The Drones whip up a heady storm of garage-bred blues, post-punk intensity and Crazy Horse-style amp overload, in which they couch fevered narratives worthy of Nick Cave. [Nov 2006]- Mojo

Crudely put, it is the sequel to Love And Theft, which is to say that a great deal of it is split between 12-bar treatises about love and lust and croonsome ballads about much the same themes.... That said, it is not quite as sharply focused as that record. [Oct 2006, p.94]- Mojo

[Their] irony is especially trying when it infects the music. [Jul 2006, p.110]- Mojo

Though it's certainly refreshing after the murk of 2002's Evil Heat, the results are still variable. [Jul 2006, p.104]- Mojo

Happy Hollow swings with the nutty abandon of Madness, sharpened with the literate punk frenzy of Fugazi. [Oct 2006, p.104]- Mojo

Every time you think you've got Idlewild figured out, it zips off in a totally unexpected new direction. [Oct 2006, p.97]- Mojo

Though his nervy, nasal singing style can occasionally grate, the songs are redeemed by his breathtaking lyrical precision and eye for detail. [Oct 2006, p.103]- Mojo

Starsailor find themselves in danger of being lumped in with the much-maligned 'Keaneplay' school of emote-u-like guitar rock. Yet judged on their own merits they are still producing the goods. [Nov 2005, p.104]- Mojo

- Critic Score
A rich, bright sounding record, albeit etched with Ward's lyrical ruefulness and voice of crumbling, lugubrious regret. [Oct 2006, p.111]- Mojo

A typical case of slack self-editing... Kelis was here too long, frankly. [Nov 2006, p.101]- Mojo

This is the far meaner, angrier and punkier [of the two post-Libertines albums] [Jun 2006, p.98]- Mojo

Plays like a budget price homage to ELO and early '70s Beach Boys, full of pocket symphonies and childlike wonder. [Jan 2006, p.132]- Mojo

The new, not-so-great English translations hurt more than help. [Jun 2006, p.102]- Mojo

A record designed to ensnare the as-yet-uncommitted listener without abandoning their extant fan base. [Aug 2006, p.103]- Mojo

Highway Companion abounds with Dylanesque first-, second- and third-person stories of rolling stones with no direction home, and how wear and tear is grinding them to a halt. [Sep 2006, p.90]- Mojo

What's most remarkable is just how like the old Dolls this new record sounds. [Aug 2006, p.92]- Mojo

An 11-song set that's melodically insidious and swings like a noose. [Apr 2006, p.90]- Mojo

Multi-layered backing vocals and summery hooks tickle the spine with every listen. [Aug 2006, p.90]- Mojo

Another electrifying statement of unrest from the underground. [Nov 2006, p.118]- Mojo

As with Sufjan Stevens' Illinois, we're dealing with an invigorating, many-faceted work of diverse instrumentation and durability. [Jul 2006, p.106]- Mojo

A typically heartfelt and demonstrative record given to wistful glances backward. [Aug 2006, p.90]- Mojo
