The Darkness swoop dangerously close to parody, but pull off the dizzying, sublime soprano hi-jinks of I Believe In A Thing Called Love, the deft pop-rock of Friday Night and Love On The Rocks WIth Ice's overbearing machismo with the grace of seasoned circus acrobats. [Aug 2003, p.98]- Mojo

With greater degrees of deliberate construction than Mers De Noms, Thirteenth Step is more cohesive band effort, less ad hoc side project. [Nov 2003, p.132]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
As Mayaer talks himself in circles you hear an artist facing massive success, and retreating from it. [Dec 2003, p.112]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
This is an album of stadium sized melodies and exquisite songwriting, allied with almost too many ideas. [Jun 2003, p.110]- Mojo

Epic, lyrical, and as ultimately old-fashioned as those words suggest. [Oct 2003, p.106]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
For every song that reacts against the last album, another chimes perfectly with its mood of epic redemption. [Sep 2003, p.101]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
Enough memorable moments to make this the first Catholics album worthy of your love and attention. [Sep 2003, p.113]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
The lyrics are full of fleeting assignations and gruff, bumper-sticker wisdoms, apparently seeking to draw hard-bitten romance from the business of being in a band. [Jul 2003, p.107]- Mojo

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

- Critic Score
The results career from interesting to neglibile. [Aug 2003, p.95]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
Powerful and anthemic, the trio's driving, Goth-forsaken rock can also be overwhelming and cloying. [Sep 2003, p.99]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
The danger with this kind of project is sounding like a '70s revue, but Rouse avoids that with his intimate vocal style and quirky songwriting. [Sep 2003, p.104]- Mojo

There's a real sense of party-beneath-the-scaffold much of the time--a looseness you don't often get on these star-studded affairs. [Nov 2003, p.122]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
Comes on like an evil Duran Duran making future music for damaged teens.... It's both disturbingly compelling and very, very wrong. [Jun 2003, p.112]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
Neptunes' grooves and collaborators score an impressive hit rate. [Sep 2003, p.111]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
No huge amounts of new ground broken... but even a mediocre Kraftwerk album is still a work of near-genius. [Sep 2003, p.101]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
Earthquake Glue sees a return to the satisfyingly stylistic cohesion of 2001's Isolation Drills, ... while retaining the impressionistic aural fug that's so key to the band's appeal. [Sep 2003, p.98]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
Musically and vocally, this is Franti's most confident and varied work to date. [Jul 2003, p.106]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
An album ragged with last-ditch lunges of fuzz-noise and burnished vocals. [Feb 2004, p.99]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
The story feels thrown together in two seconds, and much of it is irredeemably hokey.... In the end, despite its kooky charms, Greendale is just one more lazy Neil Young album. [Sep 2003, p.96]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
Faced with the Kings of Leon's musical savvy, however, it's easy to believe the hype. [Sep 2003, p.104]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
Ha Ha Sound reveals that the band still have a penchant for 3/4 time, still transcend their cinematic influences effortlessly, and Trish Keenan still conjures wondrous lyrical evocations of unspecific tenderness and yearning. [Aug 2003, p.98]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
They've got groove, feeling, and they regurgitate these moods and riffs with the same gleeful spirit as did the people they're nicking 'em from. [Aug 2003, p.99]- Mojo

Ultimately, though, the resolutely rubbish recordings--distorted, trebly drum breaks, scratchy guitars, monotonous voices--and near-total absence of melody, might test your stamina for mindless entertainment. [May 2003, p.104]- Mojo

Grohl's pounding presence throughout lifts Killing Joke right back to the savage intensity of their early records.... The best punk album in years. [Aug 2003, p.106]- Mojo
