    • 90 Critic Score
    A fine record.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Cerebral listening.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Their first album was one of the strongest debuts in recent memory and this is an equally impressive follow-up.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    One of the best albums in North America last year and surely one of the best of 2006 for us; Live It Out is sinister, intelligent music for sinister, intelligent people.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    There is much to admire here, and much to cherish.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    When Wildflower works, it works beautifully.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    It all adds up to the sound of a band developing and maturing nicely, without ever losing sight of what made them so great in the first place.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The pedal steel guitar playing on the whole record is breathtaking.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Easily HIM's most accessible album to date.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Broadcast have produced arguably their finest moment.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A welcome return of Jamiroquai's trademark blend of '80s funk and pop sensibilities - familiar, yet refreshingly different to so much of their current competition.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    There's little familiarity, too little to relate to on Certified.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A '60s psychedelic, experimental hippie-folk throwback, an invocation of lost, childish innocence delicately constructed with a deft musical touch.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Weird and wonderful in roughly equal measure.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Chapman is an eloquent lyricist with a strong social conscience, but she's also a superb songwriter and musician and Where You Live contains several instances of low key beauty.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An album that playfully veers all over the place and leaves you feeling as heady and confused as a first time stoner.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Compelling to some, maddening to others, it should be said that at least Gray's voice is tuneful.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The songs on Once Upon a Little Time bloom as slowly as lotus blossom, their graceful colours and subtle variations revealing themselves gradually.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Souls Alike is what Bonnie Raitt does best - superb bluesy rock, with Raitt on top form, both vocals-wise and on her beloved slide guitar.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Takk does what Agaetis Byrjun did by burrowing into the consciousness and snuggling down to bed there, purring. Each listen brings out another mood, another thought. It's gorgeous.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Love Kraft is the greatest realisation of the Super Furry vision to date.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Gold and Green finds its mark far more consistently than Kila, despite being a far more expansive and rambling album.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The album's highlights far outweigh the more average moments, and there are enough signs here that The Like are going to be around for some time to come.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An album of gorgeous, lush songs.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Though [A Bigger Bang] doesn't dare to place itself in the same hallowed halls as that Jimmy Miller-produced quartet of records between 1968 and 1972, it jostles justly and fairly with the best since.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    What really makes The Invisible Invasion excellent, better even than that oft-feted debut, is what they achieve when they go a little bit crazy.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    This is certainly an album of progression that is likely to win the band plenty of new fans, but it shouldn't alienate their fanbase either.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    In short, this is another very good album.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    It's a cleverly and thoughtfully composed album, bereft of filler and loaded with style and substance.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It isn't their best record, but as an acknowledgement that slabs of feedback-laden noise weren't going to take them much further, and change was needed for an attempt at a long-term career, it's promising.
