    Remi T., your last comment made no sense. It was like you were trying really really hard to sound like a professional critic but you just sound ridiculous. Oh yeah, also this is a pretty good cd. It'll grow on you.

    The warmth it conveys is immense, and along with the happiness it provides, the album also shows that the Clientele continue to be one of the best pop bands around in the 2000s.
