    As closing track Assagasswar fades out, we are left with a synthetic breeze, the sound of the 21st century Sahara. [Feb 2026, p.89]

    No Name is a much more nuanced record, more of a piece with White’s entire varied discography, than it might have first appeared.

    • 80 Critic Score
    Far from being a doomfest, the music is quite beautiful. [Oct 2005, p.114]

    A free-floating space jazz run at Joni & Mingus's Goodbye Pork Pie Hat is typical of his approachable fusion. [May 2020, p.96]

    There's no arguing with craftsmanship like this. [Jul 2017, p.88]

    Alternative views of some other well-known songs affirm Petty's fundamental strengths as a composer and the Heartbreakers' interpretive flexibility. [Oct 2018, p.98]

    This brilliant, complex and surprising piece proves to be no exercise in getting to know them better. [Oct 2012, p.82]

    Today it sounds quintessentially McCartney. [Jun 2012, p.100]

    • 86 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An attractive ad hoc vibe pervades these seven longish songs, partially recorded live: a DIY futurism, all tinfoil and stick-backed plastic, that harks back to Pulp's early '90s. [Jun 2020, p.92]

    • 80 Critic Score
    Old and new, sweet and sharp, Welcome strangers holds you in an ambiguous, but utterly enchanting, embrace. [Jun 2018, p.90]

    Ford still has a country rasp to her voice, but doesn't over-sing, and her method of expressing emotion is deft rather than melodramatic. she can build up power, too. [Mar 2020, p.87]

    The overall message is of gentle positivity. [Nov 2020, p.80]

    It’s this ease and connection that gives When I’m Called its cumulative power. [Aug 2024, p.86]

    LP1
    LP1 is a hugely self-possessed debut, the work of an artist whose vision--not only her visual sense--is strong. [Sep 2014, p.89]
    • Mojo
    • 86 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Nourishing batch of beat collages. [May 2021, p.88]

    • 86 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Seductive, stirring songs about crushed hope and the corruption of beauty and some of their most ambitious arrangements make this their most fully-realised and accomplished album yet. [Mar 2003, p.98]

    Good album, clever guy. [Jun 2011, p.100]

    Matt Maltese's second album persists with velveteen schmaltzy AOR; like yacht rock on a budget. His graceful croon, though, is more jaded this time, combining with the hollowed-out production for a deluxe dose of remorse. [Jan 2020, p.84]

    • 80 Critic Score
    Occasionally, they favour the billowy and formless- Waving A Whit Flag goes nowhere, albeit moodily - but their best tracks showcase Yorke's song most transparently; Panavision and Free In the Knowledge are two of his loveliest in years. [Jul 2022, p.90]

    The Shaggs couldn't play, they could barely sing and their songs are rudimentary, but you won't hear many records with such heartfelt authenticity of feeling. [Oct 2016, p.107]

    It's a miracle that anyone can sustain such quality songwriting over such a prolific output. [Apr 2025, p.83]

    We should've seen this one coming. And still it's a gut punch. [Sep 2018, p.89]

    Earle has let the spook out of the closet, so he can bare his spiritual chest (as it were) with a Lennonesque honesty and a vocal delivery that increasingly resembles Tom Petty's sub-Dylan sneer.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Conjunto, corrido and jazz emerge from and mingle with R&B and pop as the band follow the story from innocent beginnings to the tragic, bitter end. [Jul 2005, p.98]

    • 80 Critic Score
    His delievry now possesses a wry, self-deprecating warmth which, along with Mitchell Froom and Lenny Waronker's unobtrusive production, suggests a man coming to terms with it all and who realises he's as much a part of this mess as anyone. [Sep 2008, p.110]
