All Change is the debut album by the English band Cast, released on 16 October 1995 by Polydor. It spawned four singles: "Finetime", "Alright", "Sandstorm" and "Walkaway". It became the highest selling debut album in the history of the Polydor label.[1] A deluxe edition was released in November 2010.[2]
The Irish Times wrote that "All Change has all the ingredients which made Cast's predecessors such a brilliant pop prospect: jangly riffs, heavenly hooks and a pervading sense of being wonderfully out of time."[3]
Roch Parisien of AllMusic found the album to be "the perfect antidote to the inner rage fueling much American alternative rock", praising the production and Power's musicianship for carrying anthemic positivity and exuberant delivery, saying that "Cast transcends the hackneyed expectations of its environment, structure, and genetics through sheer, relentless quality of songcraft and performance." In a retrospective review, Jamie Atkins of Record Collector said the album "still has the most to offer", highlighting "Alright", "Sandstorm" and "Finetime"; though on tracks such as "Tell It Like It Is" and "Walkaway" "we get strong hints of future disappointments".
