    It's an album which rewards repeat visits, and whose creator sounds more vibrant than a man of his noble vintage has any right to do. [Jun 2025, p.104]

    A deliciously bubbling cauldron seasoned with ladles of Scott Walker melodrama and a generously pinch of Bowie-inspired balladry. [May 2025, p.33]

    It's all high drama, dark figures and wild impulses - hugely entertaining, but when Muphy sings "this is the meaning of my life", you don't doubt it for a second. [Jun 2025, p.86]

    While long-time devotees will undoubtedly find moments to cherish, Silver Shade is a noble effort and a pleasant enough listen, but one that is weighed down by its own dramatic inclinations and will leave you yearning for the deeper shadows and sharper edges of Murphy’s past.
