    Various Cruelties
    When Various Cruelties gets just the right balance, the sound is beautiful to listen to, and would be perfect for soundtrack for summer.

    Moon Landing
    There’s certainly a market for anodyne, unthreatening, middle of the road pop, and Blunt appeals to that market very successfully. Yet those who look for music to move them, be it through the feet, heart or brain, probably won’t be surprised to find that there won’t be too much to appeal to them here.

    I Love You
    Flashes here and there suggest that The Neighbourhood are capable of writing good pop music. It’s just that they miss the target far too much.

    Streets Of Gold
    We know 3OH!3 can be entertaining and danceable, but too many tracks seem rushed, unenthusiastic and even boring.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Sex Dreams And Denim Jeans
    Sex Dreams And Denim Jeans is catchy, fresh-sounding and brilliantly self-referential, with an attitude a million miles removed from a major label star pretending to be like, totally, OMG, mental.

    In Living Cover
    Most of the album's remaining tracks are utterly vacuous interpretations of songs that few are likely to care much about. They offer nothing new to anyone or anything.

    Ashley Walters
    While the album is far from musically innovative, to cite it as an entirely unrewarding and joyless listen would be hyper-critical and plain wrong.

    Chapter V
    Overall there's just too much bland corporate sludge rock here to make any geniune lasting impression.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Evolve
    There’s not enough quality across the whole of Evolve to convincingly make the case that Imagine Dragons actually have, or to attract an audience of new listeners. Evolve is a good idea, but in practise it turns out that it doesn’t really work.

    The Beginning
    If The Black Eyed Peas want to sing, dance and rap about having good nights and getting laid, that's fine; but expecting a discerning audience to buy this bottle-rocket crap as an album is pure delusion. If they're truly trying to achieve more, The Beginning is a pretty awful start.

    Gary Go
    His attempts to be emotive or inspirational sound just wrong.

    Everybody Wants To Be On TV
    With Everybody Wants To Be On TV, they've given those masses what they want. But there's nothing for the discerning music fan.
    • 47 Metascore

    Wired Together
    Wired Together is a patchwork of half-finished schemes - loud enough to give you a headache, bland enough to stop you thinking - that pales next to its genre contemporaries and seems to aspire to little more than making a trendy noise.
    • 47 Metascore

    One Of The Boys
    Where it hits the mark, One Of The Boys is sparky and accomplished--though entirely disposable--pop.
    • 47 Metascore

    Double Bubble
    As their sound comes into focus again, and their inflence is found to be more powerful than we first thought, there are mixed feelings on this latest Stereo MCs offering.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    In a Perfect World
    As real big-bucks contenders, Kodaline aren’t quite there yet. But as a debut, In A Perfect World manages to find its feet with ease.
    • 47 Metascore

    No Baggage
    Regardless of how good the voice is, if the music does not follow suit then there's only so far you can get.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Margins
    This is, after all, the sound of Paul Smith freed of his band and label obligations - but the fact remains that Margins, while an interesting insight into a character, is a frustratingly hit-and-miss affair.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Wilderness
    The music is happy and content, the sound of both success and the comfort of being established enough to make an album entirely for yourself.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)
    What a shame, then, that The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grace) is such a regression in aesthetic, subject matter and quality, full of shock-value material that sounds painfully forced in 2024.
    • 46 Metascore

    Pull The Pin
    The album has undoubtedly been an opus of dedication but essentially there is no spontaneity.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Earth To The Dandy Warhols
    Merging the sounds of space rock with an element of trance and a smattering of early Velvet Underground experimentation, the group ends up with an enticing album that holds a fresh mix of sounds.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Chapter 1: Snake Oil
    It’s nice enough. That’s the problem with Snake Oil, though: the highest bar the music reaches is being decent, and the loftiest ambition of these songs is to be simply tolerated, packed in amongst other unremarkable tunes on an Apple Music playlist called ‘Tuesday Vibes’ or something similar.

    My Conscience And I
    For an enjoyable 'kickaround' of an album this is a cheeky little blighter that will continue to tickle ears, raise a smile and brighten any listen for a while yet.
    • 45 Metascore

    Guitar Heaven: The Greatest Guitar Classics of All Time
    Sadly, expert guitar playing cannot carry an album. Moreover, it is too sterile and obsessively arranged, and the majority of the vocals lack that rock fierceness. Everyone is playing it too safe, with the production geared towards something mainstream and pop-oriented rather than experimentation and reinterpretation.

    Growing Up in Public
    There’s talent here, although it’s often buried deep beneath generic beats and lyrical self-obsession that eventually becomes a bit exhausting to listen to.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Some Kind of Trouble
    When Blunt sticks to playing it safe, he offends the least. And whilst it seems contrived to applaud an artist for sticking to his zone, this man is an exceptional case.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Maximum Entropy
    Maximum Entropy is the somewhat frustrating work of a band with potential in need of some fine tuning.
    • 45 Metascore

    For Now
    Sure, nostalgia abounds (albeit with a bit more modern sheen), but The Bishops have, in a terrible way, outdone themselves in their songwriting, and have given new meaning to the term 'autopilot'.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Melodia
    Perhaps it's a problem with sequencing, as no doubt some of the acoustically driven material that The Vines compose is glorious, but it always sits difficultly alongside the heavier, angrier stuff that they are better at writing, and more at home playing. It's a problem that has manifested itself on every album, and is more than evident on Melodia.
