    • 90 Critic Score
    Live At The Fillmore 1997 stands as both an outstanding document of a great rock'n'roll band at full throttle - and as good a live album as has been made by anybody. [Jan 2023, p.32]
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    There's no shortage of Hendrix live recordings out there, and while this isn't essential, it's very good recording of a fantastic performance. [Dec 2022, p.44]

    A take on "White Cat" from 2017's Plum is strung out to 20-odd minutes. ... Elsewhere they approach their back catalogue with a sense of blissed-out spaciousness. [Nov 2022, p.38]

    Johanna Warren’s sixth solo record is as masterful as it is enchanting. [Oct 2022, p.36]

    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The longer cuts like "Les Echos", "Ann" and "crooked Teeth" are most compelling, with loops projecting through the air and clashing like streamlined silver darts. [Dec 2022, p.32]

    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Time contains KG structurally, but not creatively. "The Land Before Timeland" is a lyrical workout of delicate intricacy. ... "Hypertension" is every bit as light on its feet and the conversational playing between the Gizzards is equally impressive, but it takes more of a pastoral-prog path. [Dec 2022, p.18]

    Fascinating, though fans of their later work are advised to approach with caution. [Dec 2022, p.48]

    • 70 Critic Score
    It lacks the crumbly warmth of Betke's early '00s work, but the likes of "Grauer Sand" and "Stechmück" - pensive, jazzy constructions drawing on the whine of an ailing Minimoog - draw a certain beauty from their tone of smoky introspection. [Dec 2022, p.35]

    The Ruby Cord won't fail to impress. You leave it mind reeling, happily baffled, dazzled by the scope of its achievement. [Dec 2022, p.22]
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The best music here is more evocative of their own past triumphs like 2014's "Do It Again" EP with Robyn. [Jan 2023, p.25]

    • 70 Critic Score
    Understated double set, the material meandering gently, but persuasive in the way its interlocking parts both ride the groove and smear lush textures across these four side-long live cuts. [Jan 2023, p.23]

    A brave, thoroughly welcome comeback. [Dec 2022, p.28]

    • 80 Critic Score
    With World Record, Young tosses things up in the air. For much of the album, he abandons guitar and with it the classic Horse sound, opting to lead on keyboard, mostly pump organ. ... Producer Rick Rubin carefully captures a live sound, a spontaneous first-take feel. [Jan 2023, p.22]
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An album that takes in atmospheric ambient, immersive synth soundscapes and ripples of cosmic electronics that shift from beautifully immersive to hauntingly eerie. [Dec 2022, p.26]

    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Fertita fashions 11 lean, mean garage-like tunes that frequently touch base with his work as a member of The Dead Weather. [Jan 2023, p.27]
    • Uncut
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The accumulative effect is transformative but focusing on the moving parts, the elaborate patterns and the mazes that constantly expand and unwind is fascinating. The stark reality of the music's often caustic infrastructure is never far from the surface; it nags and vies for your attention amid the hum. [Jan 2023, p.26]

    For all its space-oddity trimmings, Feorm Falorx mostly sticks to Plaid's home planet, boldly going where they have been many times before. [Jan 2023, p.24]

    A certain wistfulness pervades this record, as frontman David Best comes to terms with middle age, yet musically they're as sprightly as ever, having minted a shimmering take on krautrock that allows them to explore numerous directions. [Jan 2023, p.18]

    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    [Clemintine] has a rich, resonant baritone which adds gravitas to every note. It is also, perhaps, a trick to his songwriting: there are big truths about love, self, family and identity buried in this collection, but Clemintine is careful to keep the details to himself. [Jan 2023, p.17]

    This is as much a celebration of collaboration, camaraderie and community as it is a noted personal evolution. [Jan 2023, p.17]

    The 51-year-old family man's struggles with depression and anxiety bring unrelenting urgency to the album. [Jan 2023, p.15]

    • 70 Critic Score
    There are times when, while applauding Springsteen's attempts to stay faithful to the originals, you wish he'd taken more chance. ... But that was not his intention, and it becomes hard to carp when he brings off something as triumphantly as his note-perfect version of Frank Wilson's "Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)". [Jan 2023, p.10]
    • 87 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Her voice alone is worth preserving humanity for, hitting peaks of gorgeous, sleek torment on the cosmic beauty of "A Given Thing". [Dec 2022, p.36]
