    A solo effort that should not be overlooked

  2. 8.0 |   Uncut

    Print edition only

  3. 6.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    The album falters under the weight of ideas fighting their way into pleasingly coasting subtleties

  4. 6.0 |   Mojo

    Print edition only

  5. 6.0 |   Q

    Print edition only

  6. 5.0 |   musicOMH

  7. 5.0 |   The Digital Fix

    It frames moments of brilliance around a skeleton of unjustified drama and it has all the hallmarks of a concept album except an actual concept
