Cadogan's threesome seem an altogether leaner, meaner deal. [Feb 2007, p.78]- Uncut

The result is akin to walking in the woods alone at midnight--both spooky and compelling. [Nov 2006, p.104]- Uncut

Clearly, appealing quirks can easily become irksome affectations. [Apr 2007, p.94]- Uncut

The biggest surprise is how rarely this scratch supergroup really swings to its full potential. [Feb 2007, p.68]- Uncut

- Critic Score
Wincing isn't so much a departure as it is an all-out augmentation, taking the best things about The Shins and amplifying them. [Feb 2007, p.72]- Uncut
-
- Critic Score
At best, Hissing Fauna... posits its creator as the missing link between Hot Chip and Morrissey. [Mar 2007, p.88]- Uncut
-
- Critic Score
Reuniting her ex-bandmates adds a rock impetus to Doiron's more fragile solo work. [Feb 2007, p.74]- Uncut

Like its predecessor, the most impressive aspect of The Enemy Chorus is not so much the breadth of its references as the tumescent, head-spinning harmonies. [Feb 2007, p.74]- Uncut

Though garlanded in elegant strings, it's as furiously seething a record as she's made in 20 years. [Mar 2007, p.82]- Uncut

This wonderful record already feels like a cult classic. [Feb 2007, p.88]- Uncut

This largely instrumental set is a nicely ambient version of their usual hellacious harmonics, but also a reminder how the band have attained creative control on a major label. [Feb 2007, p.85]- Uncut

Another terrific collection, tacking a stylish course between Jam and Lewis, Zapp and raving crunk. [May 2007, p.88]- Uncut

Concise at 12 tracks, the stylistic coherence seldom fails to engage. [Feb 2007, p.73]- Uncut

- Critic Score
The band seem to have suffered a who-are-we?-style mid-life crisis. [Jan 2007, p.100]- Uncut
-
- Critic Score
A dense and abrasive record of astonishing precocity, which, if it has a fault, is only that it occasionally offers brute intensity in excess of the impact Pemberton's razor-sharp verses. [Oct 2008, p.87]- Uncut

Whilst a gift for converting arrogance into entertainment has always been one of Jay-Z’s strongest suits, Kingdom Come skirts perilously close to the showboating that marred 2002’s bloated double album, The Blueprint 2.- Uncut

Beast Moans can be drowsy at times... but it's punctuated by bursts of poetic insight and near-orgasmic glee. [Jan 2007, p.103]- Uncut

- Critic Score
If the scale is almost beyond comprehension, Love also represents a sonic Da Vinci Code for Beatles trainspotters. [Dec 2006, p.104]- Uncut

It's remarkable... how much of a piece the entire set is, reflecting how skilfully Waits has welded the various tributary styles of his art into a seamless whole. [Dec 2006, p.122]- Uncut

- Critic Score
Snoop's patter soon descends into G-funk pastiche and cretinous misogyny. [Feb 2007, p.85]- Uncut
-
- Critic Score
The tone is generally one of mild encouragement, of jollying-along the reluctant participants in this most fraught of celebrations, as indicated by titles like "Hey Guys! It's Christmas Time!" and "It's Christmas! Let's Be Glad!".- Uncut

Their scratchily rhythmic guitar music with dour, sardonic vocals has proved immensely influential. [Dec 2006, p.114]- Uncut

- Critic Score
For the 56 minutes that "Ys" lasts, all the doubts evaporate. Every elaboration has a purpose, every labyrinthine melodic detour feels necessary rather than contrived. Tempting as it is to fixate on the gilded reputations of her associates, this is unequivocally Newsom’s album.- Uncut
