The Aftermath is wild and explorative, its appeal lying in the sprawling ideas and yearning vocals. [Nov 2012, p.103]- Mojo

A short, dynamic return to form is similarly earwrenching. [Nov 2012, p.95]- Mojo

A dense, fervent, riffy drums and electric-guitar driven album. [Nov 2012, p.95]- Mojo

It doesn't help that the album features a glut of dull mid-tempos. [Nov 2012, p.95]- Mojo

It makes a terrific album, stronger than Interpol's last two, with enough detail in the arrangement to separate Banks and his day job. [Nov 2012, p.95]- Mojo

Sonically ambitious it may be, but it's consistently accessible. [Nov 2012, p.94]- Mojo

Most important is the pure joy of these tracks and how instantly likeable they are. [Nov 2012, p.94]- Mojo

Easy on the ear yet never sugary, full and layered yet never stodgy, intricately assembled yet never fussy, pulsing with a Ringo beat yet never monotonous. [Nov 2012, p.91]- Mojo

There is improvement in the songwriting....But halfway through you might well weary at the album's unrelenting, full-bodied tone. [Nov 2012, p.91]- Mojo

Glad Rag Doll breaks intriguing new ground for a hitherto smooth operator. [Nov 2012, p.90]- Mojo

Even in Beth's comfort zone, her acoustic band, produced by Tucker Martine, enrich some beguiling songs, with not a dud among them. [Nov 2012, p.90]- Mojo

The sound of a band re-energised, La Futura is possibly the hard rock album of the year. [Nov 2012, p.88]- Mojo

Blessed with impeccable musical bone structure, nearly everything suits them. [Nov 2012, p.88]- Mojo

Some of the 11 songs have a rich band sound with strings and strong piano, and others a spare contemplative tone. [Nov 2012, p.88]- Mojo

Muse and David Campbell's melodramatic arrangements occasionally raise a smile, but if you like your rock symphonic and your vocals histrionic, The 2nd Law delivers. [Nov 2012, p.87]- Mojo

Other artists covered include Gnarls Barkley, Tom Waits and Neil Young, but this is Bettye's record, these are her songs now. [Nov 2012, p.86]- Mojo

Ndegeocello doesn't opt for straight covers, adding a fresh, and sometimes unexpected, twist on a 14-track collection that mostly reconfigures Simone's most famous songs. [Nov 2012, p.86]- Mojo

Silver Age is the most consistently exciting record he's made since Sugar's Copper Blue. [Nov 2012, p.86]- Mojo

The album follows a North American folk linage from Jean Ritchie and Hedy West through to the present, via the chugging, churning electronic (folk) rock of The Velvet Underground, all the time infused with a joyous communal warmth. [Nov 2012, p.85]- Mojo

As an experiment in revisionism, the results are mixed. [Nov 2012, p.85]- Mojo

Possibly it's the glorious touch of melodic grandiosity forming the heart of Don't Mess With Latexas that supplies the most climatic moment to remember amid this remarkable, kaleidoscopic offering. [Nov 2012, p.84]- Mojo

In sonic terms, it's considerably more aspirational than even last year's Sun And Shade, allowing Earl's take on various ages of American song-craft to snap into sharper focus. [Nov 2012, p.84]- Mojo

The increasingly frequent transitions between the finger picking subtlety of old to such newfound rockage are, however, simply too jarring for satisfactory listening. [Nov 2012, p.84]- Mojo

It's inspired genre-hopping and relentless invention resulting in a substantial and brilliantly sung career-best. [Nov 2012, p.85]- Mojo

This album elicits a powerful aura, which continues to resonate potently several hours, even days, after the last note has died. [Nov 2012, p.82]- Mojo

The keening askance of his voice, celestial choirs and brittle hesitation of his guitar all speak of terrible demons exorcised, and when that all comes together on Brother or opener Part One: The End, maybe only Josh T. Pearson can touch his pain. [Aug 2012, p.84]- Mojo
