    No Selfish Heart
    No Selfish Heart is something to cherish all year round, no matter what’s in or out of fashion musically; something to keep coming back to when you’re unimpressed by everything else.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Running Still
    Too often though these stabs at versatility end up as clichéd impersonations.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Anna
    Die-hard fans can rest assured that the band have certainly not gone rave but, sadly, there’s really not a great deal to rave about either.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    M B V
    The legend behind m b v, as well as its songs, have created something many will talk about for much longer than it’s taken to arrive.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Badwater
    It’s a difficult one to love; most of these songs will drift out of your brain almost as soon as they enter.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A Moving Picture
    Devlin’s talents as both lyricist and rapper are never in doubt, but for all the album’s pomposity and scale, musically speaking, it feels like a big step backward.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Country Sleep
    A gorgeously warm, fuzzy album by a man wise--and sad--beyond his tender years.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    We Will Not Harm You
    It is not quite playful enough or quite inventive enough to truly excel, but it is a largely fine effort from a man who anyone with an interest in UK electronic music would surely find to be well worth investigating.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Afterman: Descension
    For every sledgehammer track, there’s a garlic crusher, destructive in a lightweight and cosmopolitan kind of way.... It’s this lightness of touch and ecleticism that makes the album such a refreshingly undemanding listen.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Waiting for Something to Happen
    There are rewards to be had for perseverance but, just like before, we’re left wishing they’d loosen up a bit.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    FIDLAR
    While Fidlar’s debut does have a tendency to wonder towards the mindless end of the spectrum, their eponymous album, for the most part, is actually quite accomplished.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Wonderful, Glorious
    Whether he has been re-invigorated by love, his new band or just from old-fashioned growing up, Mark Everett and Eels re-define themselves here with exhilarating success, putting all associations with misery out of mind with a compelling finality.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Pedestrian Verse
    This lack of ego lends a refreshing air to an album which is self-assured, charismatic and quite simply brilliant.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Flower Lane
    It is a surprisingly refreshing listen.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Somewhere Else
    It is a debut album of real class.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Out of View
    You don’t often have to wait as long for debut albums, but by taking their time and perfecting their first full length release, THOAP have created something truly memorable.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Hummingbird
    Hummingbird may not be as instantly likable as Gorilla Manor, but its seductive beauty and emotional pull is virtually impossible to resist.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Opposites
    The double album is a difficult thing to pull off, but considering the anticipation before the release of Biffy Clyro’s sixth LP, the trio have done a fine job.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Christopher
    Christopher comes across as so eager to please that parts of the album lack vim where it’s needed, despite the luxuriant polish that’s been spread across all 10 songs.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Collections
    The production drips with gloss, but unlike Acolyte, it’s a gloss that obscures rather than glimmers.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Oddfellows
    Oddfellows then is a fairly straightforward album, although it possesses enough personality and deftness of touch to bear repeated listens.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Anything In Return
    The amount of painstaking effort that’s evident on Anything In Return suggests that he’s in this for the duration.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Big Inner
    Overall, Matthew E White and his Spacebomb house band have created a brilliant debut, one that will undoubtedly have artists queueing up to be a part of this newly established project.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A Wonder Working Stone
    This is comfortably Roberts’ most colourful recording and, whilst it retains the hypnotic quality of his delivery, also takes another significant step in his development a living, breathing artist going well beyond the curation of folk traditions.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Oak Island
    An album that’s easy to enjoy yet difficult to fall in love with.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic
    Despite the strength of this first offering, you can’t help but feel Foxygen haven’t quite reached their full potential.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    True North
    True North is a decent album, but one with no real standout tracks.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Wolf's Law
    It’s a confused collection of songs, but there are enough gems here to suggest that they’ll come good soon enough.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Home
    Home is a significant statement from a hugely impressive producer at the peak of his powers.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Wash the Sins Not Only the Face
    There are some encouraging if fleeting flickers of light and warmth here that hint there could be more to come in terms of musical development, but for now the group are little more than faithful revivalists of a niche subculture with limited appeal beyond those already converted.
