90Memory Man will be one of the strongest efforts released in 2007.
-
80Memory Man comes at you with a hesitant rush, portraying bespectacled, nice Mr. Hales as an improbably suburban Jeff Buckley--no glamour, all passion. [Oct 2007, p.94]
-
So while Aqualung may not be doing anything on Memory Man that is wholly different than all of the Coldplays and Rufus Wainwrights of the world, there is a certain down-to-earth charm inherent in Hales that his peers often lack.
-
Hales works admirably hard at selling his world. [16 Mar 2007, p.68]
-
70He's an expert at creating mesmerizing, sophisticated pop.
-
60So outstanding is 'Cinderella' that its siblings pale in its shadow. [Sep 2007, p.88]
-
60Trades Parachutes-era wistfulness for Kid A-style gloom. [Mar 2007, p.88]
-
30The lightness and clarity that once set Hales apart is here squashed by overwrought arrangements of lesser melodies that replace pop classicism with conventional rock bluster.
