  3. 5.0 |   Rolling Stone

    On producer Salaam Remi's outrageous reggae version of "ABC," Michael's junior James Brown testimony will make even purists grin like fools

  4. 4.0 |   The Scotsman

    The chief interest lies with Jackson's new single, also called This Is It. It's not actually that new – originally written in 1980

  5. 4.0 |   The Times

    Completists won’t sleep until they own it. The rest of us may nod off by the second chorus. Mercifully, it turns out that the only reason to buy This Is It is no reason at all

  6. 2.0 |   The Independent

    Surely there's a question mark missing from the title? As a tribute to a recently deceased star, This Is It is a shoddy apology for an album

Latest Reviews

David Byrne  Who Is The Sky

The artist’s new album of bright, bustling pop is positioned as a celebration of reasons to be cheerful. Often its fountain of optimism feels like a firehose of forced positivity Pitchfork

Ed Sheeran  Play

On the enjoyably moreish Play, the ‘culturally Irish’ star sounds as if he’s back on form. Although we’ve only had time for a quick listen The Irish Times

Baxter Dury  Allbarone

This record plays like his shot for glory, and with tracks as hooky and well-constructed as "Mockingjay" or the title track, there's no reason he shouldn't hit the big time All Music
