    • 60 Critic Score
    Sonic Nurse is not... a classic rock record. And it's not a classic Sonic Youth record. It's an excursion, into corners weird and corners familiar. [Jun 2004, p.100]

    Farrar has rarely sounded so stirring on record. [Aug 2004, p.89]

    A big wet dream of loss and isolation, sex and the search for grace. [May 2004, p.92]

    This is the band at their melodious best. [Jun 2004, p.112]

    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    At times, it's almost too tasteful a refinement of her work.... Yet there are some fabulous moments from both sides of Harvey's brain. [Jun 2004, p.100]
    • Mojo
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Beautifully skewed gospel-folk songs. [Aug 2004, p.101]

    Quietly turn[s] into a rather good record as it goes along. [Jun 2004, p.116]

    A perpetual guilty pleasure. [Jun 2004, p.107]

    A welcome departure. [Jun 2004, p.114]

    Cruel, sexy and offhand by turns. [Jun 2004, p.114]
    • Mojo
    • 62 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Suffers from a paucity of premium standalone songs.... way too relentlessly generic. [Mar 2004, p.101]
    • Mojo
    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Melds way-out weird with a pop welcome that sounds like no one else around right now. [May 2004, p.105]
    • Mojo
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It's not as spiky or sleazy as 2001's superlative Kittenz And Thee Glitz... but this is shiny, addictive pop that's never lost for a good tune. [Jun 2004, p.114]
    • Mojo
    • 61 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Somewhere Only We Know is one of 2004's loveliest tunes, and while nothing else on their debut album quite matches this apogee of woebegone non-energy, there's plenty to keep the eyes welling up. [Jun 2004, p.116]
    • Mojo
    • 65 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Deep, mournful, impressive. [Apr 2004, p.99]
    • Mojo
    • 43 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Tired and contrived-sounding.... Baptism? Craptism, more like. [Jun 2004, p.102]
    • Mojo
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A return to basics--14 meticulously sculpted, wordless vignettes tricked out in blurry beats, subtle digital daubs and mellifluous bass counterpoints. [May 2004, p.104]
    • Mojo
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    [A] breezy conflation of Beta Band-esque jollity, default indie guitar chime and High Llamas-style retro melody. [May 2003, p.95]
    • Mojo
    • 79 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Sleepy, certainly, but never tired. [Aug 2004, p.89]
    • Mojo
    • 61 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Their raucous, raw live show transfers effortlessly to record, justifying all three of those exclamation marks. [Jun 2004, p.116]
    • Mojo
    • 56 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    She's lost track of almost everything that made her music marvellous. [Jun 2004, p.101]
    • Mojo
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A superior folk-tinged brand of MOR. [Oct 2005, p.102]
    • Mojo
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Hayden's delicate little songs are potent, precious things indeed. [Oct 2004, p.110]
    • Mojo
    • 60 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    An oddly experimental record, prioritising texture over tune and betraying a river-deep confessioinal streak. [Apr 2004, p.103]
    • Mojo
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Improved fidelity aside, the song remains the same. [Aug 2004, p.88]
    • Mojo
    • 91 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A Grand… isn't as immediate and vivacious as its predecessor. But credit to Skinner for pushing things forward; he remians one of the most compelling voices in British pop culture. [May 2004, p.94]
