They don't make seven-minute doomed-teen-lover melodramas like the Kings of Leon's "Knocked Up" anymore.The group’s name is derived from Nathan, Caleb, and Jared’s father and grandfather, both named Leon.

As a musician Little Boots sings and plays the keyboard, piano, stylophone and a Japanese electronic instrument, called Tenori-on.'A rock frontman who bulk-buys Heinz beans in case of an apocalypse and whose bookshelf has at least one title by David Icke, isn’t a terribly enticing proposition on paper. But, of course, Matt Bellamy’s reluctance to brook any moderation in his world view is the very thing that makes his group so extraordinary. You needn’t spend too long in the company of Muse’s fifth album to realise as much. How the Teignmouth trio must have laughed, last time around, when critics said there was nowhere for them to go from here.'
"A beautifully recorded, strong, sweeping, fighting, uplifting, rocking, and inclusive record about love."
"sweeping collection of songs where classical and rock influences collide but never clash" and even going so far as saying the album is "a genuine modern masterpiece".

Entertaining and rabble-rousing, daft and deadly serious, it's a fantastic record, with almost limitless appeal.

A work of dazzling scope and grandeur... It is impossible to imagine any other band making music quite like this
Black Holes and Revelations
When Christy Moore sings you can't help but pay attention and, as the title demands, listen. That famously smouldering voice, pungently burnished by years of wringing wit and wisdom from an versatile songbook retains its commanding presence throughout his first album since 2005.
No stranger to having accolades heaped upon a recording career spanning 40 years (including the hugely influential 70s folk group, Planxty), Moore is heard praising others for a change.
Pink Floyd's Shine On You Crazy Diamond, sounds as though its always been waiting to be coaxed into this forlorn, softly-sung eulogy to Syd Barrett, whilst Moore turns on the flinty anger in Duffy's Cut, spitting questions about 57 Irish navvies who mysteriously lost their lives building America's railroad in the 19th Century.

"Eliane is a rare talent. She is of a new generation of aggressive pianists that attack music like a lioness attacking its prey, at the same time expressing a tenderness within the core of her passion that at times has brought me to tears. She never seems to run out of inventive ideas. It was a great joy for me to join her one to one as dueling pianists bent not on competing but challenging each other to reach deep down for shapes and colors to construct a musical painting." - Herbie Hancock
Elias is the poster girl for jazz globalization. Brazilian-born, now New York-based, Elias reveals her Latin roots, her classical apprenticeship, her harmonically complex composing skills and her refreshingly contemporary keyboard chops in her performance. All this, in collaboration with Brookmeyer, makes for an outstanding session. - Jazz Times on Impulsive!
