The Reviews Are In

What we've been listening to this week

Tricky - False Idols

"So in many ways, the addition of multiple guest vocalists aside, False Idols is business as usual for Tricky – another unusual addition to an unusual catalogue."

Dialectrix - The Cold Light Of Day

"It takes a couple of listens through the record to really figure out what is going on and realise what a landmark recording this is, and how well Dtrix and Plutonic Lab have this shit figured out."

Dark Tranquillity - Construct

"Fans aren't settling with this album, though. That's no work of fiction."

Hailer - Another Way

"What makes Another Way so impressive is both its variety and its arrangement; these elements shed light on what a damn fine bunch of musicians Hailer are."

Jon Hopkins - Immunity

"Fans will enjoy this new dosage of lush, beat interrupting cinematic electronica and appreciate the variations, but there's little to return to here."

Queens Of The Stone Age - ...Like Clockwork

"The LP may divide opinion, but it's still worth a listen if only to try and pick out where Elton John may have perhaps contributed a fart sound."

Alice In Chains - The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here

"Sludge metal, hard rock – call it what you will; Alice In Chains are still one of the best proponents of heavy guitar music and are showing no reason to court extinction."

Deep Purple - Now What

"Deep Purple are no longer the revolutionary force they once were, but that doesn't diminish their worth."
