Gone are the noir-rock undertones and the bubbling tension of her earlier albums, and they are replaced in favor of unlimited access to the local orchestra's storage closet," adding "it's a heady and abstract album that feels more like it should be studied than enjoyed."{{sfn|Larson|2011}} A review from PopMatters call is a "deeply layered record with lots to listen to and appreciate in every sense. It's also just a lot of fun as MBD clearly enjoys being in character and seeing where the songs taker her," and Filter says it is "a cohesive trek that leaves the listener enraptured by Worden's talent and undeniable magnetism."{{sfn|Horowitz|2011}}{{sfn|Hall|2011}} A mixed review in Pitchfork notes that "the carefulness of All Things Will Unwind can feel impenetrable sometimes, and while her closest musical analogue is the equally ambitious Joanna Newsom, Worden lacks Newsom's oddball vulnerability," and concludes with "to be so many things, to harness and perfect so many disparate sounds-- makes her work feel more distant than it should."{{sfn|Petrusich|2011}} Track listingAll songs are written by Shara Worden, except where indicated. {{tracklisting|total_length = 42:13 |title1 = We Added It Up |length1 = 4:04 |title2 = Reaching Through to the Other Side |length2 = 3:41 |title3 = In the Beginning |length3 = 4:19 |title4 = Escape Routes |length4 = 3:27 |title5 = Be Brave |length5 = 4:16 |title6 = She Does Not Brave the War (But She Saves the Day) |length6 = 4:05 |title7 = Ding Dang |writer7 = Tim Fite, Shara Worden |length7 = 2:30 |title8 = There's a Rat |length8 = 4:08 |title9 = High Low Middle |writer9 = Brian Wolfe, Shara Worden |length9 = 3:33 |title10 = Everything Is in Line |written10 = DM Stith, Shara Worden |length10 = 4:31 |title11 = I Have Never Loved Someone the Way I Love You |length11 = 3:39 }} Personnel
