    This ambitious record loses subtlety in the grand Springsteen-ish gestures of songs like Just For Tonight. Bay fares better with the looped, crunchy soul and more nuanced lyrics of Fade Out and Slide. [Jun 2018, p.95]

    Several songs here feel swamped. [Nov 2020, p.88]

    They've created a splendidly polite fusion of Fleetwood Mac and the Cocteau Twins. [Sep 2013, p.86]

    • 60 Critic Score
    The album is a great showcase for the Fontaines D.C. guitarist's production skills, which makes even occasionally inert material punchy and dynamic. [Mar 2026, p.81]

    • 60 Critic Score
    The faithful can still but with confidence--these are polished performances--but others may weary of a long journey round past glories. [Feb 2017, p.96]

    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    In total, a pleasant, charm-filled release but no great addition to the Nelson canon. [Feb 2015, p.95]

    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It all becomes a bit of a grind--and not entirely in a sexy way. [Aug 2008, p.103]

    • 60 Critic Score
    On 'North London Trash,' 'Burberry Blue Eyes,' 'Hostage Of Love' and the histrionic 'Blood For Wild Blood,' Razorlight have matured beyond bubblegum rock and may yet answer Borrell's prayers for immortality. [Dec 2008, p.100]

    Cleverly, it mixes them [stadium rock and Celtic roots] both. [Mar 2012, p.99]
    • Mojo
    • 80 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A change in direction, with a consciously smooth production and modern drum sound apparently aimed more at FM radio than wind-up gramophones, leaving precious few rough edges. [Jul 2017, p.94]

    • 54 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Though this debut might lack any real moments of surprise, guitarist Tom Morello still manages to squeeze unholy sounds out of his instrument while Chuck D's apoplectic anchorman baritone reminds us of his lyrical power and unique timbre. [Oct 2017, p.96]
    • Mojo
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    When Goddard himself provides vocals – notably on Follow You and On My Mind – it adds necessary cohesion. [Aug 2024, p.83]
    • Mojo
    • 79 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Wistful alt pop gets an ample glug of electro groove and distinct hints of '80s cheese comfortably reinforce Austin William's hazy vocals. [Oct 2015, p.98]

    • 60 Critic Score
    Strip away the wearying kung-fu skits and there'a s hard-boiled 12-tracker at The Saga Continues' core. [Dec 2017, p.90]
    • Mojo
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Over 24 songs they constantly tremble on the brink of collapse yet they also manage to turn in such laser-guided songs as You Can Stay But You Gotta Go and Double Deuce. [Oct 2013, p.96]

    There is room in the world for such quaint records as these, but the world doesn't need another version of the Eagles' Take It Easy. [Mar 2019, p.91]
    • Mojo
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Lyrically, he may occassionally jar but it's hard not to be uplifted when he lets rip on the opener 'Setting Forth' or when he and Sleather-Kinney's Corin Tucker chime on 'Hard Sun.' [Dec 2007, p.100]

    • Mojo
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    While there is an absorbing, hypnotic quality to droning songs like Twilight Zone, the exceptional thrash of We're Tired Of It offers proof that a few more gear changes would have been welcome. [Apr 2018, p.91]
    • Mojo
    • 80 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Albanese's piano plus synths and cello soundtrack near-darkness in pensive, drifting instrumentals. [Apr 2016, p.96]

    • 60 Critic Score
    It throws up its fair share of sunshine treats. ... Consumed in one siting though, the relentlessly Day-Glo vibes can get a little sickly. [Aug 2021, p.81]

    • 60 Critic Score
    For all of its gentle yet intense reflection, it's never overtly maudlin. [Mar 2012, p.92]
    • Mojo
    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Drawing elements from both [previous albums], Horses And High Heels is a similarly accomplished if more playful affair. [Apr 2011, p.94]

    • 60 Critic Score
    It's Converge's energy that impresses first, their brutal, full-blooded fury, the sheer physical assault; listen closer, however, and you'll find a group as inventive and progressive in their riffage as Slayer or Metallica at their early apex, a compulsive complexity to their chaos. [Feb 2010, p. 100]
