Calling Bloodsports a comeback album almost seems to belittle just how strong a record it really is; it’s nearly as good as any they’ve put out before.- Posted Mar 15, 2013

It's all keyboards to the fore, their lightness lifting the album on to a wave of euphoria that gives Mars' vocals a dreamlike quality; this is less the Williamsburg house party of previous albums, instead a festival in a trance. [Mar-Apr 2013, p.94]- Posted Apr 1, 2013

Initially intending to discard the songs he wrote during that [dark] period, he instead salvaged many of them, which serve as something of a spiritual cleanse on the staggering Monomania.- Posted May 10, 2013

In the first half especially the format of fast song/slow song/fast song/slow song is adhered to a little too rigidly and, while the individual tracks are fantastic, it feels a little disjointed.- Posted May 17, 2013

Leo has proven himself a songwriter of intricacy and experiment, but what he's created with Shake the Sheets are not just songs. They are mantras. [#8, p.110] -

Critic Score 80
The band's melodies continue to be undeniable, but when guitar solos are added to the mix, the combination is electric. [#9] -

There is real emotion and beauty to be found in her yearning. [#7] -

Critic Score 80
If 1992's Dirty caught the grunge zeitgeist, Nurse might capture something of indie rock's recent taste for emotional epics. [#7] -

Critic Score 80
The Mars Volta has created the antithesis of ATDI, leaving behind any formula or typicality. What they kept was the fire, the fury, and the passion. [#5, p.107] -

Critic Score 80
Brett's arrangements are usually dead-on, emphasizing the acoustic guitar and vocals while accenting with an organ or singing saw. [#5, p.113] -

Any fans of Jewel turned off by her recent pop conversion should find some solace, and even some better tunes, in Leona Naess. [#5, p.114] -

Critic Score 80
A kaleidoscopic dance record that borrows a bit from Remedy and Rooty but... has a labyrinthine identity all its own. [#5, p.98] -

Critic Score 80
BSP are in a league of their own -- a young band with an arsenal of ideas, the brains to pull them off and the guts to let them loose into the world. [#5, p.98] -

Critic Score 80
Hocus Pocus is comprised of simple, beautiful songs, humbly Enon with all aspects of their trademark bite of irony, sarcasm, fondness and regret. [#5, p.101] -

Bouncy punk, bluesy rock and boozy pop: this is the real Graham Coxon. [#7] -

A quirkier, more electro-indie version of Bright Eyes, maybe; but super emotional and lovelorn, most definitely. [#5, p.101] -

Critic Score 80
The band has evolved, as all great bands should, by expanding their style and weaving different elements and moods into their music, resulting in a darker and more serious pop sound. [#7] -

Amazing Grace is loud, dirty, sloppy, and crude. But it rocks hard. [#5, p.103] -

Critic Score 80
Simple, straightforward rhymes over fuzzed-out, good-time beats, mixed with acoustic guitar, Casio keyboards and handclaps. [#7] -

While One Plus One Is One fails to fully capture the charm of his debut, it comes close. [#7] -

Unless you are severely depressed the laggard pace of this record will make it very hard to sit through. Yet each track is delightfully insteresting in its own right. [#5, p.100] -

Broadcast might be the most fully realized electronic band out there. [#5, p.105] -
