The smooth edges of Mature Themes doesn't mean this music is any easier to grasp. [Sep 2012, p.86]- Mojo

Ultimately guided by voices, it peaks on cypher session S Bento MC5, an affectionate homage to A Tribe Called Quest's Scenario. [Jan 2017, p.99]- Mojo

Oh My smacks less of a one-off project, more of the opening chapter in a narrative which could dominate its participant's future. [Mar 2018, p.94]- Mojo

This is diaphanous pop music--perhaps overly flimsy on occasion--but full of sparkle and more variegated than before. [Mar 2016, p.97]- Mojo

This is passionate music, delivered with verve. [Mar 2011, p.104]- Mojo

Not quite up to par with the last three indie label releases, but he set the bar high. [Oct 2021, p.93]- Mojo

If Kate Bush backed by MGMT appeals, Maguire's your woman. [Apr 2011, p.105]- Mojo

Bid renders the album's picaresque litany of devious noblemen, murdered knights and debauched bishops with typically knowing aplomb. [Oct 2019, p.89]- Mojo

Produced with Dave Fridmann and Joe Chiccarelli, the album benefits from the former's spacey soundscapes and the latter's commercial sensibility. [Sep 2014, p.96]- Mojo

Pollard's lyrics are characteristically oblique, but persistence pokes through as a theme. [Jan 2020, p.90]- Mojo

A mixed bag, then, but rarely short of mood-elevating. [Jan 2017, p.100]- Mojo

Over time, however, it can feel like Clarke has excised the excitement along with the Extraneous matter, his balefully lovelorn tenor, now right out front without distracting clutter, often too reedy to carry the show. [Sep 2023, p.84]- Mojo

Although the album is marred by its over-consistent tone, almost any one of these songs taken in isolation--played of the closing credits of The Sopranos, say--would rightfully be hailed as a lost classic. [May 2007, p.118]- Mojo

For every glimpse of a hook or a memorable melody, there's a stretch of unfocused, sample-strewn electronica, all skittering art-techno beats and wilfully obtuse instrumentation. [Nov 2007, p.95]- Mojo

Writing in a different meter results in parts of Sudden Elevation becoming more linear, less abstract than predecessor Innundir Skinni. [Mar 2013, p.89]- Mojo

- Critic Score
These fine-spun talents are too frequently suffocated by the album;s production, which ignores the songs' subtler details in favour of something more epic. [Apr 2013, p.89]- Mojo

If anything, she's dreamer, the tempo's a little more down, the mood more twilit. [May 2009, p.101]- Mojo

The father-and-son combination is satisfyingly unpredictable, with a fresh, non-rock approach to some of the rhythms and unexpected shifts in style. [Jun 2017, p.86]- Mojo

Occasionally remarkable, American Twilight is a timely reminder of the instinctive songwriting that a certain other, more feted southern gothic Melbournian has sometimes mislaid. [May 2013, p.95]- Mojo

First album in 16 years for the post-punk maestros. Riveting and robotic. [Feb. 2011, p. 106]- Mojo

Songs filled with rustic, caught-between-light-and-dark country metaphors. [Sep 2015, p.95]- Mojo

- Critic Score
Boasts duets between Esperanza Spalding ab=nd Q-Tip, Musiq Soulchild and posdnuos and a deep-voiced rap from Meshell Ndegeocello that perfectly marries H.E.R.'s downcast balladeering. Much of the rest, however, is little more than showy, slick and generic R&B, with Glasper becoming virtually untraceable. [Apr 2022, p.89]- Mojo

Wield[s] both a wistful poignancy and raw emotional undertow. [Aug 2006, p.94]- Mojo

Spare bayou mirage score for Green's newie. [Nov 2013, p.94]- Mojo

The instrumental smorgasbord can feel a little claustrophobic, as on the clattering All The Way Live, but overall The Go! Team's relentless party vibe emerges undiminished. [Feb 2018, p.96]- Mojo

Omega Male doesn't stray too far from the day job(s) [of David Best of Fujiya & Miyagi and Sammy Rubin of Project Jenny, Project Jan]. [Dec 2012, p.94]- Mojo

Some might find the work's almost wilful-seeming opacity and slight whiff of academia off-putting. Judged on purely musical terms, however, it's a ting of great beauty. [Apr 2017, p.90]- Mojo
