Bruce Springsteen - High Hopes
"It's not a Springsteen classic and there aren't any great surprises, but it's good enough to keep the fans happy."
Neck Deep - Wishful Thinking
"There are some high points (Losing Teeth, Zoltar Speaks) and there's no doubt that they've got the chops, what with strong vocal harmonies and riffs, but it's all been done; there's nothing to take away."
Iced Earth - Plagues Of Babylon
"Iced Earth is an unpredictable beast."
Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings - Give The People What They Want
"Whether she's harmonising on Get Up And Get Out or roaring her womanhood on Now I See, she reminds us that, frankly, they don't make records like this anymore."
Rosanne Cash - The River And The Thread
"This may be her best yet, eschewing country music clichés while remaining firmly rooted in the rich storytelling world of Americana."
Mogwai - Rave Tapes
"Don't be fooled by Mogwai's penchant for playful titles as there are still guitars, noise and ambient charm aplenty across Rave Tapes: just be prepared for a complex, dynamic, thinking man's kind of rave."
McAlister Kemp - Harder To Tame
"The themes remain the same, but it's Harder To Tame that is their most obvious attempt at playing for a global mainstream audience."
Chrome Division - Infernal Rock Eternal
"Less dirt under the fingernails, but The Absinthe Voyage and On The Run Again's sharpened melodies prove memorable winners."
Sarah Blasko - I Awake: Live At Sydney Opera House
"All poise and daggy dancing, she gets lost just enough to be captivating."
Angel Haze - Dirty Gold
"While there's no denying her on-point skills as a rapper or ability to punch out candid lyrics, there's nothing groundbreaking here."
