The boundary-trampling spirit that makes their music stretch out almost infinitely live remains barely tapped. What keeps The Zutons special is singer David McCabe's lyrics. [May 2006, p.108]- Uncut

The pappy, throwaway nature of the tunes undermines any serious intent. [Oct 2006, p.124]- Uncut

A sweeter collection of songs this year you'll be hard pushed to find. [Oct 2006, p.110]- Uncut

Empire arrives with the same frazzled mien as Oasis' What's The Story (Morning Glory); alive with paranoia, delivered with an unshakeable self-belief. It's relentless stuff. [Sep 2006, p.80]- Uncut

For the most part, Ben Kweller simply suggests Jackson Browne reared on Weezer. [Oct 2006, p.114]- Uncut

The most immediately striking thing is the effect of the string arrangements, which add an extra layer of haunting mystery. [Oct 2006, p.102]- Uncut

It's a world away from their introspective acoustic work... but [Producer Mitchell] Froom's airbrushed studiocraft... suits their well-crafted songs. [Apr 2007, p.105]- Uncut

A competent, well-intentioned exercise in futility. [Oct 2006, p.110]- Uncut

This is one of the most rambunctiously entertaining and high-spirited records of 2006. [Dec 2006, p.108]- Uncut

While Food & Liquor struggles with its own contradictions, it does so over scorching beats and with lyrical flair. [Dec 2006, p.113]- Uncut

Alas, she doesn't have the power or swing to ride a big band, and as soon as producer Tommy LiPuma turns up the contrast and volume, her voice hardens. [Oct 2006, p.112]- Uncut

Return To Cookie Mountain sees TV solidifying their more ethereal tendencies into denser compositions. [Aug 2006, p.100]- Uncut

It initially seems as if the moments of inspiration between self-indulgences are becoming scarcer. A bracing middle section resuces Amputechture. [Sep 2006, p.89]- Uncut

Adopt[s] a more relaxed approach than 2003's obsessively intricate Kish Kash. [Oct 2006, p.106]- Uncut

Only on the superb, slow-burning "Gravity" does he really sound like himself. [Nov 2006, p.119]- Uncut

Overall there's a sense of a moment having passed. [Oct 2006, p.123]- Uncut

Sounding like a highly-evolved amalgam of their entire output--with added surprises--the beauty of this 12th album lies in its head-spinning diversity. [Oct 2006, p.134]- Uncut

Lacks not only the impressive guestlist [of its predecessor]... but also the sparkle. [Nov 2006, p.99]- Uncut

The duo can't help sounding like they're holding back a little. [Oct 2006, p.99]- Uncut

Injects [Viva Voce's] cosmic American visiion with a creeping paranoia and, in places, a much heavier rockist edge. [Sep 2006, p.106]- Uncut

It's a maddening inversion of all the conventions of songwriting, but a brilliant one nonetheless. [Dec 2006, p.102]- Uncut

Mastodon mostly veer clear of the slick atmospherics that turn other technical metal bands into post-rock wallpaper. [Oct 2006, p.117]- Uncut
