For once, the return to form tag rings true. [Dec 2003, p.129]- Q Magazine

Another like this and people will struggle to remember she was ever in another band. [Dec 2002, p.98]- Q Magazine

The sort of glorious record Greenwich Village beatniks would make if they'd been hibernating for 40 years. [Feb 2004, p.102]- Q Magazine

There's a raw urgency to the album that belies its dated influences. [Oct 2003, p.108]- Q Magazine

In its own vapid, curiously sexless way, Life For Rent is actually fascinating stuff, so set against the usual rules of successful music that it starts to look oddly revolutionary. [Oct 2003, p.99]- Q Magazine

Though Matmos are undoubtedly the Willie Wonkas of ear candy, just occasionally The Civil War gets too anal. [Oct 2003, p.109]- Q Magazine

Bell has an instinctive feel for sound but, as Freak's teeth-grinding acid house nostalgia underlines, he won't find a new audience with this. [Oct 2003, p.108]- Q Magazine

A second album full of ambition and epic arrangements so unexpected it knocks you sideways. [May 2004, p.108]- Q Magazine

There is one glaring drawback: so taboo-shredding are her lyrics, and so brutal her music, that she probably won't achieve the clout to which she obviously aspires. [Oct 2003, p.99]- Q Magazine

The poppier bits like Jupiter Rising don't always work, but the darkly gritty Time In Babylon, in particular, shows just how far Harris has pushed the traditional country sound. [Oct 2003, p.104]- Q Magazine

None of their new album will be remembered in a few years' time. Yet, like most fast food, there's very little wrong with it right now. [Dec 2003, p.130]- Q Magazine

All very creditable though, for a man who once oozed vitriol, a tad bloodless. [Oct 2003, p.103]- Q Magazine

A far more rounded proposition than 2000's water-treading Chocolate Starfish. [Dec 2003, p.132]- Q Magazine

So Damn Lucky and Trouble are lyrical ballads that succeed through understatement, but elsewhere Gravedigger is an awful, hectoring anti-war lament. [Jan 2004, p.117]- Q Magazine

Speakerboxxx takes up where Stankonia left off.... The Love Below isn't really hip hop at all. Its sound and lyrics owe a huge debt to, inevitably, George Clinton. [Sep 2003, p.97]- Q Magazine

This assured, intense record heralds the emergence of a major force. [Nov 2003, p.123]- Q Magazine

It's when Bubba stays with his Southern roots... that he really shines. [Oct 2003, p.100]- Q Magazine

- Critic Score
A stark record that showcases her unsettlingly direct vocals. [Dec 2003, p.132]- Q Magazine

- Critic Score
There's nothing unlistenable... but nothing hugely inspiring, either. [Dec 2003, p.120]- Q Magazine
-
- Critic Score
There's plenty here to test the patience of even the sternest fan. [Dec 2003, p.122]- Q Magazine

- Critic Score
The overall effect is a little wayward at times, strangely touching at others, and nutso throughout. [May 2004, p.104]- Q Magazine
