    It's the record that regular Krall devotees demand. So is it churlish to suggest that she's capable of something more? [Oct 2006, p.111]

    • 60 Critic Score
    Only problem is, he also wants us to love him for his mind, so he has declared this a concept album. [Nov 2006, p.116]
    • Mojo
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Another wonderful, intimate love letter to pop. [Sep 2006, p.94]

    • Mojo
    • 79 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    There's little discernable rhyme or reason holding it all together. [Oct 2006, p.110]
    • Mojo
    • 87 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Drones whip up a heady storm of garage-bred blues, post-punk intensity and Crazy Horse-style amp overload, in which they couch fevered narratives worthy of Nick Cave. [Nov 2006]
    • Mojo
    • 89 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Crudely put, it is the sequel to Love And Theft, which is to say that a great deal of it is split between 12-bar treatises about love and lust and croonsome ballads about much the same themes.... That said, it is not quite as sharply focused as that record. [Oct 2006, p.94]
    • Mojo
    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A focused tour de force. [Oct 2006, p.100]

    • 62 Metascore

    [Their] irony is especially trying when it infects the music. [Jul 2006, p.110]
    • Mojo
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Though it's certainly refreshing after the murk of 2002's Evil Heat, the results are still variable. [Jul 2006, p.104]

    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score

    • Mojo
    • 72 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Every time you think you've got Idlewild figured out, it zips off in a totally unexpected new direction. [Oct 2006, p.97]
    • Mojo
    • 60 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    On the downside, Razorlight is lyrically hamstrung. [Aug 2006, p.104]
    • Mojo
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Contains some of Broadcast's most adventurous music. [Sep 2006, p.118]
    • Mojo
    • 81 Metascore

    An album of colossal strength and maturity. [Sep 2006, p.104]

    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Though his nervy, nasal singing style can occasionally grate, the songs are redeemed by his breathtaking lyrical precision and eye for detail. [Oct 2006, p.103]

    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    As ever, easy melodies pour from him. [Oct 2006, p.104]

    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Starsailor find themselves in danger of being lumped in with the much-maligned 'Keaneplay' school of emote-u-like guitar rock. Yet judged on their own merits they are still producing the goods. [Nov 2005, p.104]
    • Mojo
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A rich, bright sounding record, albeit etched with Ward's lyrical ruefulness and voice of crumbling, lugubrious regret. [Oct 2006, p.111]
