The rhymes are gangsta shit at its laziest and most drearily noxious. [Mar 2002, p.111]- Uncut

- Critic Score
Mainly, this is brilliant pop music... though Beenie's insistence on asserting his celebrated heterosexuality can grate. [Sep 2004, p.101]- Uncut
-
- Critic Score
A stew of funk noir and mashed-up rhythms--a little too mashed-up at times. [Dec 2002, p.130]- Uncut
-
- Critic Score
Early Man pull off metal with a back-to-basics swagger--even if their relentless assault does get a bit samey by the end. [Nov 2005, p.111]- Uncut

- Critic Score
Now regrouped by leader Jerry Cantrell, the bands' sound is still full of menace, melody and doom, chock full of Cantrell's trademark heavy riffs. [Dec 2009, p. 85]- Uncut

- Critic Score
A reliance on rabbity non-sequiters, plus a tendency to change genres every 11 seconds, makes the point of it all rather hard to grasp. [Mar 2016, p.77]- Uncut

Main;y, though, we leave Clinic where we always find them: nervously pacing the room, waiting for something to happen. [May 2007, p.92]- Uncut

An essential half-term report. [Nov 2005, p.94]- Uncut

Album number five is the sound of the law of diminishing returns finally kicking in. [Jul 2012, p.73]- Uncut

A gleefully malevolent testament to the cathartic joys of furious, poison-flecked songwriting. [Oct 2007, p.113]- Uncut

- Critic Score
An album of sometimes stark simplicity, West is in many places rather drab and charmless. [Mar 2007, p.72]- Uncut
-
- Critic Score
This follow-up strives to be less ethereal, and with the somewhat mannered twin vocals of Alejandra and Claudia Deheza more to the fore, it brings to mind Madonna's "Ray Of Light." [Aug 2010, p.94]- Uncut
-
- Critic Score
Simple acoustic music lined with occasional piano and an inglenook voice owing much to early Joni Mitchell or Carole King. [Aug 2006, p.93]- Uncut
-
- Critic Score
Headhunter's laboratory productions are probably just a bit too clinical to transcend their genre. [Jn 2008, p.96]- Uncut

- Critic Score
The thick broth of Kyle Falconer's Scots vowels remain the signature sound--but don't let it distract you from some genuinely adventurous and witty indie guitar rock. [Mar 2009, p.107]- Uncut

It's gritty and urgent, but the powerful lead vocals are melodic and traditional, and the lyrics eloquent. [Aug 2012, p.75]- Uncut

This third album sees him turn to songwriting for the first time as he channels his inner Lou Reed for a freewheeling take on New York art-rock. [Oct 2013, p.83]- Uncut

While Winfield's pompous lyrics and over-earnest tone sometimes grate, the supple disco-funk of "Sparks" shows definite promise. [Aug 2015, p.81]- Uncut

A set of atmospheric trance-like improvs that touches only tangentially on conventional song structures. [Mar 2017, p.32]- Uncut

II mixes sweeping, retro-futuristic synth-pop with brazenly outre guitar shredding and motorik beats to savvy--and emotionally sincere--effect. [Jun 2017, p.33]- Uncut

The sinewy electric guitar lines and occasionally stodgy songs at times stray into the realm of windy stadium-folk, as blandly generic as Smith's name. When it does cut to the heart of the matter, however, Headlong impresses. [Aug 2017, p.37]- Uncut

They've drawn their inspiration from a wider constituency. [Oct 2020, p.25]- Uncut

Nothing about their sixth album sounds like business as usual. Refreshed by time spent independently exploring their own musical interests (Ansell electronica and production work; Carter an Americana-inspired solo album) and inspired by true crime documentaries and podcasts, the duo sought to explore the darker side of the human psyche, leaning into haunted house synth lines and gothic horror bass.
