Critic Score 30
An homage to Memphis soul and R&B that initially seems a pleasant lark but grows blander and more characterless the more it is heard. [Apr 2002, p.106] -

Critic Score 30
A fairly routine batch of middling-to-turgid funk numbers about lurrve performed with rather more duty than excitement. -

Critic Score 30
Pushes the trio's grandiose delusions onto new levels of interpretative-dancing, mirror-cracking excess. [Oct 2003, p.107] -

Much of Get Ready is less a call to arms than the sound of an old man wheezing out of a creaky armchair. [Sep 2001, p.108] -

Critic Score 30
The story feels thrown together in two seconds, and much of it is irredeemably hokey.... In the end, despite its kooky charms, Greendale is just one more lazy Neil Young album. [Sep 2003, p.96] -

Critic Score 30
Listening eventually becomes a test of endurance for anyone raised on the true country sounds of a Dolly Parton or Emmylou Harris. [Dec 2002, p.115] -

Critic Score 20
If Swingle Singers melodies and mind-numbing repetition is your bag, you're on a winner here; basically, it's easy listening with a bit of electronica. -

Critic Score 20
The album takes on an airbrushed blandness that drowns out both the odd outbreak of compositional quality and the promise of adventure offered by the guests. [Dec 2001, p.104] -

Critic Score 20
Coral Fang finds The Distillers aping the bloodless Hollywood impotence of Hole's Celebrity Skin, their 'punk rock' inoffensive and utterly forgettable. [Dec 2003, p.113] -

Critic Score 20
Tired and contrived-sounding.... Baptism? Craptism, more like. [Jun 2004, p.102] -

Critic Score 20
Beats click and rumble while Jewel simpers baby-doll vocals which sound deflatingly calculated. [Oct 2003, p.114] -

Critic Score 20
A vapid yet relentlessly self-regarding solemnity prevails. [Feb 2004, p.95] -

Critic Score 20
She's lost track of almost everything that made her music marvellous. [Jun 2004, p.101] -

Tired, frightened-sounding and hopelessly misjudged.... Hugely disappointing. [Dec 2001, p.116] -

Critic Score 20
They're a bit like '80s vintage Judas Priest but not quite as good. Or indeed as gay. [Sep 2004, p.99] -

Critic Score 20
Starts promisingly soulful, but soon descends into faux gangster bullshit and lazy, dumb-ass sexism. [Feb 2005, p.100] -

Critic Score 20
Material which says something, but feels nothing real. [Nov 2004, p.95] -

Critic Score 20
Breach is a dull affair of humdrum tunes, mundane performance, and lyrics which lose themselves in vague imagery as if Dylan were actually evading the chance to express himself. -

Critic Score 20
Kate Pierson and Cindy Wilson's endless calls for us to party hearty sound like nothing less than Shampoo's sozzled grans on a hen night, Fred Schneider's ironic lounge lizard is just creepy, and the same old tuned guitars spar against the same old Barbarella beats. [Apr 2008, p.102] -
