The Complete Budokan 1978 is a richer picture of this restless nerve at work. [Jan 2024, p.101]- Mojo

This is a very traditional U2 album, the sort of album people want U2 to make. [Dec 2004, p.96]- Mojo

An album of gauzily reflective--but engrossingly atmospheric--pieces. [Nov 2005, p.108]- Mojo

At times, it's almost too tasteful a refinement of her work.... Yet there are some fabulous moments from both sides of Harvey's brain. [Jun 2004, p.100]- Mojo

It's Thornton Wilder's Our Town divested of optimism, yet retaining that play's twilight feel. [Aug 2012, p.86]- Mojo

This is music for interiors, sequestered days in tune with the beauty of our immediate surroundings. [Dec 2020, p.85]- Mojo

When they crank out breathless melodic euphoria like Darkened Rings, originality seems a pointless objective anyway. [Feb 2017, p.98]- Mojo

Songs with fuller backing reveal much melodic moxie. [May 2016, p.96]- Mojo

Almost three decades into their journey, age has only emboldened them. [Jul 2009, p.99]- Mojo

This first widely available release is a superb distillation of the duo's talents. [Dec 2008, p.112]- Mojo

It's the resulting acoustic simplicity of his songwriting that makes this collection such a treat. [Jul 2012, p.101]- Mojo

While the production still feels ill-judged, there are some crackling tracks. [Jun 2016, p.92]- Mojo

That he is reunited with producer Mitchell Froom only partly accounts for the likeness this album shares with his '90s work. [Jun 2006, p.111]- Mojo

Like other recent albums, this is not consistent enough to be classic Wilson but her voice still regularly seduces. [July 2008, p.109]- Mojo

He has created a wooded lattice of crackling guitar and dusky electronica. [Jun 2012, p.87]- Mojo

Sinewy. ... Lines brings a clear echo of mid-period Pink Floyd to the table. [Mar 2022, p83]- Mojo

They're also practitioners of the ancient art form of popcraft, constructing tight, clever confections then working with longtime co-producer Pat Dillett to ensure the hooks are delivered cleanly and efficiently. They remain funny, too. [Jun 2026, p.88]- Mojo
