    • 80 Critic Score
    A second album every bit as upbeat, funny and furious as their eponymous 2006 debut. [Apr 2008, p.105]

    • 60 Critic Score
    For every shallow, Banks stirs up a hidden depth. [Nov 2016, p.90]

    Mostly loose and warm more than heart-stopping. [Apr 2006, p.104]

    Passionoia doesn't quite match [The Facts of Life], but the best bits are immaculate. [Mar 2003, p.109]

    • 70 Critic Score
    This is accessible, if sometimes austere, modern electronica, distinguished by passages of unmitigated prettiness. [May 2003, p.108]

    #1
    Winds the clock back to a mid-'80s electro-soundworld in which melodies are crafted alongside beats, rather than crushed by them, and the tinkle of a keyboard carries a sinister air of mystery. [Mar 2002, p.104]
    • Mojo
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Occasionally gestures towards greatness, but remains earthbound for the most part. [Sep 2003, p.112]

    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An extended groove workout, akin to Erykah Badu's Worldwide Underground EP. [Jan 2004, p.102]

    • 60 Critic Score
    Conor Oberst regroups with the band that made him. [March 2011, p. 94]

    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    If the album's (mostly) feral guitars and off-mike whoops conjure a band keen to re-harness the pluck of 2003's Youth & young Manhood, in places, the enormodome-courting trappings of recent years linger on. [Oct 2013, p.94]

    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Some structural confusion aside, it's easy to embrace his Johnny-Flynn-does-indie songs. [Oct 2015, p.98]

    An unfussy affair. [Jun 2005, p.108]

    Though her fellow Willies may not possess her audience-pulling ability, they lack nothing in the way of talent. [Feb 2012, p.94]

    The album ebbs and flows with a winning fluidity. [Sep 2017, p.86]

    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Even where Sounds Of The Universe resembles a self-help manual, it does so with commanding tunes and a ring of truth. [May 2009, p.102]
    • Mojo
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Any goth undertow is easily outweighed by post-rock grandeur. [Nov 2004, p.95]
    • Mojo
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Brion's 3/4 step-step micro-cues--for Greta Gerwig's perfect comedy drama--come with the necessary sprinkling of inexplicable sadness. [Apr 2018, p.89]

    • 60 Critic Score
    Some of the 22 tracks teeter on the edge of pure corn. [May 2026, p.86]

    She's clearly still diamond sharp, with a larynx to match. [Aug 2009, p.103]

    Pretty road ruminations. [Jul 2015, p.96]

    There are good songs here, but it sometimes sounds like Sheryl is trying too hard to turn back the clock. [Jun 2017, p.87]
    • Mojo
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    He delivers another strange and beautiful record, retooling is soporific folk sound with synths and experimental soundscapes. [Apr 2021, p.81]

    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's good to hear him outfront, vivid, quirky, and unconfined. [Feb 2012, p.95]

    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Creativity sometimes croaks when domestic bliss walks in, but not here. [Sep 2010, p.96]

    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Grace only had 10 songs, and though it seems tiresome to sit through multiple live versions of 'So Real,' the title song, 'Hallelujah' et al, it's not. [Aug 2009, p.118]
    • Mojo
    • 69 Metascore

    Soulful, moving music. [Apr 2012, p.91]

    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Ultimately, it's the combined sound of - there's no getting away from the word - ethereal vocals and cavernous, sometimes even martial dance rock that appeals rather than the detail. [Apr 2012, p.86]
    • Mojo
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Windy City is a rather safe album. [Apr 2017, p.90]

    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    He wastes half his solo debut dishing out second rate filler. Thankfully, his true colours shine through on I Still Wanna, Raid and Trouble On My Mind ... although they're frustrating glimpses of a potent artist coasting too readily on past glories. [Jan 2012, p.99]
