For the most part, Laugh Now, Cry Later plays like an unsuccessful attempt to regain hood status. [Sep 2006, p.86]- Uncut

Happily, their third set rejects the sterility of 2004's When It Falls in favour of the kind of nuance-rich arrangements that give contemporary jazz-funk a good name. [Jun 2006, p.126]- Uncut

Anone who saw the original Cars will tell you that these guys blow those guys off the stage. [Jul 2006, p.104]- Uncut

There are mooments... when you get the feeling The Feeling will soon achieve more. Or rather, MOR. [Jul 2006, p.97]- Uncut

Entertainingly eccentric pop, even if at times it seems to pull in too many directions. [Jun 2006, p.103]- Uncut

While poppier and more accessible than his albums fronting Fantomas, it's worth the wait. [Jul 2006, p.104]- Uncut

This is a record that genuinely sounds like nothing you have heard before. If you can rise to its portentous challenge... The Drift will prove to be a frightening, bewitching and rewarding experience. [Jun 2006, p.96]- Uncut

Coming from a former punk goof, all this sentimentality feels somewhat po-faced. [Jul 2006, p.84]- Uncut

MoB have... not lost a cent of their turbulent, controlled-chaos energy. [Jul 2006, p.101]- Uncut

The overwhelming sense is of a group needlessly hobbling themselves. [Jun 2006, p.110]- Uncut

Although A Hundred Miles Off doesn't always score a bullseye, its vibrancy and colour win through. [Oct 2006, p.133]- Uncut

Features more of the uncomplicated Californian country-rock fare that was hinted at by the cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Save Me A Place" on last year's Between EP. [Jul 2006, p.116]- Uncut

Much of Broken Boy Soldiers is fired by the same liberated, intuitive spirit that drives the Stripes. [Jun 2006, p.86]- Uncut

The emotional distance in their music is hard to bridge. [Jun 2006, p.126]- Uncut

Comes across like a hi-fi version of Tom Waits at his gnarliest. [Jun 2006, p.92]- Uncut

Guthrie folds delicate electronic treatments into his statuesque, joyous melodies. [Jul 2006, p.95]- Uncut

Rather than a departure from the zig-zag folktronica of The Beta Band, [it is] more an incremental shift in oddness. [Jun 2006, p.105]- Uncut

Adopting Franz Ferdinand's arty edginess and the raw energy of the Pistols, Art Brut tilt at everything from the ephemeral nature of popular culture to erectile dysfunction. [Jun 2005, p.100]- Uncut

DM's production is unfocused but showy and the album's postmodern lurches suggest a frustrating attention defecit disorder. [Jun 2006, p.90]- Uncut

For those of us who prefer Neil when he's plugged-in and splenetic, it's tempting to call the album his best since 1990's Ragged Glory. Living With War, though, is too much of a frontline dispatch, too consumed with the present, to be easily catalogued for posterity. [Jul 2006, p.82]- Uncut
