    The sum total of this umpteenth solo long-player in 40 years is that the prodigious and progressive Landreth is his own man - a futuristic traditionalist. It's time that wider audiences took notice. [Apr 2020, p.88]

    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The LP does feel monotonous after a while, the tunnel vision metaphor ultimately extending to the listener's experience. Keep the great frames, Agnes, but next time, try the varifocals. [Mar 2020, p.88]

    • Mojo
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A raw, often unnerving experience, but it delivers compelling and uplifting catharsis. [Apr 2020, p.94]
    • Mojo
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Ranaldo and Refree are content to leave holes throughout, letting sounds do the most interesting work, nestling or scraping together. [Apr 2020, p.94]

    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Fans of self-possessed art-pop are directed here. [Apr 2020, p.91]

    • 80 Critic Score
    [Singer Hazel Wilde's] words are clear, emphatic and beautifully sung, like a post-rock seer gazing over the landscape. Her bandmates also play their socks off. [Mar 2020, p.91]

    • 60 Critic Score
    Inevitably there's a compilation feel, but Marshall's music brings coherence as it eases goth into the 21st century. [Mar 2020, p.92]

    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Lakeman is in his element. ... McGann's narration is disappointingly flat and some of the musical settings - like the shanty Sailing Time - are underplayed; but the songs are emotive. [Mar 2020, p.88]
    • Mojo
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    They're five albums in and they keep getting better and better. [Mar 2020, p.91]

    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    She's a great storyteller and her guitar has plenty of country twang. But the sound is of her own making - defined by her huge one-of-a-kind voice. [Mar 2020, p.94]

    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score

    Ash's cover of Teenage Kicks itself is on the limited-edition 3-CD version, alongside the likes of a cover of Buzzcocks' Everybody's Happy Nowadays, making this the best buy. [Mar 2020, p.101]
