    • 60 Critic Score
    Folky, fragile songs and others built on washes of guitar effects. [Apr 2013, p.98]

    • 80 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    They've delivered their biggest surprise to date. A record that falls short for its constituent parts. [May 2011, p.100]

    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Coffey's new solo album is split 50/50 between space-funk rock guitar features and more grounded tracks as he becomes the servant of singers on five of the 11 tracks here. [Jun 2011, p.106]
    • Mojo
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Bumpy at times, but worth the effort. [Jun 2013, p.92]

    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The mood is authentically heavy but the impact is strangely light. [June 2010, p. 104]

    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A certain rock'n'roll energy is lacking. .... Think: transitional. [Jun 2024, p.86]
    • Mojo
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Isaak, whose singing voice is naturally full and resonant, is most at home with the Presley tunes... but the Lewis and Perkins homages don't quite add up. [Jan 2012, p.91]
    • Mojo
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The pair's lack of ambition might eventually grate but listen to this on your own on a rainy Sunday, with the thermostat set on 25 and its hallucinatory qualities might well invade your being.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Though the detail in these blurred vignettes sometimes upstages the foreground, the moments of magic make the odd longueur worth enduring. [Sep 2004, p.95]
    • Mojo
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It still feels a bit hammy. [Jul 2013, p.96]
    • Mojo
    • 77 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Although still rooted in rockabilly terra firma, with cameos from the likes of Nashville groovester Aaron Lee Tasjan, McPherson's horizon has never sounded so open. [Nov 2017, p.102]
    • Mojo
    • 76 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Stereo Mind Game certainly sustains an atmosphere, but it's a brooding and bleak one, and at times the darkness of Daughter's dream-pop can feel a bit suffocating. [Jun 2023, p.85]
    • Mojo
    • 81 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Hushed, understated psychedelia and Laurel Canyon-influenced LP. [Mar 2020, p.95]
    • Mojo
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The result is a trifle confusing. [Dec 2012, p.85]
    • Mojo
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A diverting, stoner-friendly 39 minutes. [Dec 2014, p.89]
    • Mojo
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Rambling, stoner guitar and drifting synths elevated by radiant percussion. [Dec 2012, p.96]
    • Mojo
    • 79 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Without the accompanying visuals, Ugly Season makes most sense when there's a vocal to centre it. [Aug 2022, p.86]
    • Mojo
    • 77 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Tribal, jazzy, at times doom-laden, After The Flood is undoubtedly the darkest moment in Kuepper's long and storied career. [May 2025, p.89]
    • Mojo
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Odd, occasionally unsettling, always memorable. [Mar 2015, p.97]
    • Mojo
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There are some lovely moments. ... But ultimately, the impossible ambition of Planetarium looms over every single moment. [Aug 2017, p.89]
    • Mojo
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Finely etched narratives telltales of aging wunderkinds and tragic figures, the deeds of those famed and flawed, while the music moves in manifold directions, from powerpop to scuzz rock to alt country. [Jun 2011, p.106]
    • Mojo
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There's enough bittersweet emotion to ensure his own personality seeps through. [Jul 2015, p.96]
    • Mojo
    • 76 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The bluesiest tracks are best (Beat The Drum; Witness). [Oct 2019, p.92]
    • Mojo
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The feel is antique and wearily repetitive. Only the sexed up Wicked Way and the deft and tender Little Pixie, about her baby daughter, offer any light and shade. [Jul 2014, p.92]
    • Mojo
    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    One of the most bizarre covers albums ever. [Dec 2004, p.102]
    • Mojo
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Tense, rewarding, avant-garde jousting abounds. [Nov 2019, p.96]
    • Mojo
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    By turns, it's both sublime and downright ridiculous. [Oct 2005, p.116]
    • Mojo
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Just in time for autumn, more summery surf rock by Hawaii's second favorite son. [Oct 2013, p.98]
    • Mojo
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    This new nightmare falls short of the original, with several songs misfiring. [Nov 2011, p.93]
    • Mojo
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Find A Light breaks down the distance between dexterous Southern rock and country brilliantly on songs like Best Seat In The House and Run Away From It All. If they have a weakness this time around, it's occasional lapses in quality control. [May 2018, p.91]
