    Overall 'Dross Glop' may please and frustrate in equal measures.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An honest and admirable collection that merits some attention.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An engaging album devoid of stagnancy.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Stuffed with bomb-ass beats and rhymes that will bang from Cali to Darlington.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Imbued with a rupturing rave-punk sensibility.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A mystical brew of funk, gospel and delta rock.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Expansive and exploratory, powerful and hymnal.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    First Serve holds no fear for newcomers, consolidates their legacy, and deserves at least one encore.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    [Wonky has] not improved on any of their previous work. They are merely chasing the shadows cast from their own trademarked head torches.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    At times it's testing, but there are flashes of phenomenal creative genius here that are destined to manifest further.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Yes, there are 'Did she really do that?' moments... But'MDNA' is mostly filled with moments when listening to Madonna still feels like the most thrilling thing any pop fan could possibly hope to experience.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    This is an album self-assured in its odd-ball-ness, yet confident enough to step out into territories typically less habitual to it's maker.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    [The album] adds - for the most part - a more expansive dimension to their sound.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A quality accompaniment and memorial.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A+E
    What one quickly realises is that this is an accomplished record.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    This is a powerful reminder of the pair's quite brilliant lunacy.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's far from perfect - 'Ghost Note' sounds horribly like Skrillex in places - but there [are] enough interesting sonic detours to suggest that these agitators of sound are more than just another over-hyped gimmick band.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A quality accompaniment and memorial.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Studio gloss and sanitised drums too often leave things sounding a little safe.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It's got piles of ideas, some biting M.I.A.-style hooks, and all the grimy vibrancy of a night out in Soweto.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's a gorgeous example of an album bursting with huge, dreamy songs.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Dragged down by a excess of melodrama, with some cutting and a dash of pop sensibilities The Jezabels would have a stone cold classic.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    This is an absolute treat for fans of rootsy vintage soul and a remarkable statement of intent for a debut release.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    This new full-length suggests that while Nedry haven't quite found their way there yet, the journey should be fascinating.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's a joy.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The songwriting and hyper-futurism made easy are a case of Smart by name.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A gigantic album.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    More Transworld Sport than Chariots Of Fire.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Some may find 'Visions' consistently eschews the same ground of super slick, layered vocals over chrome digital structures but this reductive palette of sonics hears the album fly towards its peak of 'Nightmusic' - a collaboration with Majical Cloudz that is camouflaged electro pop that'll keep you muttering for months.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    When they're good, they are glorious and their enthusiasm is infectious, this band thrive when live but perhaps there's a little too much padding filling the, er, void.
