EnglishWhat Kinds of Albums and Films Does UNCUT Review?
Updated
UNCUT reviews new and reissued albums across rock, indie, synth-pop, folk and classic singer-songwriter catalogues, and it runs a separate Film & TV Reviews section covering films and television. The reviews are written as long-form critical pieces rather than short ratings blurbs, so they suit readers who want context about the artist and the record's place in a career. The evidence below comes from the current uncut.co.uk homepage.
Album reviews: the range on display
The homepage's album review block shows the breadth in a single screen:
| Artist | Release | Genre area | What the review covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fontaines D.C. | Dopamine Chamber | Indie/rock | The band swapping guitars for icy synths; themes of conflict, digital dependency and despair |
| Soft Cell | Danceteria | Synth-pop | Framed as the duo's farewell, described as a "vivacious nostalgia fest" |
| Jim Ghedi | The Death Of Robin Hood | Folk | A Sheffield folk artist's "dark ruminations," reviewed on 8 October 2026 |
| Elvis Costello | My Aim Is True (reissue) | New wave | Treated as "the making of a new-wave masterpiece" |
| Johnny Marr | The Age Of Everything | Indie | "Sharp songs from an indie survivor" |
| Billy Strings | So Much For Goodbyes | Americana/roots (per the review's framing of grief) | Reviewed as "his best yet" |
Two things stand out. First, UNCUT covers new releases and reissues side by side — a 1977 debut reissue sits alongside a 2026 album. Second, the reviews are evaluative and contextual: the Fontaines D.C. piece is summarised by the sonic shift and its themes, not just a score.
Reissues and archival releases
The Costello entry shows that reissues get full review treatment, not just a listing. The news column also flags remastered and deluxe editions — for example, remastered vinyl reissues from Butthole Surfers and a deluxe Rolling Stones edition with five new songs — which indicates the site tracks catalogue releases as a regular beat.
Film & TV Reviews
UNCUT maintains a dedicated Film & TV Reviews section alongside its music coverage. The homepage excerpt shows it leading with Neil Peart: No One's Discip..., a documentary about the Rush drummer — consistent with the site's habit of covering music films and DVDs as part of its film remit. The site description explicitly lists "films, DVDs and much more" among its content.
What the review style means for you
- If you want a quick verdict: the reviews are long-form, so expect artist background and career context before the judgement.
- If you follow a specific scene: the coverage skews toward guitar-based indie/rock, synth-pop, folk and heritage rock acts, plus archival reissues.
- If you're researching a purchase: reviews of reissues and deluxe editions describe what's in the package, which helps when comparing editions.
Where to find them
Use the Reviews item in the main navigation, which splits into Music and Film; the homepage also surfaces the latest album reviews directly below the news block. Individual reviews are dated (the Ghedi and Soft Cell pieces carry 8 October 2026 dates), so the section works as a chronological feed of new critical writing.
