There's still much to link the group to their musical past. [Jun 2004, p.107]- Mojo

- Critic Score
True, [Merritt] still sings in a voice that's subject to fairly strict demarcations of range and malleability, but his deft spadework in the trench of song-craft more than compensates. [May 2004, p.93]- Mojo

- Critic Score
Los Lobos' ingenuity with arrangements and atmosphere makes The Ride something special. [Jun 2004, p.102]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
With elements of synth-pop, new wave and blue-eyed soul distilled into a succession of heart-beating hits, Trial Of The Century is a record that gets better with each listen. [Dec 2004, p.99]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
Their debut, Mono, gave voice to little beyond their frustration, and the distance between that impressively venomous fit of black-hearted flailing and Penance Soiree's stereopathic, multiphonic attack is similar to that between Nirvana's Bleach and Nevermind. [May 2004, p.94]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
An album of lightness and substance, in perfectly observed amounts. [Oct 2005, p.114]- Mojo

To dismiss Heroes to Zeroes as a mere exercise in rock homage underestimates The Beta Band's charm. [Apr 2004, p.102]- Mojo

- Critic Score
In a way, Trampin' is to this decade what Horses was to the '70s: a repudiation of its time, and the promise of a way forward. [Apr 2004, p.98]- Mojo

- Critic Score
It really is incredibly good, even if sometimes it's hard to feel you're hearing the real Jolie and not a character she's adopted. [Jun 2004, p.110]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
Starts strong and finishes weak, but it's forgivable considering the gems contained in this 12-song set. [May 2004, p.97]- Mojo

The longer the album runs the more engaging the songs seem to become. [May 2004, p.104]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
Lynn's voice... is as strong as it was during her heyday, while her songwriting ability has only increased with age. [Jun 2004, p.98]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
Brilliantly produced and performed, rather than astoundingly well written. [Jun 2004, p.112]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
Forget notions of old or new schools: this is an album that blends a kindergarten-level technique with styles that are strictly postgraduate. [Jun 2004, p.116]- Mojo

All pomp and bluster, like Coldplay at their most bombastic. [Mar 2004, p.108]- Mojo

It drifts rudderlessly in places, but at its best... it's among Tortoise's most persuasive music to date. [Apr 2004, p.108]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
The album is engagingly eclectic, always melodic, sometimes hard and storming, but never quite so sublime [as single "Good Boys"]. [Nov 2004, p.132]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
This sounds like a decent Gang Star LP--no bad thing, but it lacks the spark of individuality. [May 2004, p.103]- Mojo

Moments of simple, exultant joy are plentiful. [Jun 2004, p.102]- Mojo

The best songs... sound as if singer Gary Lightbody spends a lot of time sitting in the dark pretending to be Lou Barlow. [Sep 2003, p.108]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
A splendid corollary to Mercury Rev's 1998 pastoral masterpiece, Deserter's Songs. [Jan 2005, p.94]- Mojo
-
- Critic Score
[Aerosmith's] affection for and facility with the material in hand [is] as plain as the nose on Gerard Depardieu's face. [May 2004, p.106]- Mojo
