  8. 8.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

  9. 7.5 |   A.V. Club

    Landing On A Hundred never comes off like a work of mere pastiche, but it rarely sounds like something that only he would have made

  10. 7.0 |   Blurt

    Recorded live on the floor with his band, ChesnuTT's second album cuts the fat away for a lean, no-bullshit sweet soul program that hearkens back to the heyday of the O'Jays and Al Green

  11. 7.0 |   Tone Deaf

    About as close as you can get to a modern day Marvin Gaye or Terrence Trent D’arby

Latest Reviews

Tune-Yards  Better Dreaming

These 11 songs brim with images of armed men, noxious air and entitled egotists, intermingled with notions of self-liberation and community solidarity. But the sonics too often seem stuck in Garbus's past. Print edition only Mojo

Tune-Yards  Better Dreaming

They're following their "first thought" instincts while allowing space for the full expression of Garbus's mighty soul voice. Print edition only Uncut

Billy Nomates  Metalhorse

Altogether, with added depth and melody, it’s Maries’ best yet. Print edition only Mojo
