A serious album, with huge potential and no weak points, Disc-Overy is the coming of age UK hip hop has long needed but been too timid to reach for.- Dot Music

Eliza Doolittle is an album of potential but, for the moment, that's all it is.- Dot Music

One crucial difference is The Pierces' music has changed from something that sounded like awkward whimsy a few years ago into something middle-aged people will like; and that's basically the key to selling loads of records these days.- Dot Music

Few records will be made this year with such love and devotion, and you'll be able to tell it too. It's delicious.- Dot Music

She has already made pop interesting just as it was declining into irrelevance; now it's time for her to make it great again.- Dot Music

Certainly, it's by far the best album of his career to date--proof that going it alone was a decision that most certainly paid off.- Dot Music

Aficionados may balk at an actor trespassing on sacred ground, but even they'd have to admit, that for a white, middle-class Englishman, Hugh Laurie plays a surprisingly convincing bluesman.- Dot Music

Overall, Smother is brilliant, and a record by a band with a big brain, a generous heart, hungry ears and a permanent erection.- Dot Music

No doubt Helplessness Blues will win Pecknold further fame and success, whether he likes it or not.- Dot Music

An average album over produced, Love? has Lopez throwing everything she's got at relaunching her pop career and coming up shorter than anyone could ever have thought possible.- Dot Music

To anyone who's felt like they've been along to share even a little bit of that journey, it's an album-of-the-year contender that's bound to do nothing but delight.- Dot Music

If you can manage to put such quibbles aside--and it will be a struggle--Light After Dark has some redeeming features.- Dot Music

Worst of all, it turns out that commercially-minded dubstep is--perhaps inevitably--a much weaker prospect than its club counterpart.- Dot Music

It's certainly not Joy Division, but there's a bittersweet, melancholy and intelligent edge here that's worth investigating.- Dot Music

Though there are still moments of eyeball rolling twee, the darker undertones are enough to more than keep us interested.- Dot Music

If this is what we get - because this is what enough of us apparently want - the end of the music business cannot come soon enough.- Dot Music

Like on James Blake's album, every swoon is accentuated with the help of a computer and at times just sounds like someone crying and using Auto-Tune at the same time.- Dot Music

No, it isn't as good as that, but getting anywhere close is proof that Damon Albarn remains a musical alchemist, turning what could easily have been crude and leaden into something that often gleams like gold.- Dot Music

Nine Types Of Light is an album that manages to blend experimentation with a welcoming accessibility that proves pop music can still be bold this far down the line.- Dot Music

Far from a behind-the-scenes veil-lifting, though, 'Doggumentary' largely ensures that the worst preconceptions of self-indulgent hip-hop remain in place.- Dot Music

Neither a triumph nor a calamity, EUPHORIC HEARTBREAK delivers just enough to make you believe Glasvegas may still have that perfect album in them some day.- Dot Music

More vintage sound than classic album, All You Need Is Now won't revive any careers, theirs or Ronson's.- Dot Music

Femme Fatale is also unevenly paced, overlong (16 tracks in its deluxe version) and burdened with filler like the generic 'I Wanna Go', which tries to find a shortcut to the dancefloor but gets lost en route. But the weaker material is outweighed by the fantastic, from the slamming, techno-tinged 'Trouble For Me' to the glorious bubblegum house of 'Up N' Down'.- Dot Music

The album, taken as a whole, is remarkably disjointed, because eight of the 13 songs on it have been written with the intention of dominating a different corner of music land.- Dot Music
