    It's breathless stuff, but can feel homogenous after a while. [Apr 2014, p.98]
    • Mojo
    • 64 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    As with its predecessor, 2006's Continuum, not a note, not a breadth, is wasted--and the playing, from a crack team including Pino Palladino, Steve Jordan and Ian McLagan, is unfussily superb throughout. [Jan 2010, p. 90]
    • Mojo
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's less effective on the bland troubadour pop of Here Today and The Man, which samples Elton John's Your Song and is already a US Top 5 hit. [May 2014, p.92]

    [Introducing] contains her best songs and most relaxed, assured performances. [May 2007, p.112]

    • 80 Critic Score
    No one could have predicted Endless Wire would be quite this good. [Nov 2006, p.98]
    • Mojo
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    This Giorgio Moroder-soundtracking-Black Mirror approach isn't always successful. ... The slick AOR of Something Human suggests their decision to move away from riff-rock isn't wholly misjudged. [Dec 2018, p.84]
    • Mojo
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    You know how it sounds: the same as ever. [Oct 2008, p.110]
    • Mojo
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Folky, fragile songs and others built on washes of guitar effects. [Apr 2013, p.98]
    • Mojo
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's not perfect by any means, and having two of the weakest tracks in pole positions doesn't help. [May 2002, p.98]
    • Mojo
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Like most homage platters, the affair is only as strong as its weakest moments. [Nov 2002, p.113]

    • 63 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    U2's strongest album this century. [Jan 2018, p.86]
    • Mojo
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A subversion of new age, but still oddly soothing in its own way. [Aug 2020, p.94]
    • Mojo
    • 63 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    If you didn't know what the band have been capable of, this would be good enough. [Aug 2005, p.94]
    • Mojo
    • 63 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    It's too mixed a bag of highlights and lowlights to be lovable. [Feb 2007, p.100]
    • Mojo
    • 63 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Affecting and shot-through with tension. [Dec 2017, p.92]

    • 63 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's late-night, it's autumnal and it's really rather lovely. [Jan 2026, p.82]
    • Mojo
    • 63 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    A baffling mix of forgettable riffs and clumsy lyricism. [Jun 2019, p.96]
    • Mojo
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Former Miles Kane sideman McGuinness concocts his fifth solo record with solid powerpop. [Aug 2014, p.96]
    • Mojo
    • 63 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    There's little real sense of progression here... and at times New Order sound dreary and ordinary. [May 2005, p.96]
    • Mojo
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Gray returns in strident form with this mature mediation on womanhood, sex and love. [Nov 2014, p.102]
    • Mojo
    • 63 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    There's a back-to-basics feel on the mid-tempo country rockers, the slow beauties and mournful lap steel, and even on the musically warm, more upbeat, almost Tex-Mex opening song. [Sep 2009, p.92]
    • Mojo
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    His most commercial sounding material to date. [Nov 2002, p.106]
    • Mojo
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Slick and melodic but more Placebo than Pumpkins. [Aug 2019, p.98]
    • Mojo
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A glossy finish leaves little to hang on to. [Dec 2013, p.92]
    • Mojo
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    An audibly irked record.... Girl Talk has balls and tunes. [Apr 2013, p.88]
    • Mojo
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Intelligent, funny, heartbreaking atl-rock, Hornby lyrics music and vocals by Folds. [Oct. 2010, p. 92]
    • Mojo
    • 63 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    While Grace Potter's vocals are unquestionably impressive on this fourth album--she still hasn't carved out a trademark voice of her own. The music is equally bland. [Sep 2010, p.102]
    • Mojo
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    There's nothing here to match their gonzo 2003 hit I Believe In A Thing Called Love.... But there's still laugh-out silliness. [Jul 2015, p.92]
    • Mojo
    • 63 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Not every moment is transcendent.... But otherwise, this is that rare thing, an album that shares new pleasures each time you hear it, made by someone who's still excited by music. [Nov 2005, p.102]
    • Mojo
    • 63 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    She immediately impresses with a solid version of Wanda Jackson's Funnel Of Love, then moves on to deliver a brace of Patsy Cline classics that stand the comparison test, before with the aid of Vince Gill, whooping it up on You're The Reason Our Kids Are Ugly. [Jun 2016, p.94]
