    Full of curios and cameos, My Name Is Buddy falls short of masterpiece but is dense with wonderful music. [Apr 2007, p.100]

    Sadly, there's little to propel them to radio ubiquity or challenge the Britrock big hitters, but then, maybe, that's the whole point. [Mar 2007, p.95]
    • Mojo
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Perfectly conceived and executed, the album is a beautiful collection of mood music. [May 2007, p.112]

    No vintage-gear replicator, he's modern-sounding, fresh, fun--a genuine contender for 2007. [Mar 2007, p.105]
    • Mojo
    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score

    Ooz[es] between queasy fantasy and distorted reality. [Mar 2007, p.105]

    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Vividly of-the-moment, rich in melody and wry optimism. [Mar 2007, p.104]

    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's not perfect--you want it to shift up a gear occasionally, or to try different approaches, but the songs are all stuffed with daffy musicality and charm. [Apr 2007, p.102]
    • Mojo
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Most [tracks] are brilliant. [Apr 2007, p.97]

    • 90 Critic Score
    The result is 31 minutes of constantly surprising music, more absorbing and less conventional than anything on their self-titled 2005 debut. [Feb 2007, p.102]
    • Mojo
    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The album's substantial rewards lie in the unorthodox rhythms of drummer Matt Tong. [Mar 2007, p.102]

    • 70 Critic Score
    Dip
    An evocative set of instrumentals, rich in texture and gentle, melancholic beauty. [May 2007, p.103]
    • Mojo
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    [It] sees their "spooky American music" get creepier still. [Apr 2007, p.97]
    • Mojo
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    What if Lou Reed and Moe Tucker joined forces with the Danielson Family? [Mar 2007, p.104]

    • 80 Critic Score
    What Yes, I'm A Witch proves, above all else, is that the world is at last catching up with Ono. [Mar 2007, p.92]
    • Mojo
    • 82 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    While their music does have a Scando smoothness to it, its ramshackle moments recall the Beta Band more than they do Sondre Lerche, The Cardigans, et al. [Sep 2006, p.100]
    • Mojo
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A blast from start to finish. [Aug 2006, p.102]
    • Mojo
    • 63 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    It's too mixed a bag of highlights and lowlights to be lovable. [Feb 2007, p.100]
    • Mojo
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The majority of Not Too Late hums with a placid darkness and neurosis which is as delicious as it is unexpected. [Feb 2007, p.104]
    • Mojo
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A sweaty, dirty cellarful of noise. [Feb 2007, p.102]
    • Mojo
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Visitations may just be their finest half-hour. [Dec 2006, p.108]
    • Mojo
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The overall effect is a bit off-key, ill-defined and generally incomprehensible yet warm and attractive. [Mar 2007, p.100]
    • Mojo
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Neither the return of the Last Gang In Town, nor the crisp, literate, wonderfully confident pop with which Albarn perfectly crystallised the mid-1990s. Instead, The Good, The Bad & The Queen is a noir-ishly understated suite of songs, further testament to its chief author's need to keep on moving. [Jan 2007, p.98]
    • Mojo
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    There are twists, but no clutter, just a gentle lyricism leaving every song lit from the inside. [Feb 2007, p.100]
    • Mojo
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    His gifts remain undiminished. [Mar 2007, p.99]

    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Stereolab had similar starting blocks--there's no reason why Fujiya & Miyagi shouldn't become as notable. [Jan 2007, p.110]
    • Mojo
    • 67 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    There's just one heart-grabbing moment. [May 2007, p.120]
