Listening to Coyne retreat behind the faux-Power Rangers horror-movie shtick he's created here is puzzling and ultimately disappointing. [#55, p.73]- Magnet
-
- Critic Score
Many of the songs meander, and the constant back-to-the-'60s vibe loses its charm. [#55, p.94]- Magnet

- Critic Score
After delivering a classic, Superdrag has returned with something just shy of that, but considering the quality here, no one has any right to spew complaints. [#55, p.91]- Magnet

- Critic Score
The way-cute, we're-just-messing-around-with-our-computer feel of Out Of The loop is missed, but The Tight Connection gives a crisper picture of the duo at work. [#55, p.80]- Magnet

Instrumentally, Torino strays little from previous Cinerama releases.... But lyrically, Gedge... [has] developed a gritter, nastier edge. [#55, p.72]- Magnet

- Critic Score
Among the lot lie some stone-cold Pollard classics. [#55, p.76]- Magnet

- Critic Score
Not nearly as tear-stained as his 2000 mini-album Gerroa Songs, Three zeroes in on the uptempo, if not the upbeat. [#55, p.84]- Magnet

Though it isn't as catchy or streamlined as Lifestyle, one of Italian Platinum's many strengths is the continued ability of bassist Tim Midgett and guitarist Andy Cohen to pen lyrics that are downcast yet inspirational, witty yet insightful, sometimes all at once. [#55, p.86]- Magnet

- Critic Score
The tight, buzzing guitars and chugging rhythm section have been deconstructed--subdued, even. [#54, p.78]- Magnet

Song after song hurts in that oh-so-right way. [#54, p.89]- Magnet
-
- Critic Score
Songs so immediately enthralling you won't even notice the faint Dungeons & Dragons scent of [Rieger's] lyrics. [#54, p.88]- Magnet

Dealing with Trans Am entails dealing with a great sense of humor that's a fun and striking listen to boot. [#54, p.109]- Magnet
-
- Critic Score
A note-cramming session heavy on the Little Feat and light on the Sea And Cake. [#55, p.70]- Magnet
-
- Critic Score
The 13-song set gurgles and gloops with the surreal intensity of a Morricone score revisted by a Bollywood auteur/mixmaster. [#54, p.91]- Magnet

Music, while a pleasant listen, is nowhere near the heartfelt art Eitzel normally blesses us with. [#54, p.86]- Magnet

As If To Nothing occasionally lapses into moments that more closely resemble a compilation tape than a cohesive body of music. [#54, p.76]- Magnet

Their second album only partially makes good on their promise, delivering a lovely package that lacks the emotional punch of last year's terrific self-titled debut. [#55, p.70]- Magnet

Every bit as visceral and thrilling as fellow Manhattanites the Strokes. [#54, p.98]- Magnet

The band has finally become more than the sum of its friends. [#54, p.106]- Magnet
-
- Critic Score
If only [L'Altra] would wipe away the polish, stop being yet another tender pop band and let its melodies be springboards for exploration instead of straightjackets. [#54, p.94]- Magnet

- Critic Score
Here, on one compact disc, is what's wrong with the music industry. [#54, p.110]- Magnet
