There is little to these songs besides Mark's Lennon-like voice and an unobtrusive piano and guitar. [Apr 2007, p.113]- Uncut

- Critic Score
Arrangements range from scraped guitars to epic brass fanfares and, unusually for an album about loners, there's no misanthropy. [Mar 2007, p.86]- Uncut

- Critic Score
All Of A Sudden... rather falls under the shadow of Mogwai and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, but there's ample majesty in its climactic moments to recommend it. [Mar 2007, p.79]- Uncut

If he sometimes misfires... K-OS at least has inventiveness in his sights. [May 2007, p.96]- Uncut

Imagine Bolan produced by Prince, then scrambled by Beck, and you're only halfway there. [Mar 2007, p.85]- Uncut

It's less gonzoid than previous efforts and more effective for that. [Mar 2007, p.79]- Uncut

In his own way, Swift is as vivid a newcomer as Joanna Newsom or early Rufus Wainwright. [Mar 2007, p.84]- Uncut

These articulate odes to pop's past strike the right balance between carefully studied craft and melodic inspiration. [Mar 2007, p.83]- Uncut

Combine[s] utterly maddening complexity with candyfloss pop hooks. [Jun 2007, p.108]- Uncut

An album of sometimes stark simplicity, West is in many places rather drab and charmless. [Mar 2007, p.72]- Uncut

New Magnetic Wonder can make a claim to be the definitive AIS album. [Apr 2007, p.92]- Uncut

For an album that strives to articulate the youthful pleasure-rush of love, drugs, and power, this is a worryingly pedestrian effort. [Mar 2007, p.75]- Uncut

A brave endeavour. But unlike My Chemical Romance's Black Parade, Infinity On High has critically little sense of its own ridiculousness. [Mar 2007, p.79]- Uncut

The added zip only serves to spotlight her stark, moody delivery. [Mar 2007, p.98]- Uncut

- Critic Score
Her songwriting here... demonstrates a depth and majesty previously absent in her work. [Mar 2007, p.82]- Uncut

For all its weird dissonance, Sermon...'s musical crudeness gives it a powerful immediacy. Strangely accessible and highly addictive, it's her best work in three decades. [Mar 2007, p.98]- Uncut

Another sly masterstroke by the canniest widow in rock. [May 2007, p.103]- Uncut

For the most part, this Stockholm outfit's sun-streaked, clever-white-boy pop-funk catches a season as expusitely as Air did circa Moon Safari, or as Hot Chip have more recently. [Aug 2006, p.104]- Uncut

Too often, Aereogramme's tastefulness veers on the side of caution. [Mar 2007, p.75]- Uncut

This may just be [the] finest pop break-up album since [Justin] Timberlake's Justified. [Aug 2006, p.95]- Uncut

What's especially daring about Not Too Late is the degree to which Jones and [producer Lee] Alexander trust their songs and her languorous voice to hold the listener's interest. [Feb 2007, p.75]- Uncut

RoadKillOvercoat fattens his usual oblique rhymes into even more demanding, bombastic forms. [Apr 2007, p.93]- Uncut

Over time, vocalist Aaron Ross stands out as the weak link, his voice merely shrill and average. [Apr 2007, p.102]- Uncut
