Reviews
4 stars out of 5 -- "JARVIS is a ripe thriller....JARVIS makes the descent into the miasma of mankind a joy.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Courting trouble with wicked glee...Cocker plays a genteel psychopath, dissects the collapse of Western civilization, and mocks mindless escapism.", "The lyrics are expectedly acidic...but the gentle, retro-tinged balladry that pervades the record is a pretty salve for all of the bitterness.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "With originality, unlikely uplift and tunes you can sing along to....A lot to re-connect with.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "His finest batch of songs since THIS IS HARDCORE. The songs are languid Eurotrash ballads, strung out on New Wave highs while hitting a post-punk low; his voice is a sultry whisper of bemused adult lust.", "Best are lacerating hidden track 'Running the World' and glam-rock cruncher 'Don't Let Him Waste Your Time.'" -- Grade: B, Ranked #24 in Q Magazine's "100 Greatest Albums of 2006" -- "A collection of elegant torch and glam-pop songs...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "There's an adventurous electronic edge that adds hints of darkness without ever enveloping proceedings in gloom."
