Doves, Kingdom Of Rust [77 score]:

http://www.metacritic.com/music/arti.../kingdomofrust

By expanding their repertoire, taking a few risks, and nailing those harmonies, they’ve made what feels like the first great British album of 2009. - Uncut

Bob Mould, Life And Times [8/10 - allmusic]:

http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p...0:wifyxzw0ldte

This is Mould's purest pop since Sugar, its ballads surging with grace and its muscular songs built on skyscraper hooks. As immediate as Life and Times isn't nearly as diamond-hard as Copper Blue, which is a great part of its appeal: it flows naturally, the music never pushes, it settles, comfortable in its own skin.
