Regurgitator - Dirty Pop Fantasy
"With only five of its 19 tracks breaking the three-minute barrier, Dirty Pop Fantasy never messes around in getting to the point."
Satyricon - Satyricon
"While Satyricon sometimes feels under-realised, much like the Demonaz solo record that also tried to marry black metal and rock'n'roll, it has moments of latter-day Darkthrone weirdo brilliance during songs like Walker Upon The Wind."
John Legend - Love In The Future
"Another slick effort from America's pre-eminent soul man."
London Grammar - If You Wait
"Musical restraint has never sounded hotter."
Dent May - Warm Blanket
"Not entirely memorable but never saccharine, Warm Blanket lives up to its title."
Violent Soho - Hungry Ghost
"A band once seen by some as a one-trick pony is now undeniably the complete package. World class."
Goldfrapp - Tales Of Us
"In its entirety, it plays out beautifully with a majestic and cinematic aesthetic that beckons more. Goldfrapp truly are the musical gift that just keeps on giving."
Arctic Monkeys - AM
"Arctic Monkeys seemed to function on only two speeds: breakneck fast thrashing or down tempo middling, but on AM they have by and large conquered that."
The Polyphonic Spree - Yes, It's True
Don't miss a beat with our FREE daily newsletter
"This album is the perfect companion to see in Spring and as you Raise Your Head to the sky, revel in what's truly this year's feelgood hit of the summer."
Superchunk - I Hate Music
"Catchy melodies and hooks aplenty, but still plenty jagged – at the top end of their excellent canon."
Summer Flake - You Can Have It All
"Crase's vocals are soft, worn, yet defiant – and on songs like Blue and Naked Or Nude, she shows a canny familiarity around pop conventions too."
Nancy Vandal - Flogging A Dead Phoenix
"Whether a fond farewell or welcome return, we're lucky to have this hard-arse rocker."
