    Elixer
    Elixer is at least a more pleasant listen; ignore the Prince mystique and it's a collection of reasonably well-turned pop ballads.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Songs from the Sparkle Lounge
    Fans looking for an air-guitar gurning masterclass may be disappointed.

    One Of The Boys
    Ultimately, its a fun teen party album. Just don't call it girl power.
    • 47 Metascore

    Double Bubble
    They're not quite back to those heady 'Connected' days, but the Stereos still have a mesmeric knack of making music bounce like a rubber ball.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Wilderness
    Brett Anderson has reached a creative menopause.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Pull The Pin
    A brave new direction it isn't.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Earth To The Dandy Warhols
    Their sixth album (and the first on their own label) is their most self-assured set yet, veering from sparkling glam to funky New Orleans boogie by way of early Nineties shoegazing.

    My Conscience And I
    Unquestionably, it would have been better still had the songs been layered with a little less sugar.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Cosmos Rocks
    What an astronomically bad parallel universe. Queen's star is dead.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    And Then Boom
    On the one hand, it's riotously good fun; on the other, it's a bit naff.
