These days her winning innocence has turned to mature craft, but she's lost none of her integrity or emotional honesty. [Dec 2002, p.129]- Uncut

The appealing immediacy evident on the debut is smothered by the overbearing production. [Nov 2002, p.118]- Uncut

This is the pop album of 2003 which everyone else will have to beat. [Jul 2003, p.124]- Uncut

- Critic Score
The finest tracks here update the duo's attitude as well as their sound, dissecting anew cultural and emotional climate with a bittersweet detachment reminiscent of the Pet Shop Boys. [Oct 2002, p.124]- Uncut
-
- Critic Score
Basic, sludge-grey power pop that makes Weezer sound as kaleidoscopic as The Flaming Lips. [Nov 2002, p.128]- Uncut
-

This is Calexico on downers, Lee Hazlewood on jolly pills. [Dec 2002, p.131]- Uncut
-
- Critic Score
A sentimental indulgence destined for a theme-pub half-life. [Nov 2002, p.114]- Uncut
-

Think early Air meets hip-hop, the West Coast harmonies and Ultramarine-style tech-fok eccentricities merging with euphoric yet becalmed moodscapes. [Nov 2002, p.113]- Uncut
-
- Critic Score
It's a snappy, catchy hybrid, though one that irritates pretty quickly. [Apr 2003, p.105]- Uncut

It's hard to see how much satisfaction this laconic talent must gain from fiddling with a formula he perfected in 1987. [Nov 2002, p.114]- Uncut

On paper it may sound like brittle Grand Royal retro-cool, but on record it simply belts along with a primal melodic simplicity and sexy nu-wave freshness. [January 2002, p.146]- Uncut

- Critic Score
His melancholic optimism is uplifting and his melodies surprisingly plush. [Dec 2002, p.140]- Uncut

They haven't yet shown enough thrills in righteousness to challenge gangsta's dark, easy attraction. [Nov 2002, p.129]- Uncut

Guests like Emiliana Torrini and Shinehead help make this that rarity: an electronic album with personality. [Dec 2002, p.133]- Uncut

The lovely packaging far outshines the formless and dated rumblings within. [Nov 2002, p.113]- Uncut

Iconoclastic and visceral, Squarepusher is punk rock 2002. [Nov 2002, p.132]- Uncut

Producer Mike Mogis [gives] these delicate songs a sheen that was lacking on their 2001 debut. [Jul 2003, p.114]- Uncut

A decent album of roots-tinged songs that showcases his terse guitar style and detached vocals to solid if unspectacular effect. [Nov 2002, p.122]- Uncut

Whereas so much downtempo leans heavily on two-note, oceanic synth washes, Blue States are masters of detail. [Sep 2002, p.111]- Uncut

For the most part, Anderson's cockernee affectations have gone, as have his references to drugs, gasoline and tube-bound alienation. Instead, we have the sci-fi romance of "Astro Girls" and the rabble-rousing rock of "Street Life." [Nov 2002, p.126]- Uncut

This is pretty gloomy going, not rendered much easier by the lugubrious baritone in which Beck delivers his emotional autopsies, or the vague, amorphous melodies. [Nov 2002, p.116]- Uncut

After a couple of plays, you're struck by Up's sonic cleverness. Three or four listens and the lyrical complexity begins to bite. Finally, and insidiously, after perhaps six or seven plays, the melodies bury themselves in your head. [Oct 2002, p.112]- Uncut
