    • 70 Critic Score
    This is a good album, though disconcertingly reminiscent of something you could have heard on Modern Rock radio 12 years ago.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's the detailed complexity and playfulness of the performances that really set Yoko apart from your regular psych-pop release.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Some may consider the Super Furries to be treading water on Phantom Power because it feels comfortable and familiar. But when something sounds this good and touches this many bases, I'll take a few more like this one.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    De-loused is definitely worth checking out, but make sure to keep an open mind and check any preconceived notions at the door.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Grandaddy's mellowest, most cohesive material to date.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    This sounds like a brand-new, re-energized John Mellencamp.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    This is toothless, banal music that is so sweet it's like eating an extra helping of cotton candy.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    This music casts a thoughtful spell that deeper enchants the heart the more times it spins.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Slideling isn't a terrible album by any means. It just doesn't have a whole lot of depth to it.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    This supremely confident disc is easily an early standout for year-end best honors.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    All Around is an up-beat look at all that garage rock can be, reminding the listener why garage rock is supposed to be fun.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Unfortunately the record sports plenty of filler.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Vague and awkward.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Please, nothing like this again.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It is the kind of album that becomes more endearing with each listen, with each song evincing a gorgeousness missed the first time around.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Up in Flames isn't the next revolution of electro-pop, but it's a damn good try.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    This is the album of the year.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Wrapped in the sonic wonder of Mark Linkous, Fear Yourself is more than a great record, it is a brilliant one.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    This is a superb piece of rock.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Easily Jurado's most successful album, both musically and lyrically.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    A Little Deeper is one of the truly defining albums of its genre, an album that future artists will look to for inspiration as well as be measured up against. An effortlessly stunning masterpiece.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Skimskitta's refusal or lack of ability to move beyond sketchy hisses and glitches makes for a too sprawling, too unfocused affair.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Log 22 is a collection of apparently simple songs whose catchiness is quickly overtaken by the many quirks and details the band puts into their music.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Unfortunately, the doom and gloom here wears out its welcome quickly.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Slow Motion Daydream is a real treat for Everclear fans since it's just a continuation of the Everclear sound, even if that sound is contrived and average.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    He spits incisive, abstract rhymes that leave you marveling--and a bit confused, at times.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Once the languid beats and innocent twilight melodies of Mark Mitchell's spacious oddity of an album hits the fourth track, you begin to realize a certain cohesion to this eccentric electronic work.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 10 Critic Score
    Leave this record on the shelf. When it invariably hits the used bins, don't buy it.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Laced with bitter irony so thick it drips out of your speakers.
