Driving yet jaunty guitars abound and backing chants fill the required spaces, yet it all comes across too much like a sub-par parody of their former selves.- Dot Music

This lumpen, bloated, boring album is as much of a let-down as any of Timbaland's other "solo" works.- Dot Music

This is a pompous, blandly histrionic album, faintly monumental in its drabness.- Dot Music

For people awaiting that second Jet album, this should prove a welcome distraction from their crayons. For the rest of us it's a look of bemusement and a scratched head.- Dot Music

Earth To The Dandy Warhols is just vacuous mid-tempo babble and clatter.- Dot Music

Unfortunately for the oh-so-cleverly named Mongrel are nothing more than a patronising exercise in telling the poor listener what they already know: that governments can be corrupt, war on the whole is not pleasant and we all have a right to freedom.- Dot Music

The rest of the tracks bop along with various degrees of offensiveness or inoffensiveness, troubling and achieving nothing.- Dot Music

Represents an ill-advised body swerve from the duo’s idiosyncratic home territory and plunges them deep into the thoroughly becalmed waters of MOR ambient pop, offering up languid, beats-driven, down-tempo tunes that aren’t so much radio-friendly as downright sycophantic.- Dot Music

The dominant sound is of flickering sequencers and heavy-handed synth-pomp which showcases Linkin Park's keen interest in the work of Depeche Mode, but also often leaves them sounding about as cutting-edge and dangerous as Jesus Jones.- Dot Music

An album that's desperately hard to listen to, let alone care about.- Dot Music

To live in their world is like being trapped at an idiot's convention and almost – but only almost - as bad as Limp Bizkit.- Dot Music

You can forgive Cruz for wondering who he's meant to be for his second album, but we're less indulgent of such wishy-washy nonsense that "Rokstarr" puts across in the name of heartfelt R&B.- Dot Music

He preens, poses and struts like a self-proclaimed and extremely delusional love god.- Dot Music

Repeated plays just refuse to reveal hidden depths. There aren‘t any. “Around The Sun” is just a really poor album, probably the first one that this band has ever put out.- Dot Music

The big-beated momentum of yore is bogged down in McClure's new graceless Gallagher sneer and left to stagnate by a band more interested in re-heating anaemic Kasabian-esque psychedelia than building a plinth from which to preach.- Dot Music

Beyond the artificiality of this album's every attempt to be loved, what's most surprising is Pharrell's failure to program so much as a decent beat.- Dot Music

With so much of the joyous, uplifting and just plain life-affirming Motown back catalogue freely available (not to mention the any number of soul all-nighters dotted across the country), Going Back is a redundant exercise into one man's nostalgia.- Dot Music

Songs that used to bounce and strut with foolhardy glee now amble, lamenting, the stench of booze and self-pity turning Romance At Short Notice into a wake.- Dot Music

A plodding collection of ballads carefully designed to show-off her jaw-dropping vocal range to the fullest.- Dot Music

"Christ Illusion" for the most part consists of leaden, grinding sludge devoid of any urgency or malevolence.- Dot Music

This album is nowhere near as imaginative or as interesting as its maker thinks it is.- Dot Music

His voice still sounds like it could curdle milk, an anaemic whine with no substance. Song-wise, this is mass-production fodder about which there's very little one can say.- Dot Music
