    Son
    Son should stand as one of the most beautiful and inspiring albums of 2006.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The Garden
    As much as The Garden departs from past Zero 7 albums generically, it ultimately falls into the same trap: it readily signifies pop accessibility, but fails to communicate more than a vague aura.
    • 67 Metascore

    Who Loves The Sun OST
    The mood from track-to-track varies drastically. The pieces do work, though.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Now You Are One Of Us
    While imperfect, Now You Are One Of Us is packed with poignant ideas and disturbingly beautiful moments.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Citrus
    If this isn't the album you are blaring out of your car all summer long, you aren't having enough fun.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A Vintage Burden
    A Vintage Burden is well-executed, spare, and in the simplest terms, makes wonderful Sunday morning background music.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Scale
    If Dani appeared on a few less tracks here, Scale may have been one of the year's finest.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Peeping Tom
    While I would put this work near the bottom among Patton's opus, there are still some definitely enjoyable songs.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The Drift
    This new album is relentlessly dark, disjointed, and disturbing. While there exist elements of his pop past -- gorgeous string sections, delicate guitars, bombastic drums -- there's nothing like a song here.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Obliterati
    The first business-as-usual Burma release.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    It's Never Been Like That
    A change in demeanor accompanies this change in style, however, and it's a turn for the worse: Phoenix now gesture at being a Serious Group with Something to Say.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A Hundred Miles Off
    The battle between the cream and the shit ends in a perpetual give and take, but it's the positives of A Hundred Miles Off we will remember in the long run.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    To Find Me Gone
    A perfect album.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Broken Boy Soldiers
    If The Raconteurs were any other group (that is, if The Raconteurs didn't have Jack White), the press/Blogosphere would slam it.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Pink
    Pink is muddy as a bowl of bad split pea soup, and twice as hammy.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Bang Bang Rock & Roll
    It’s surprisingly comforting to hear a band like this come along and put everything in perspective, making you fall in love with music relating to your life, instead of becoming so grandiose and impersonal as most music has in recent years.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    St. Elsewhere
    St. Elsewhere's triumphs are besmirched somewhat by its flubs.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Living With War
    Living With War is instantly the most incisive and penetrating album that Young has released in years, and it is arguably the most vital of his career.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Spell
    These are songs that should be performed on a rare cabaret stage in a slum.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Ships
    Ships is a brilliant collaboration of the finest indie minds backed by only the best intentions.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Just Like The Fambly Cat
    Just Like the Fambly Cat is appreciably better than its predecessor, but a far cry from the bliss we've all come to expect.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Last Secrets
    The Like Young don't really veer from their predetermined path too often. They diddle around with loops and what-not occasionally like the rest of us, but their vision is singular, dedicated to the sort of buzz-heavy power-pop that's tough to resist.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Denies The Day's Demise
    As something along the lines of throwing an old Pink Panther soundtrack in a blender with a copy of Reason 3, every track on Denies The Day is a scene from a different film you can't quite remember seeing.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    10,000 Days
    I, myself, will likely revisit 10,000 Days for plenty of extended listens, partly because I'm a percussion whore and partly because I want to be able to enjoy it with my Super Metal Friendz. But this is Soy Tool, a rubbery substitute for the real thing.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Shut Up I Am Dreaming
    There are a number of mediocre ideas that are drawn out a bit too long.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Songs From The Year Of Our Demise
    An album of cloudy-day pop that's hard to top.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Pick A Bigger Weapon
    Their liquid funk/R&B/hip-hop hybrid has never been more refined.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Songs And Other Things
    Tom Verlaine has delivered yet another beautiful creation to us.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Around
    Most will find this album unnecessary, even if it's not entirely inconsequential.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Back To The Web
    Elf Power have discarded many of the classic song styles that make their debut so strong, allowing a love of arena/anthem rock to mutate into a lolling interest in marches on later albums, kind of a return to old-world aesthetics that blends a potentially solid band into the grey tapestry of indie rock like so much frizzing wool.
