    • Uncut
    • 57 Metascore

    • 40 Critic Score
    D.A.R.K's serviceable but derivative electronica frames an unremarkable marshalling of collective talents. [Sep 2016, p.73]

    Few of the colourful oddities that filled his debut remain, but there's still much melodic guile to admire--albeit increasingly difficult to love. [Sep 2004, p.96]
    • Uncut
    • 65 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    With less hyperbole and gutter-visionary pretension, Borrell's competent if hygienised NYC punk knock-offs might be more palatable. [Aug 2004, p.104]
    • Uncut
    • 71 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score

    • Uncut
    • 60 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    At times, as on "De Javu," it's a dazzling new dimension, but some may await his return to more conventional zones. [Mar 2012, p.90]

    • 66 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    McCulloch's misplaced his mystique, and resembles a pub singer with an over-extended tab, while Sergeant's guitar lines settle lazily at long-drawn borders. [Oct 2005, p.94]

    • 54 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    It's strangely joyless. [Jun 2007, p.115]

    • 69 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    The appealing immediacy evident on the debut is smothered by the overbearing production. [Nov 2002, p.118]
    • Uncut
    • 70 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score

    • 40 Critic Score

    • Uncut
    • 68 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    17 endurance-defying tracks of gormless, soulless cookie-cutter corporate country, carting woefully trite homilies to smalltown values that leave the listener feeling uneasily like jackson's running from something. [May 2008, p.100]
