    Wishville
    At its best 'Wishville' recalls the finest hours of Psychedelic Furs and Mancunian goth heroes The Chameleons and at its worst, the pomp stadium rock of Simple Minds.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    XTRMNTR
    Throughout the album, Primal Scream set a furious pace that only narrowly stops itself before the last note is spat out. In the preceding 65 minutes, what you get is as monumental a sonic statement of the times as 'Screamadelica' was over ten years ago, the first great album of the millennium and probably the best record of the year.

    Ecstasy
    So there it is, bizarre, world-weary, beautiful, touching, self-indulgent but never, never dull ? at least not until at least nine minutes into 'Like A Possum'.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Pieces In A Modern Style
    Sometimes it works - notably with Gorecki's and Ravel's work - but it frequently misses the mark, with his reinterpretation of Handel's 'Xerxes' sounding something like incidental muzak from a low-budget US soap.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Bloodflowers
    Bloodflowers' stands as a glorious, if contradcitory, body of work. It won't win new converts but lapsed Cure fans will find it a thrilling and rewarding hour.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Disco and The Half Way To Discontent
    A sultry dance album crammed with excellent tunes.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Midnite Vultures
    The startling musical variety amplifies the fact that no matter how aloof, how diffident, how cartoon Beck might be, he's so extravagantly talented that he's already lapped everyone else on that strength alone.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Remedy
    It might not be the dance album of the year - but it's certainly pushing musical boundaries and deserves to be in your record collection.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Beaucoup Fish
    Furious techno stomps and mellow streamlined electronica clash head on with Karl Hyde's often nonsensical vocal style, pushing the group forward yet sticking close to their original blueprint.
