  5. 8.0 |   Q

    A grippingly dramatic latterday-Leonard Cohen-like near masterpiece. Print edition only

  6. 8.0 |   Mojo

    As this album underlines, she’s more than a mere rock and roll totem. Print edition only

  7. 8.0 |   The Observer

    It isn’t quite as good as 1979’s extraordinary Broken English, but the likes of Falling Back and Sparrows Will Sing are the equal of anything she’s done since

  8. 8.0 |   God Is In The TV

    The involvement of no less than three of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds here casts a spell over the album
    Read Review

  9. 8.0 |   Pitchfork

    Faithfull has always conveyed a sensual gravity with that gravelly voice of hers, but the melancholy on Give My Love to London is tinged with angst and disaffection

  12. 7.0 |   Exclaim

    Her departures from her usual sound are so delightful that it makes one a bit disappointed when she reverts to form

  14. 6.0 |   The Guardian

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
