  1. Although they have some serviceable indie disco hits, Clor are merely the latest production line band to explore a niche in the market, though their attempt at nerdy, computerised post punk rubs one off as a flawed blend of, of all things, The Downward Spiral and Zwan.
  2. Clor has a number of entertaining and inviting songs in the final tracks, but nothing that quite lives up to first four tracks.
  3. Clor’s singer and main-man Barry Dobbin unfortunately posses the kind of high, straining voice that grates to the point of making you want to punch him on the nose, and when combined with the incessant business of the band’s undoubtedly clever and accomplished music it makes this eponymous debut feel like an effort to listen to.
  4. Even when it runs out of creative juice, Clor gets by on energy and production alone until the juices get flowing again.
