    He also works hard to bring variety within the gargantuan two-and-a-half-hour running time with an all-star guest list. [Jan 2016, p.89]

    • 60 Critic Score
    The whole thing is deeply marketable--but there's an authenticity in Rogers that needs more space to breathe. [Feb 2019, p.92]

    • 60 Critic Score
    The current group are concentrated, powerful, more subtle than in recent times but can sound a bit tidy and foursquare. [Apr 2015, p.96]

    Only a slight dearth of killer melodies ... disappoints. [Apr 2012, p.86]

    • 60 Critic Score
    There is no doubt that Ditto can command the attention, but these songs don't quite sweeten the deal enough. [Jul 2017, p.89]

    Hauff gives you the feeling that there's something very wrong, and leaves you to make up your own nasty stories. [Oct 2015, p.96]
    • Mojo
    • 78 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's great credit to both Lund and his versatile backing bad, The Hurtin' Albertans, that such see-sawing through genres can sound so much like a singular piece of work. [Dec 2015, p.93]
    • Mojo
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    If the phosphorus-hot psychedelia of their first Hexadic record was too much for some ears, this subtly chance-infused union of magick and method should prove more inviting. [Jan 2016, p.90]
    • Mojo
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A coffee table record. [Jun 2007, p.114]

    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Intended as a chilly-pastoral instrumental cycle for piano, three cellos and string quartet, but Los Angles sound designer Jennifer Pague pitched lyrics for four tracks and a more personal narrative took shape, evoking solitude and morbidity. [Jun 2020, p. 93]
    • Mojo
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Alice still makes Marilyn Manson sound like Mickey Mouse. {Sep 2008, p.112]
    • Mojo
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's quite a departure from their trademark psychedelia. [Apr 2015, p.98]
    • Mojo
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Three or four candidates for an updated greatest hits package is not a bad hit rate. [Apr 2012, p.94]
    • Mojo
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Close To The Glass is full of charming, understated yearning. [Apr 2014, p.94]
    • Mojo
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Although the listener doesn't expect dynamics in this kind of music, there is little variation in either its colour and timbre. [Aug 2020, p.89]
    • Mojo
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The musical density doesn't quite complement the elegiac lyrical flow, and a change of pace might have meant another way forward, but there's tenderness to spare. [Feb 2022, p.90]
    • Mojo
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Best savoured as a whole, a magical mystery of Pollard's pop-obsessed, haphazardly-filed subconscious. [Feb 2006, p.107]
    • Mojo
    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Sex Change continues their move away from arena bombast towards streamlined Euro grooves. [Mar 2007, p.103]

    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    This trick of balancing heavy and light serves Mercury well. [Jul 2022, p.88]
    • Mojo
    • 76 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It lacks the gargantuan personality and all-encompassing throaty bark of FU's leader Damian Abraham to give it a USP, but Falco, as frontman, does a decent job of stamping his own marker. [Jul 2020, p.84]
    • Mojo
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The singer's second solo album is far removed from VR's ass-kicking hard rock. [Feb 2009, p.108]
    • Mojo
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    II
    At it's best, II packs a winning, sun-scorched lethargy. [Jun 2017, p.88]
    • Mojo
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Occasionally overwrought but never dull. [Sep 2017, p.96]
    • Mojo
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Amazing Snakeheads have delivered an album bristling with unapologetic rock'n'roll invective. [Jun 2014, p.91]
    • Mojo
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Gentle, Andrew Bird-style ballads bump alongside histrionic prog pop and four-to-the-floor beats on Ritalin-phased second LP. [Jun 2014, p.98]
    • Mojo
    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    If you're mad enough to be planning a Breaking Bad-themed barbecue you've just found the perfect soundtrack. [Sep 2016, p.90]

    • 60 Critic Score
    Blood proves to be another mixed bag. [Aug 2015, p.92]

    • 60 Critic Score
    This radiantly executed effort is also, curiously, Childish Gambino's most anonymous. [Feb 2017, p.92]]
    • Mojo
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Fate Of The faithful is ostensibly No Quarter, Meeting The Master is Thank You, and The Falling Sky cribs a Robert Plant-style harp solo so perfectly that GVF can likely taste his spit. Be in no doubt, however, that frontman Josh Kiszka's Olympian wail can part the waves of cynicism and make the scales fall from your eyes. [Sep 2023, p.88]
