As Her Loss abandons 21’s form of smack talk as a playful, revelatory exercise, its tone shifts to Drake’s toxic petulance. ... There’s a gloominess this time around, and it’s not just the sloppy sequencing and hit-or-miss quality that ranges from clear standouts like “Pussy & Millions,” where the so-called “treacherous twins” team up with Travis Scott, to aimless dross like “Major Distribution.” ... Singular misfire.- Rolling Stone

Gunna has a flashy and intoxicating vocal style, and that alone DS4 a worthy escapade. But he can’t transcend the clichés that define his era.- Rolling Stone

Offers the same disco-metal dreck he's been peddling for 30 years. [Mar 2021, p.73]- Rolling Stone

Rossdale’s voice becomes a distraction when it overpowers the group’s wooshy guitar textures. But mostly Bush’s biggest sin is going back to the same well again and again hoping to find something new, something vital but coming up emptyhanded.- Rolling Stone

There are punk, country and EDM experiments that sound like Nineties novelty act the Bloodhound Gang without the jokes.- Rolling Stone

Her attempt at breaking out as a solo artist has been rocky--lead single "Cannonball" sank like one--and this album of insta-dated EDM-pop anthems and half-cocked bass drops probably won't help her cause.- Rolling Stone

No matter what mode they’re in, they manage to turn four-minute songs into small eternities.- Rolling Stone

The Papercut Chronicles II is the year's most charmless album, 11 punishingly dull rock-rap tunes with hooks that would've sounded dated a decade ago.- Rolling Stone

It's all pummeling, vacuous rave noise--useful mainly for thrash dancing and scaring neighbors.- Rolling Stone

T.O.S. would simply be a middling posse record if it didn't further undermine its own cred by constantly referencing better rap songs.- Rolling Stone

On this South African band's third album, the guitar tones are a teeth-grinding, digitized-sounding nightmare, and a series of I'm-singing-through-a-cell-phone vocal filters can't disguise how played out Morgan's style is.- Rolling Stone

The second album... is miles worse than their shallow but tasty first, its big-budget production only making its shortcomings more apparent. [21 Sep 2006, p.88]- Rolling Stone

Whether it's a fuck-you to fans who scoffed at 2003's synth-poppy Welcome to the Monkey House or a vindictive fulfillment of their contractual obligation to Capitol Records, this crap smells bad any way you sniff it.- Rolling Stone

Qualifies as cruel and unusual cuteness.... It's as if Jimmy Fallon and David Gray had a baby, suckled by Edie Brickell and diapered by the Spin Doctors.- Rolling Stone
