It's a fine - if eccentric- album, but a bit of extra tinsel wouldn't have hurt. [Jan 2012, p.98]- Mojo

Not so much the future of hip hop as a giant leap sideways. [Aug 2014, p.86]- Mojo

Return To The Noon can seem too dense a construct to penetrate. [Dec 2015, p.88]- Mojo

Tempting to ask for more of this dark night of the soul. [Jan 2018, p.94]- Mojo

Rebel Heart is the first Madonna album for a while that's at least as much for listeners as it is for dancers. Sometimes this shines too hard a light on what she has to say. [Apr 2015, p.88]- Mojo

It's a slight concept (and a short album), which may be to the singer's benefit: in the past she could be off-puttingly clever in a very French way. OUI seems to be saying to us: "Yes, I'm simply a singer. Just Come and enjoy the music.". [Jul 2017, p.93]- Mojo

Here, Scott 'Spiral Stairs' Kannberg's music feels more direct and unguarded than might have been expected given the more crafted, at time arch, music that has hallmarked his two groups. [Dec 2009, p. 90]- Mojo

A 50/50 new/old split: reworkings, questing solo turns and a rare all-out rocker. [Nov 2021, p.94]- Mojo

The Shrine deliver a cantering second LP full of heads-down charm. [Jun 2014, p.98]- Mojo

For Gahan, Angels & Ghosts is another opportunity to repeat his therapeutic cycle of guilt-shedding and redemption. [Dec 2015, p.88]- Mojo

A dense, fervent, riffy drums and electric-guitar driven album. [Nov 2012, p.95]- Mojo

It is the older material that comes out on top. A Euphoric, feel-good collection, nonetheless. [Apr 2020, p.87]- Mojo

The absence of between-song chat makes the experience unnecessarily remote. [Mar 2020, p.106]- Mojo

It's a beguiling mix for the most part, even if they have overly sacrificed melody on the altar of rhythm. [Jul 2022, p.93]- Mojo

The main feeling it provokes is sincere admiration at a job well done, but a raised pulse, unfortunately, is something Spoon can't craft from scratch. [Apr 2017, p.96]- Mojo

The gigantic lokombe (slit drum) and buzz drums no longer shock in the way they used to, although the synths suggest one route forward, and the guitars and harmonies look to South Africa for inspiration. [Jul 2021, p.88]- Mojo

Occasionally the lyrics are wincingly obvious. ... Emerald Valley is blunt truth for dire times. [Jun 2019, p.88]- Mojo

This is impressive, soul-bearing torch-pop, yet despite some bravura vocal performances, Almond's typically declamatory delivery at times, feels rather awkwardly appended to the airlessly slick soundscapes. [Apr 2015, p.91]- Mojo

Armstrong's anti-establishment shtick has lost some of its impact. [Jun 2009, p.102]- Mojo

It's a fine bookend for a man who defined one parochial corner of the music world. [Mar 2011, p.96]- Mojo

While the guitarist's chops are impeccable and his tone as fiery as ever, the stiff, unyielding charts tend to stifle him, hindering his spontaneity and that of his fellow fine musicians. [Jun 2020, p.95]- Mojo

Her sinuous, Lady Dayish voice sets her apart. Unfortunately, it's not to be heard in full effect until about a third of the way through Mama's Gun... [Jan 2001, p.104]- Mojo

Hall explores his anger and depression through mostly downbeat but frequently beautiful ballads. [Feb 2022, p.87]- Mojo

Many of these 12 songs, eight of them originals, tend towards the reflective. [Jan 2021, p.90]- Mojo

As with previous Immersion material, analogue synthesizers provide the musical focus here, sporadically infused with electric guitars, often played in the oblique, angular style that Wire Fans will instantly cleave to. [Feb 2017, p.98]- Mojo

Jones actually one-ups the Ventures with a frenetic version of White Christmas you can do the swim to. [Jan 2016, p.88]- Mojo
