“In Wayne’s patented way, the songs feel tossed-off: He has a gift for making virtuosity sound casual, while delivering laugh-out-loud punch lines every few seconds. You won’t hear a funnier record all year. Jailbird or civilian, human or moon man, Lil Wayne is pop’s most reliable deliverer of unadulterated fun.” –Rolling Stone

“Americana with a thrillingly cosmopolitan flair, Jack Rose’s acoustic-guitar pickings encompass all manner of sounds not generally associated with that instrument: the elegant drone of ragas or jazz’s syncopated swing. This collection of 10 instrumentals…captures the late Rose’s limber, relaxed guitar style, and the charm of his low-key songs. Jack Rose suffered a [...]

“Belle & Sebastian are looking to get back to basics with their first album since 2005’s tremendous The Life Pursuit. The end product is near perfect. On most tracks, bobbing bass and nimble percussion create a funky pop backdrop for lean guitars and organs to karate-chop their way through songs as elemental as [...]

“Approaching a new Matt & Kim album is like driving up to the gates of a Christian summer camp — the blithe, loving embrace that awaits is, to a nonbeliever, as creepy as it is alluring…Even emo and chamber music get roped into Sidewalks’ exclamatory gush, verifying that there truly is no sound [...]

“Rod is cool and loose, comfortable with the contours of these standards, which he should be after singing them for ten years. He sounds like he’s having fun swinging through the tunes everybody knows by heart, and that’s the difference on an album that’s otherwise interchangeable with what came before: usually, the Great [...]
