    Ersatz G.B.
    Ersatz G.B. is a lesser Fall album, not as good as Your Future Our Clutter or The Real New Fall LP, and certainly not on a par with earlier landmarks like Slates and Hex Induction Hour.... Even so... there's enough fire and venom here to excuse occasional soft spots.

    Use Me
    As its title suggests, Use Me offers a lesson in how to stay true to one's muse.

    Modern Art
    Whatever the fuel, the songsmith has created sterling and a wonderfully adventurous record that is quite possibly his best since 1995's 100% Fun.

    Little Hell
    The heart- wrenching emotion is credible and convincing, even though the uneasy undercurrents find Green's brand of the blues seem somewhat tenuous at times. Nevertheless, at this point in the trajectory, City & Colour manages to provide a pleasing musical melange.

    Old Mad Joy
    Ultimately, Old Mad Joy may not signal the breakthrough that this outfit deserves, but by rekindling the savvy sound techniques that have taken them this far, hopefully the rest of the world will catch up soon enough.

    Fly from Here
    As Yes is now in its sixth decade, the prog rock band shows on Fly From Here that it can still make music that is fresh and lively.

    The Messenger
    Marr has become a more assured singer, which is one of several ways this album improves on Boomslang.

    Black Up
    Any adventurous soul with both Drake and Sun Ra back to back on his or her iPod will most certainly be able to get down with this truly unique hip-hop experience.

    A Church That Fits Our Needs
    Shimmering and ethereal, A Church That Fits Our Needs finds the band as ambitious as ever.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Sweet Heart Sweet Light
    Sweet Heart's melancholy tunes are still grand, their orchestras soaring and their choruses rousing, even Phil Spector-orian in the epic kink, but they're more tightly wound than on previous efforts.

    We Still Love Our Country
    It may seem a somewhat unassuming entry, but regardless, We Love Our Country creates a favorable first impression.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    La Costa Perdida
    Fortunately, the band that helped establish the early indie ethos remains as odd and unrepentant as ever.
    • 57 Metascore

    Like a Fire That Consumes All Before It...
    If you dig big choruses, the sound of a heart breaking and just the right amount of sweat on your brow, then Like a Fire That Consumes All Before It is for you.

    Dirty Jeans and Mudslide Hymns
    John Hiatt has now released over one third of his career recordings since the year 2000, and seems likely to continue to make good music for some time to come.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    You're Nothing
    You're Nothing is an album full of power--power which makes you think and react viscerally.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Release Me
    The entire affair is more open, relaxed and loose than he's ever been on record, qualities that appear easily and readily during his live shows.
