It might be easy to criticise 'Those The Brokes' as a stab at busting through into the MOR mainstream, but it's fairer to see it as The Magic Numbers developing their expression while staying faithful to their core sound, and quiet charm.- Playlouder

This album is fucking brilliant – it made me want to cut my hair, paint the ceiling, fuck the postman and burn the disco down. So I did. Then I curled up in a corner, cried, and shat myself.- Playlouder

The band have colonised the rich turf at the intersection of meticulously structured mope-rock and free-flowing three-chord pop, where moments of resignation cosy up alongside twinkling hopes for the future like Winehouse to the sauce.- Playlouder

Yes, it's the relentless energy, humour and versatility which makes this record stand out and apparently their albums are merely incidental compared to their stunning live shows.- Playlouder

The album is closer to the thrash end of their style then the folk, and the music reflects the anger in the songs brilliantly.- Playlouder

As White Stripes albums go, 'Icky Thump' is a goodie, and there's no resting on of laurels either.- Playlouder

One trick pony's they may arguably be, but they've done the same trick twice and pulled it off.- Playlouder

The good news is that for a bunch of brats they're well in control of the complex, riddling, labyrinthine structures that go toward making the perfect pop punk songs.- Playlouder

Anyone expecting any of the more experimental tangential qualities of the German group will be disappointed, as will anyone expecting intense lyrical workouts from Smith. Instead we have an extremely convincing whistlestop tour round current electronic music with a partially deranged, completely eccentric lexicographer raving brilliantly over the top.- Playlouder

There's nothing quite as immediate or fantastic as 'Disposable Teens' here, but the album on the whole is a triumph.- Playlouder

Well as befits such a completely uncompromising visionary/awkward pain in the arse (delete one if you can be bothered) it veers between the preposterously awful 'Genuine Lullabelle' with its bewildering spoken word passages and the awesome wire taut assault of 'Be Prepared'.- Playlouder

This is not just an album that can be appreciated by fans of the avant-garde, pop and rock alike but a genuine fuck you to the people claiming modern music has nowhere left to go.- Playlouder

Their brilliance lies in writing the crassest, most obvious, lowbrow hooks.- Playlouder

As good as 'Tio Bitar' is, it's actually a weaker album than 'Ta Det Lungt' in some respects.- Playlouder

It's in the vein of 'Debut' in terms of songwriting but there are a lot more samples of foghorns on this record.- Playlouder

The confident arrangements throughout 'No Shouts, No Calls' are the finest Electrelane have yet committed to tape.- Playlouder

'Everything Last Winter' is a record by a band blithely unconcerned about any perceptions of cool.- Playlouder

Akin to Bowie's 'Hunky Dory', in its senseless but brilliant eclecticism.- Playlouder

Unassuming, unpretentious and totally listenable too, this is thirteen songs and fifty minutes that might just make her famous.- Playlouder

'5:55' is a welcome addition to the Gainsbourg family's musical legacy, and we can't give any higher compliment than that.- Playlouder

Anyone expecting something similar to his early doom-laden musings will find nothing of the sort here.- Playlouder

The album sees the band moving on from the Libertines-aping chord structures of their debut and pushing in new directions.- Playlouder
