    Track after track of airtight, wide-eyed rock that digs its fingers into your soul for 40 minutes and does...not...let...go

  2. 7.6 |   AltSounds

    What My Shame Is True does well is give the old die-hards Alkaline Trio's best songs since 2003’s Good Mourning, while being approachable enough to keep them appealing for newer and more mainstream music fans

  3. 7.5 |   A.V. Club

    When Skiba’s on fire, he’s one of pop-punk’s best tunesmiths; but when he’s coasting, as he is throughout My Shame Is True, his songs feel less black than beige

    If you are a sceptic who thinks pop punk is a baser pleasure reserved exclusively for the under 16s, you could do a lot worse than check this album out

David Byrne  Who Is The Sky

The artist’s new album of bright, bustling pop is positioned as a celebration of reasons to be cheerful. Often its fountain of optimism feels like a firehose of forced positivity Pitchfork

Ed Sheeran  Play

On the enjoyably moreish Play, the ‘culturally Irish’ star sounds as if he’s back on form. Although we’ve only had time for a quick listen The Irish Times

Baxter Dury  Allbarone

This record plays like his shot for glory, and with tracks as hooky and well-constructed as "Mockingjay" or the title track, there's no reason he shouldn't hit the big time All Music
