Bastian's Happy Flight - Heart/Works
"Not as obviously pisstaking and one trick as Donny Benet, but a lot may depend on how seriously you regard Hall &/or Oates."
Sures - The Night Hero Waste Time Getting Better
"Young and intriguing. And potentially very fine."
Zola Jesus - Versions
"Of the nine songs here, only one is a new track and five are from her most recent LP, so there is a tendency to compare these to the originals or perhaps feel slighted by a cover album of one's own songs – but this wouldn't be fair."
A$AP Ferg - Trap Lord
"Trap Lord is not that artist's album; this is not the fun Ferg promised. It's a debut, sure, but for now his apparent destiny seems a little way off."
Blessthefall - Hollow Bodies
"It's the grittier songs where Blessthefall sound more comfortable – and they do that honourably."
DevilDriver - Winter Kills
"Few curveballs, but another mosh-friendly beast."
Tired Pony - The Ghost Of The Mountain
"Light, sincere and reflective, The Ghost Of The Mountain is a great example of a supergroup creating something new, individual and worthwhile."
Belle & Sebastian - The Third Eye Centre
"With such perfect indie pop offerings as Heaven In The Afternoon, The Third Eye Centre is a definite must have."
King Krule - 6 Feet Beneath The Moon
"Marshall is a brilliant lyricist, largely because he sings every word like he is blaming the listener (and the critic) for his having written it."
Sara Storer - Lovegrass
"This feels right, it feels natural and it feels comfortable."
Franz Ferdinand - Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action
"If their goal was to make another record of catchy, tight-jeaned alt-rock, Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action more than delivers."
Avenged Sevenfold - Hail To The King
"Avenged Sevenfold, FUCK YEAH!"
