Directive, lyrical talent alongside prudent, thoughtful instrumentation.
17th February 2011, 12:20pm
Complex, genre-literate songs - but where are the hooks?
28th January 2011, 11:38am
Every moment of its 39-minute duration is saturated with a filmic, dramatic quality.
12th January 2011, 12:22pm
This is not simply an introduction to a man and his work, but the importance of what he created.
29th October 2010, 10:23am
Every track is an exercise in how far a sound can be pushed until breaking.
6th September 2010, 10:13am
The heart and soul of the album lies in the opening two tracks, and it’s all downhill from there.

A vaguely interesting album marred by tedious moments.

It can’t be overstated just how much of an achievement this album is.
27th April 2010, 3:18pm
When Damon Albarn wants to try something out, it will invariably work, and bloody well at that.

This is a band who know exactly where they want to take you.
15th October 2009, 2:53pm
Every note seems well placed to work its way into your head, just like a pop song but much, much better.
25th September 2009, 4:02pm
An unrelenting, flailing squall of noise that’s over before you know quite what’s happened.
18th September 2009, 7:30pm

14th September 2009, 8:44pm
A solid but underwhelming album that could have offered so much more.

An album full of echoes, soaring, distant vocals, pounding drums and instrumentals.

Featuring SOFT PLAY, Corinne Bailey Rae, 86TVs, English Teacher and more!
