    Print edition only

  7. 7.5 |   Uncut

    Entirely bypasses the brash blare of the past 40 years of musical history ... and instead buries itself deep in the pines, making old time music out of wood and wire

  8. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    His most country sounding CD yet, with lovely pedal steel and banjo and harmonica backing his melodious vocals

  9. 7.0 |   Rave Magazine

    LaMontagne possesses a unique voice that reminds the listener of Neil Young’s vulnerable quiver and Glen Frey’s soft rock smoothness simultaneously. And that’s some feat

  10. 6.0 |   Eye Weekly

    Whether you find [the songs] dull or dreamy, this is just the role that LaMontagne seems most comfortable in — a country guy staging his quiet protest against the impersonality of city life

  11. 6.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    An album that tears its way into your head and heart. It’s lacking in some parts, but his takeover, his bequeathing of pain and torment, is almost impossible to pass up

  12. 5.0 |   BBC

    The better songs here don’t quite rescue the disc, but they do suggest that LaMontagne can step outside his comfort zone when he chooses to – it’s just a shame how rarely that occurs

The cover artwork to Ladytron’s latest record Paradises adopts mind trickery by showing two hands touching through a triangle shape that looks both like a reflective mirror and a translucent window. Befitting artwork to hint at the content inside the triad’s album, which often takes the listener to places that are up to one’s own imagination and interpretation God Is In The TV
