Rolling Stone (12/11/03, p.124) - Ranked #113 in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums Of All Time" - "[I]t was a send-up of consumer culture, and the band's first stab at a concept album."Rolling Stone (10/28/99, p.107) - 4.5 stars out of 5 - "...SELL OUT is the most successful concept album ever...To hear these 13 tracks is to be transported to the wistful, alternatingly painful and joyous territory that was the Who's...adolescence."Melody Maker (7/22/95, p.36) - Bloody Essential - "...a masterpiece. A glorious celebration of pop as useless commodity and a commercially corrupted art form....it crosses art-school intelligence with pop flash with neither being cheapened or degraded, and is, as such, a stupendous achievement..."Q (Magazine) (p.112) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Revisiting it now, you can hear a hint of the monolithic rock that would make The Who a stadium act in the '70s, and the knowing humour that would inspire the best of such Britpop disciples as Pulp and Blur."Mojo (Publisher) (p.117) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[W]hat truly defines SELL OUT is its deference to the well-rehearsed language of pop. Kinks-like character vignettes and PET SOUNDS-parroting textures are the dominant influences."NME (Magazine) (7/22/95, p.49) - 9 (out of 10) - "...Townshend finally free of shackles....a stream of brittle, spangly pop songs...which are simply otherworldly....Like all truly great albums, SELL OUT isn't overrated. It's simply that you might not be ready for it yet."Record Collector (magazine) (p.87) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "'I Can See For Miles' was the powerhouse....'I Can't Reach You' and 'Rael' both strayed beyond the previous template of the accepted notions of pop, rich in motifs that would return more fully-formed on TOMMY."Uncut (magazine) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "[A]s this package joyously proves, they never made anything more entertaining or endearing."0.1253602

4 stars out of 4 -- "[O]h, what a film this is! And what a demonstration of the magical, dreamlike qualities of the cinema. "Chicago Sun-Times "CLOUD ATLAS is a movie about migratory souls and wayward civilizations, loaded with soaring themes and flights of feeling..."New York Times "[T]he sincerity with which it pursues the emotion and the very idea of the reverberating impact selfless actions can have is quite moving."Movieline 3 stars out of 5 -- "The movie version has the exciting and challenging parts down....A work that is rapturously grand in scope and ambition..."Box Office "[B]eautifully photographed, elegantly crafted and adventurously cast."Wall Street Journal "[T]he film draws graceful connections between its parallel narratives....A work of many stories, but a singular achievement." -- Grade: BA.V.

Spin (p.73) - "[A] sci-fi tint shifts the perspective from Atlas Sound's usual layered introspection: Inner space now has become outer space."Billboard (p.56) - "Cox's solo project still serves as a repository for some of his more idiosyncratic ideas, as in the woozily sung 'My Angel Is Broken'..."9.797895

Rolling Stone (p.75) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Blake uses neosoul keyboards, blip beats and layered snips of his heart-starved warbling to create eerie, softly roiling slow-jams."Spin (p.75) - "Using lo-fi digital techniques to play up rough edges and raw emotion, Blake's rare talent is to make music so naked seem unshakable."Magnet (p.37) - Ranked #20 in Magnet's '20 Best Albums Of 2011' -- "His itchy productions were born with an innate sense of agitated drama, the tension that lies the shadows of a pregnant pause or fermata rest."The Wire (p.46) - "Blake is an instrumentalist, digital synthesist, producer and engineer too, and -- most crucially of all -- blurs the boundaries between these roles."CMJ - "[Blake] reaches unplumbed emotional depths using the mostly untapped potential of electronics to reach the soul."Q (Magazine) (p.113) - 4 stars out of 5 -- ""Blake has an uncanny ear for what to leave out, and how absence can play on the imagination."Paste (magazine) - "With a stripped-down, uncluttered sound, Blake's creations are hauntingly beautiful. His voice echoes soulfully throughout..."Clash (magazine) - "His are fragile, beautiful songs floating over warmly alien, sometimes seemingly formless musical structures yet it's an effort borne through unconventional levels of space and patience."Uncut (magazine) (p.98) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Blake takes from dubstep an awareness of space and silence; he appreciates the power of a perfectly weighted pause."Uncut (magazine) (p.33) - Ranked #21 in Uncut's '50 Best Albums Of 2011' -- "Blake's debut album revealed him to be an innovative singer-songwriter....Spare, beat-strewn and strikingly plaintive."9.784671
