
gollark: They need to be able to operate independently of the network, or everything will go horribly wrong if they go into a tunnel, or there's a temporary outage.
gollark: Honestly it doesn't seem useful for *that*, either.
gollark: I can see it being used for specialty applications like that, sure, but it does *not* seem useful in a generic router-type device.
