Recorded last year in the Rhino studios in Mmabatho with Aussie producer Reggie Bowman, 'All comes round', with its generous 16 tracks, manges to cover a wide range of styles without losing the bands distinctive sound. Most of the songs were written or co-written by Art Matthews and it is his voice that gives the band, and this album, its inner core of quality. The arrangements are complex ,crisp and clear and never threaten to submerge Art's voice , rather working to support him even on the harder songs.

The songs maintain a consistency that results in a strong all-round album as opposed to the usual one-hit plus filler debut style. Besides the title track, 'Too late' and 'Father and farther' stand out. But after a few listens not only is it obvious that this is a album that demands repeated playings, it is also obvious that Art and the boys have more where this came from and (if and ) when one grows tired of this album there will be another to take its place; and that is really what makes Just Jinger and their debut album so special.
