On this solid business-as-usual set, his band kicks requisite ass on Isaak's decent country-rock tearjerkers. [Jul 2009, p.106]- Mojo

The ensuing synthetic pop suite can't disguise a crucial lack of memorable songs. [Mar 2009, p.111]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
Bringing out the too-often buried pop nuances of his stylish songs and new inventions from his under-rated guitar work, it's a stylistic cloth that Ward seems very comfortable wearring. [Mar 2009, p.111]- Mojo

Years Of Refusal isn't a great album, but it's no disaster. [Mar 2009, p.104]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
Hanna's sub-Kevin Shields guitars and Chikudate's sparkling keyboards eddy across the Blondie-esque layers. [Feb 2009, p.113]- Mojo

The results are as scattershot as the guest list. [Mar 2009, p.106]- Mojo

Tight Knit is a beautiful, lazy album of befogged West Coast dreams. [Apr 2009, p.107]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
Goodnight Oslo could be a ghost story, a slice of stoner paranoia or a song about steam trains, but shows something sleek and ominous still looming in the fog of Hitchcock's imagination. [Mar 2009, p.107]- Mojo

- Critic Score
This cleaner-sounding set finds the quartet's elemental power now yielding to poise, thier speaker-bleeding blues and jagged riffs leavened by folk shimmer and country jangle. [Mar 2009, p.110]- Mojo

While there is no quibbling with the noble sentiment behind this set, a more judicial selection policy might have established a unified aesthetic to eclipse some of the B-side material here. [Mar 2009, p.114]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
Their 14th release enschews improv for structure, its hulking grooves boosted by Melvins guitarist Buzz Osborne and the distinctive noir wail of new label boss Mike Patton. [Apr 2009, p.107]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
While It's Not Me, It's You isn't quite the voice of wisdom, the Mockney chatter has been dialed right down. [Mar 2009, p.108]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
From the lurking threat of 'Street Walkin'' to the pretty sadness of closer 'Goin' Home,' this is outsider's music. Therein lie its real strength. [Mar 2009, p.110]- Mojo

- Critic Score
If anything, she's dreamer, the tempo's a little more down, the mood more twilit. [May 2009, p.101]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
She's neither a soft seducer nor a lapel-grabber, but her eye for detail combined with that degree of vocal detachment quietly commands attention. [Mar 2009, p.109]- Mojo

- Critic Score
The band make each piece their own on this, their most satisfying set for years. [Dec 2008, p.102]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
This has more than enough beauty and character to stand on its own. [Mar 2009, p.107]- Mojo

- Critic Score
Stollsteimer, it seems, is still in search of his own musical identity. [ Jun 2009, p.96]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
Unfortunately, Sea Sew too often clunks along like its awkwardly punning title. [Jun 2009, p.1010]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
This may sound wilfully eclectic but actually hangs together, bound by May's showman-like vocals. [Mar 2009, p.109]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
Hugely enjoyable, with nagging tunes too, but let's move forward next time. [Mar 2009, p.106]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
Less like leftovers from a previous album than another move forward, creating out of his prepared piano and mini string section something fresh, subtle and beguiling. [Apr 2009, p.106]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
A Fool For Everyone treads a similarly disconsolate path [as "The Sky Behind The Sea"]. [Apr 2009, p.101]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
The Nebraskans' second LP strikes a meaty accord between classic rock swagger and the pumped up, get-in-the-van intensity of hardcore. [Apr 2009, p.107]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
Hamilton's second album only firms up a reputation for making pastoral, semi-acoustic pop. [Mar 2009, p.107]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
With producer Owen Morris at the controls, Which Bitch? always promised to be a riotous affair. [Mar 2009, p.107]- Mojo

While Tonight: Franz Ferdinand might not take all the chances those early reports suggested, it shows the band examing their world from all angles, from the unflattering profile in the mirror behind the batr to the long hard look into the soul. Life in three dimensions suits them very well indeed. [Feb 2009, p.102]- Mojo
