    • 47 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    More shouty rock and party anthems from the valleys.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Not up to par with his other albums, Tom Jenkinson's latest work is saved only by his name and not his art.
    • 40 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Hard-working hat-wearing ‘Had A Bad Day’ songwriter Daniel Powter’s third album is a bit of a mess when all’s said and done.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Freddie-less queen fail to recall old glories.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    This isn’t the place for Timbaland to try any new tricks and what starts off as something quite thrilling rapidly loses its impact over the course of the album’s 19 long tracks.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Try-hard, but ultimately mediocre R’n’B comeback from disgraced singer.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Go on, drink whiskey from the bottle, see if I care. But when you’re done, don’t jump around like gracelessly ageing Bratz dolls playing late-era Kiss and think you’re a blistering she-Crue.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Shallow and unfunny third album from london boys
    • 53 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Poor man’s Usher wallows in hip-hop cliches.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    New mexican drone rock duds. Tune free zone.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Dismal offering from would-be R&B Lothario, this 14-song supposed sexual odyssey is more like a soundtrack to a day in the life of Mr Bean than Hugh Hefner.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    'Craig Nicholls’ mob spectacularly fall from grace.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 10 Critic Score
    Please, please, please ignore this album. Uncle Dysfunktional is a wretched experience. Ryder bellows his way through it all, banging on about drugs and low-life in a voice that can barely muster a tune.
