He sounds like a man lost amid his own vast record collection. [June 2003, p.109]- Uncut

- Critic Score
The music, though lithe and limber in a jazz-fusion-funk bag, lacks melodic distinction, while the vocals are delivered in a variety of electronically treated styles that are irritating at first and increasingly so on repeated exposures. [Feb 2002, p.125]- Uncut

- Critic Score
This treads the thin line between appealing whimsy and finicky, smartypants noodling. [Jun 2007, p.111]- Uncut
-
- Critic Score
Too often there's a pileup of overwrought, over-long ballads that struggle to make headway. [Jan 2005, p.121]- Uncut

This eponymous effort does little to dispel the notion that he's a bit of a swaggering caricature. [Jan 2002, p.142]- Uncut

Even a nice take-off of moody Pharrell-style R&B, "Gangsters Want To Cuddle Me", and a rap by Adam Green can't save Dark Touches from being fairly irritating. [Nov 2009, p. 88]- Uncut

Based around some laughably accurate and truly entertaining pastiches of artists including Bjork, Bowie and the Pixies, the rest of the album is pure filler. [Aug 2003, p.100]- Uncut

Coombes and Goffey undoubtedly had fun romping through "Queen Bitch," or tackling "(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party)" in the style of The Zombie, but you'll never play this album more than once. [Apr 2010, p.91]- Uncut

Basically Big Talk is how The Killers might sound if, rather than combining Bruce Springsteen and the Pet Shop Boys, they settle for blending Kings of Leon with ELO. [Sep 2011, p.79]- Uncut

This is too timid for modern R&B, too bland to rival Blige, and won't halt the sharp decline since 2003's "Rock Wit U." [Sep 2008, p.110]- Uncut

Their latest was recorded in Berlin and Iceland, with whichever musicians were around at the time, lending Newcombe's whacked-out psychedelia cum space/drone rock a stoned-jam feel that doesn't always work to the songs' advanatge. [Apr 2010, p.83]- Uncut

- Critic Score
It's primitive, geezerish stuff but lacks, say, the finesse and humour of contemporary Mike Skinner's work. [Oct 2005, p.112]- Uncut

Coming from a former punk goof, all this sentimentality feels somewhat po-faced. [Jul 2006, p.84]- Uncut

There's a flightiness that lends the album a showreel quality. [Apr 2005, p.97]- Uncut

- Critic Score
Preparations smudges the distinction between Herren's Prefuse 73 and Savath & Savalas aliases, and shares with Golden Pollen, his summer S&S release, a listless drift. [Dec 2007, p.101]- Uncut

This is pretty gloomy going, not rendered much easier by the lugubrious baritone in which Beck delivers his emotional autopsies, or the vague, amorphous melodies. [Nov 2002, p.116]- Uncut

Their brand of gut-wrenching emo, aligned to fearsome fantasy rock remains both wildly overcooked and deeply derivative. [Jun 2013, p.79]- Uncut

A collection of vanilla indie-pop that paints a portrait of a group clinging on rather than pushing forward. [Jul 2013, p.73]- Uncut

Little more than a bunch of B-sides in search of a point. [Mar 2004, p.87]- Uncut

This seems geared for maximum market penetration rather than songwriting excellence. [Jan 2008, p.91]- Uncut

His cluttered beatscapes suggest random sounds in search of a meaning. [Mar 2006, p.103]- Uncut

The Pigeon Detectives' second in a year smacks of too much haste and too little thought. [June 2008, p.98]- Uncut
