    Her naturalistic voice is a relaxed conduit to elegantly detailed songs about the psychogeography of er native Cardiff (Ghosts Of You), expectant motherhood (St Ives New School) and Jarvis Cocker dancing stylishly alone (kitchen sink pop jangling Dancing ON Volcanoes). [Aug 2025, p.79]

    It doesn't always hit the bullseye - Te Tragaste El Chicle's intense shredding veers towards '80s hair metal, or the soundtrack to a Jerry Bruckheimer movie - but the dizzying ideas on display amply compensate. [Oct 2025, p.81]

    Hatchie is moving into interesting territory. [Feb 2026, p.84]

    Ultimately, it's a record filled with beauty that tries to do what therapy does: sort through a mess of emotions and reorganise them into something that makes more sense. [Jun 2019, p.84]

    The lack of solidity can make Mercy nebulous like any spirit photo, it sometimes takes work to find the shape, fill in detail. Yet slowly, its unfamiliarity coalesces into a cold beauty, memory acting as a spur, not a comfort blanket. [Feb 2023, p.85]

    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    New View furthers Friedberger's quest to declutter, finding great pop and occasional profundity in getting to the point and letting her tunes ring clear. [Feb 2016, p.92]

    Rhythm takes Mahalia Jackson into orbit. [Dec 2014, p.98]

    • 80 Critic Score
    An album like this could be relevant at any time, really, but it takes the past couple of years to make it quite this livid. [Oct 2018, p.91]
    • Mojo
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Draws out the same intense emotional responses as that first album [Lazer Guided Melodies] but in a post 1997 Ladies and Gentleman... way. [May 2012, p.92]
    • Mojo
    • 81 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    While never the greatest singer, Escovedo's lyrics more than compensate. [Oct 2018, p.91]

    Eclectic and even occasionally upbeat. ... His croon remains dizzyingly swoonsome. [Dec 2022, p.94]

    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Hilarious, stoned hip hop drooling with ideas. [Feb 2005, p.100]
    • Mojo
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's both organic and future-facing. A true metamorphosis, this album sees Queens Of The Stone Age shedding an old identity to discover new ways of playing the same song. [Sep 2017, p.84]
    • Mojo
    • 81 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Evangelist is tinged with the voyeur's illicit thrill a Forster spies on his neighbours and loved ones, but these are slso some of the most direct songs he's written. [June 2008, p.114]

    His quiet, reasoning delivery works beautifully, and reminds one of the singer's instinctive ability to transform a song. [May 2013, p.91]
    • Mojo
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A humane and typically eclectic affair with winning flashes of eccentricity. [Aug 2017, p.92]

    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The humour enhances the band's vigour: loud and ragged, they sound like a band much younger than their years, although the high quality of songcraft is a giveaway of their veteran status. [Nov 2025, p.93]
    • Mojo
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A significant return to form. [Feb 2003, p.86]

    • 90 Critic Score
    Their debut, Mono, gave voice to little beyond their frustration, and the distance between that impressively venomous fit of black-hearted flailing and Penance Soiree's stereopathic, multiphonic attack is similar to that between Nirvana's Bleach and Nevermind. [May 2004, p.94]

    The only gripe is that at 38 minutes, Insignificance is too short. [Feb 2002, p.92]
    • Mojo
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    One of the most cerebral-yet-groovy hip hop albums you'll hear. [Apr 2002, p.104]
    • Mojo

    • 90 Critic Score
    Fantastic! [Aug 2002, p.112]

    • 80 Critic Score
    Kite breezes of melodic distortion blur into fog banks of silver noise before everything goes Dream-psych with Yo La Tengo's Ira Kaplan on hazy closer Happiness. [Jul 2013, p.87]
    • Mojo
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Goon Sax have created a glorious pop album that perfectly captures those awkward confusions on the road to adulthood. [Oct 2018, p.90]
    • Mojo
    • 80 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Kveikur largely conforms to existing Sigur Ros templates, and though the quirky rhythms and ethereal vocals of Isjaki spawn a certain magic, something is audibly lacking here. [Jul 2013, p.82]
    • Mojo
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Twelve Nudes' unbridled howl, mania and joy is on the nose. [Sep 2019, p.95]

    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Bravest Man impresses on a steadily rising graph as Womack's soul-soaked voice humanises the machinery in ways rarely heard these days. [Jul 2012, p.84]
    • Mojo
    • 80 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Age Of Adz, by contrast, is problematic for its mind-boggling ambitions, as Stevens harnesses his folkier songcraft and complex orchestration to electronica. [Nov. 2010, p. 100]
    • Mojo
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Wildly imaginative music. [Jun 2017, p.92]
