Finds the duo, well, pushing too many of the same buttons.

The results are a selection of high quality that veers between brightly spirited ("Manhole," "Lag Time") and somber ("Callous").

A fine return to form.

A fascinating listen, a psychedelic journey through time and space, where vintage keyboards create a musical dream.

The finest work of this talented individual's solo career thus far.

Being sampled by Lemon Jelly on this astonishing new album is nothing less than an honor.

It's his delivery -- growling, El Camino exhaust-flavored and addictive like old smokes -- that make this crackling debut easy to listen to, if incredibly difficult to file.

At times compelling in its eccentricities, this record emphasizes experimentation rather than tunefulness.

"Different Days" manages to be sleepy without being lazy and sad without being depressing.

A blur of primal guitar stomp wrapped in a menacing swirl of vintage organs and distorted vocals.

The strengths of "All Rise" are understatement and simplicity; while George may not shock you, it's because she never meant to.

If "Trials & Errors" is an advance look at the direction in which Molina is heading, this seems to be a perfect fit for him.

While some songs don't click ("We Ain't" featuring Eminem), "The Documentary" still shapes up as one of the best rap albums of the year thus far.

The album is hampered by needless skits and, at times, too slick production.

The sound is bigger, the playing better, the lyrics sharper and the spirituality more compelling than anything the act has done in many years.

Style trumps substance in Stefani's world, making "Love, Angel, Music, Baby" an ideal guilty pleasure.

A revelatory, emotional listen from start to finish, "With the Lights Out" crystallizes Cobain's tortured genius.

The constant talk of expensive cars, gyrating women and endless parties quickly becomes redundant--and boring.

While that culinary theme and a running subplot consisting entirely of B-movie sound clips threaten to take over the record, Doom's gravelly, off-kilter flow holds the power to bring the gritty, underground hip-hop back into focus.

His voice is beautiful, his phrasing adventurous and his arrangements intense.... But the material could stand a bit of pruning

Snoop Dogg remains as relevant and rambunctious as ever.

Here, there are moments when he entertains us and other times when he doesn't.

Succeeds in cutting John loose so that he sounds like he's doing it because it still matters.

The only problem with this crackling sampler is that it clocks in at just 34 minutes.

While collaborations with the likes of Viktor Duplaix ("Pull Up"), Rahzel ("Out of Breath") and British MC's Darrison ("Time") and Dynamite MC ("No More") provide interesting listens, nothing here is as revolutionary as such Roni Size classics as "New Forms" or Breakbeat Era's "Ultra Obscene."

Tends more toward the "dance" elements of IDM than the "intelligent," reducing UNKLE's trip-hop origins and innovative beats to overdrawn synth wank-fests.

They churn out seriously fun, ballsy rock tunes with a wink and a nod.

The band's addictive hooks and memorable charm are far from dismissive.
