Musically, this album is well assembled, with stabs of Memphis-style horns, slide guitar and luscious strings--but the lyrics lack deep resonance. [Apr 2011, p.100]- Mojo

Harvey's softly purring voice hardly leaps from the speakers, but his identity is stamped strikingly on Rhymeless, with its malevolent appropriation of "all the songs you never sang to your little ones." [Jun 2011, p.103]- Mojo

The odd sappy lyric is mediated by a resonant Jim James-ish baritone. [Oct 2020, p.94]- Mojo

Revives the windswept drama of Porcupine-vintage Echo & The Bunnymen. [Dec 2004, p.99]- Mojo

The shock of the new has evaporated, but she's subtly evolving and broadening her palette. [Dec 2025, p.78]- Mojo

There are sublime moments - International Women Of Leisure, for instance, and Do You Feel, a homage to first ladies of disco songwriting such as Evelyn King and Gwen Guthrie - but other tracks, though taut and tight, become repetitive. [Mar 2020, p.92]- Mojo

The album sounds squashed and claustrophobic, but lacks the sense of play that still characterises his clever, incident-packed rhymes. [Oct 2007, p.106]- Mojo

Some more like-minded collaborators might raise the temperature. [Feb 2009, p.112]- Mojo

In between strong original songs are arresting covers versions. [Mar 2012, p.92]- Mojo

At its best during the cinematic rock of Coming Home, the epic, plangent Roses and pugilistic opener The Factory Gates. It's less successful on the woozy stomp-alongs of Misery Company and Meanwhile Up in Heaven. [Apr 2014, p.92]- Mojo

Much is intimate and seductive, but Undress emphasizes the feeling Hoop is in a holding pattern which is increasingly hard to escape. [May 2014, p.91]- Mojo

Not the Holy Grail that was promised... But considering what material is present, the set plays like a fairly compelling musical narrative. [Dec 2004, p.120]- Mojo

The twinkling, chaotic, looped intensity of All Graphs Explored is typical of Larry Gus's individual and highly charismatic approach. [Nov 2015, p.89]- Mojo

Herren never lets his music become too easy-going or the listener too settled. [Mar 2006, p.108]- Mojo

Deluxe, post-dance soundscapes from Simon Green's anthropoid alias. [May 2010, p. 97]- Mojo

Opener, the self-referncing 'Better Get to Livin'' is cheesy and disposable even by Nashville standards. The title track, also autobiographical, is better, but like several songs suffers from '80s-style over-production. [June 2008, p.115]- Mojo

A lovely, evocative album on which Stratton's measured approach barely masks underlying tensions. [Apr 2025, p.80]- Mojo

Gleeful scattershot collision between genres and theatrical drama, explored through such epistles as DIE! DIE! DIE!, barked by Pixies' Black Francis. [Aug 2020, p.92]- Mojo

With these less-then-cutting-edge elements Wilson manages to conjure that's diverse and full of drama. [Oct 2009, p.97]- Mojo

Where the remainder deviates, though, is in its lyricism, a good thing, because the beer-boys-in-the-band stance is replaced by only-to-be-encouraged attempts at social comment and a more enlightened approach to gender politics. [May 2011, p.110]- Mojo

It's a tense, grace and often euphoric listening experience that simultaneously lacks the grit, drama and disquiet of their finest work. [Oct 2018, p.91]- Mojo

Each song struggles to reach the three-minute mark, and are all the more enjoyable for it. [Aug 2017, p.97]- Mojo

The group are definitely branching out, but they've not quite reached Zabriskie Point yet. [Nov 2019, p.91]- Mojo

While their writhing, panic-driven noise never fails to excite, sustained across an entire album it makes for an enervating, overwhelming listen, and its hard to discern what substance might lie beneath their bristling, steely carapace. [Dec 2017, p.94]- Mojo

lightning Boogie is as unimaginative as its title, but when they calm down In This Lifetime, they twinkle. [May 2022, p.94]- Mojo

Thankfully Slash doesn't lack guts, tunes, potent solos or giant-slaying riffage. [May 2010, p. 92]- Mojo

Peyroux's best work may happen beyond the perimeter of her comfort zone. [Aug. 2011, p. 96]- Mojo

There's a formlessness to the greater endeavour that ensures it's somehow less than its constituent parts. Still, the likes of subterranean Latin shuffle American Reference possess an invention and mystery that makes this an endlessly fascinating place to get lost. [Apr 2025, p.84]- Mojo
