For the most part, For Now is characterised by a lack of personality and charm. [Apr 2009, p.80]- Uncut

- Critic Score
Gimmicky moments are plentiful, but it's the box-fresh pop songs like "Misery" and "The River" that benefit most from their renewed sense of purpose. [Apr 2007, p.100]- Uncut

This painful exercise in manufactured soul-baring Is a genuinely grim proposition. [Apr 2012, p.82]- Uncut

This fourth offering crams 14 tracks into half an hour and sounds like a sketchbook of ideas rather than a fully formed expression of any kind. [Nov 2008, p.128]- Uncut

- Critic Score
Laced with grime squelches, riot-inducing raps and dark dub, it tackles gun crime, political deceit and terrorism--but also features enough tunes to sugar the pill. [Mar 2009, p.87]- Uncut

Every note, lick, snarl and spit on this album is precisely no more and no less than might be expected of a Lynyrd Skynyrd album. [Oct 2012, p.84]- Uncut

The problem with The Weirdness is that it shoots its bolt immediately and has nothing left to offer. [Apr 2007, p.93]- Uncut

- Critic Score
It's primitive, geezerish stuff but lacks, say, the finesse and humour of contemporary Mike Skinner's work. [Oct 2005, p.112]- Uncut
-
- Critic Score
An unctuous solo album mixing flaccid new songs with slick retreads of classics. [Jan 2018, p.24]- Uncut

It's more accessible than that lute album, but -barring the sole Sting composition, the lovely "The Hounds Of Winter" - it will baffle all but the hardiest Police fan. [Jan 2010, p. 126]- Uncut

- Critic Score
There's a winning way with '70s soft-rock chord changes, but his staggering lyrical banalities makes most of this virtually unlistenable. [May 2009, p.89]- Uncut
-
- Critic Score
The narcotic haze of early singles is missed, but their knack with a loping pop hook is still ever-present and thier euphoric harmonies find new perches in "Back Where We Started" and "Twit Twoo." [Aug 2009, p.109]- Uncut

- Critic Score
The arrangements are banal, but the tunes are exquisite, and his voice, more worn now, is recorded intimately. [Dec 2002, p.148]- Uncut

This ill-fitting rebirth, fronted by the defiantly ungay, unIndian and uneccentric Paul Rodgers, can be seen as an attempt to ditch the Mercury-inspired absurdity and bolster Queen’s hard 'rawkin’credentials.- Uncut

Thanks to her Valley Girl charisma and omnivorous sexual gaze she mostly succeeds. [Dec 2012, p.73]- Uncut

This is music that was manufactured to be played everywhere except those places to which people go when they want to hear music. [Oct 2008, p.105]- Uncut

It was the anger and angst of a jilted 20-year-old that gave the original songs their edge--something entirely absent from these blandly matured acoustic versions. [Aug 2005, p.90]- Uncut

You're willing him to succeed, but ultimately it's hard to listen to a lot of this album without cringing. [Aug 2010, p.78]- Uncut

At least it is in its worst moments the songs beome subservient to clunky genre experiment. [Apr 2010, p.92]- Uncut

Collins... sounds dated with his glossy production, precision session-playing and radio-friendly songs all done by numbers with a great big hole where a heart should be. [Dec 2002, p.129]- Uncut

Famous First Words passes by amiably enough, like a TV clip-show but is eerily without a sense of place, time or even quirk to make you believe in it. [Sep 2011, p.98]- Uncut

Lyrically, the fare wavers from the unspectacularly anecdotal to the spinelessly soppy. [Jul 2011, p.121]- Uncut

The most original debut by a Manchester band since Squirrel & G-Man Twenty Four Hour Paty People..., maybe even Unknown Pleasures. [Sep 2002, p.116]- Uncut

- Critic Score
Friday shamelessly rekindles the Eno/Lannois unforgettable shimmer, croons against the dying of the light and somehow emerges defiantly alive. [Jun 2011, p.85]- Uncut

An inspired collection of sonically inventive, discreetly theatrical pop. [May 2017, p.30]- Uncut

Prophet's approach is tailored to suit, exploring modern and antique mythology through the vernacular of folk music. Despite the stylistic departure, The Land That Time Forgot is busy enough to accommodate trace elements of the roots-rock that made his reputation. [Jul 2020, p.28]- Uncut
