Based on 22 critics - Overal Score:  71/ 100

Description: 'Sigh No More' is the debut record from London based outfit Mumford & Sons. Bonding over a love of folk, country and bluegrass the four piece became part of the London folk scene that kicked started the careers of Laura Marling and Noah And The Whale. Produced by Markus Drays (Maccabees,Arcade Fire) the record sees the group's twee sounding folk fleshed out, giving 'Sigh No More' a sound which is similar in tone to that of Drays' previous clients.

Peter Bjorn And John - Living Thing

review: Their record fillers are [swpop] more difficult [under-g] to understand when PB&J are the only one's who [under-g] dwell in their abstract world. Some of the [under-g] trax i'll never listen to again, while [under-g] others affirm why i like the group.[under-g] Far from 'Writers Block' their latest LP shows [under-g] they have new intriguing [swpop] concepts...maybe more to offer.

Julian Casablancas - Phrazes for the Young

review: A fantastically ambitious record, if a little flawed. [indrock] Highlights include Glass, 11th Dimension, River of Brakelights & Tourist. [indrock] I feel that the genre style of some tracks are inconsistent with the rest of the record. This is most apparent in 4 Chords of the [indrock] Apocalypse & Ludlow St. [indrock] However these two tracks have points strong enough to more [indrock] than justify their inclusion on the record (4 Chords... solo, Ludlow St.'s Chorus) [indrock] and eventually grew to be loved.

Converge - Axe To Fall

Axe to Fall takes the classic (under-g) Converge sound, expands on it and (under-g) throws in some awesome (under-g) guest artists and the result is (under-g) the most accessible, genre-defying (under-g) Converge record yet and they don't lose a bit of their intensity.

Elvis Costello - Secret, Profane & Sugarcane

Elvis is a pop connoisseur; he (cuntury) knows the good from bad. (under-g) So why would he release this? It's an record of nothing; (under-g) I refuse to believe that he actually considers these a quality set of tracks. (under-g) Sure, the backing band does what a backing band should do, and the production (under-g) is sufficient, and every now and then Costello says something half clever, (under-g) but it's all decoration hiding the fact that nothing's there. (under-g) Not a single song is a keeper. Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, hell, even Neil Young and to an extent (under-g) Randy Newman prove that just because you're old doesn't mean you (under-g) can't still put out some great (if not quite classic-quality)(under-g) material.

Joe Henry - Blood From Stars

Good album. It's beautifully recorded, (under-g) written, played and executed.

Genre: Rock Styles: Contemporary Singer/ Songwriter, Jazz Blues, Folk-Pop

Passion Pit - Manners

The record is undeniably catchy & the lyrics are a step (under-g) above the traditional electro-indie fare. (under-g) It's accessible enough to play at any party while (under-g) deep enough to play for yourself when you're alone just looking to have something (under-g) profoundly enjoyable enter your ears.

Trueloves Gutter by Richard Hawley

He's perfected a mood here and sustained (under-g) it throughout the entire record there is no escaping this drawing-room mystery. (under-g) Perfect for the autumnal intellectual.
