  1. 10.0 |   Uncut

    There really was, and never will be anything like them. A brilliant album. Print edition only

  2. 8.3 |   A.V. Club

    While the group has always drawn from the acoustic-electric rock of the ’60s and ’70s, Throw It To The Universe draws equally from more recent fare, from the glam guitar sheen of The Strokes to the experimental pop of Grizzly Bear

  4. 8.0 |   Mojo

    The group's hermeticism-influenced lyrics remain cryptic as ever, it's true, but TSOOL will be missed. Print edition only

  5. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    This dependable album demonstrates again that classic rock played by its attentive fans can remain dignified and confident

    Tired '70s AM titles like "Freeride" and "Shine On" reflect album's vitality

The Beths  Straight Line Was A Lie

They’ve made their most mature, most incisive album yet. Not reinvention. Continuance. The long way round, mapped with clarity Dork

Baxter Dury  Allbarone

Allbarone is the next destination for Dury as an experimental artist; he’s successfully been able to capture something new with his twist on hyperpop. The result is an intriguing effort that catapults him into the future realms of pop Beats Per Minute

Baxter Dury  Allbarone

Allbarone is Baxter Dury’s most hypnotic and groovy record yet, fusing his sardonic wit with club-ready beats. Distinct, contemporary, and utterly Dury, the artist’s ninth album proves he’s far from running out of ideas Northern Transmissions
