Any decent music? We review the reviews. You get the final word

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds  Chasing Yesterday

Chasing Yesterday really isn’t a bad album as such: it’s alright, it has its moments, it’ll do The Guardian

Natalie Prass  Natalie Prass

It is the kind of record that, in my experience, only comes along every once in a while; the kind that daintily piques your interest before making a play for the all-consuming Drowned In Sound

Björk  Vulnicura

Vulnicura, more so than her previous records appeals to Iceland’s lumbering volcanic activity, matching its ebbs and flows with grace and subtlety Earbuddy

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds  Chasing Yesterday

'The Right Stuff' is carried along by a nifty percussive shuffle and lovely layered brass that make you wish the entire album carried their production imprint. Print edition only Uncut

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds  Chasing Yesterday

An album alive with lyrical purpose, bookended by outright classics, and plenty of interesting moves and grooves in between. Print edition only Q

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds  Chasing Yesterday

Breaks no new ground but does show more range than we normally expect from Noel Gallagher NOW

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds  Chasing Yesterday

Has its flaws, but they’re far outnumbered by moments where it succeeds in catching up with its titular quarry NME

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds  Chasing Yesterday

Whether we’re talking guitars, lyrical proclamations, or haymakers to siblings, Gallagher remains as bold as ever on Chasing Yesterday, avoiding subtlety and embracing more familiar, dramatic gestures Consequence Of Sound

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds  Chasing Yesterday

It’s never less than an enjoyable listen and Gallagher can write melodies that aren’t just bullet-proof, but probably bomb-proof, tank proof and Death-Star proof as well Drowned In Sound

Sonny & The Sunsets  Talent Night At The Ashram

Showcasing Smith as one of the most unheralded songwriters out there today NOW

Torche  Restarter

The sound of Torche getting comfortable and digging in their heels NOW

Screaming Females  Rose Mountain

The band's straightforward punk leanings give way to more angular, spacious, softer songwriting - and some welcome metal nods in the title track - partway through the 10-track album NOW

Gang Of Four  What Happens Next

‘What Happens Next’ is a distracted listen – an experimental Gill production that should be out under his name only NME

Steve Gunn And The Black Twig Pickers  Seasonal Hire

If you became interested in Steve Gunn's work because of his recent solo records, then this is definitely worth investigating as well The 405

Future Brown  Future Brown

Future Brown sounds like the ultimate urban radio station playlist Beardfood
