    Frequently brilliant, occasionally irritating. My advice would be to try-before-you-buy as this won't suit every taste. I think the current 78% rating is a little high though...

    My boyfriend got me this cd for my birthday and I love it (although, my opinion my be biased because it was such a sweet present). We listen to it all the time before we get skeat with each other.

    Clor on their debut album manage to spin out some cheeky, exhilarating, spun out pieces of music. I'm not the dancy type, but on numerous listening occasions I felt the impulse to take my shirt off, perform star jumps and sing along. What more could you want from an indie/dance record? Unfortunately, their musical brilliance is scattered throughout "Clor" but it definately is Clor on their debut album manage to spin out some cheeky, exhilarating, spun out pieces of music. I'm not the dancy type, but on numerous listening occasions I felt the impulse to take my shirt off, perform star jumps and sing along. What more could you want from an indie/dance record? Unfortunately, their musical brilliance is scattered throughout "Clor" but it definately is evident, especially on the camp and fun "Good Stuff" and possible worldwide smash "Love + Pain". Regardless of it's downfalls and inconsistencies, "Clor" is the epitome of a debut album hinting at future greatness. I can't wait for their next outing.… Collapse

    This debut sets the newcomers head and shoulders above the neo-Britpop pack.

    No one around sounds quite like Clor at the moment.

    So, ‘Clor’: an antidote, should you want one, to the let-it-all-out emotional blokeism of Oasis and the oak-lined authenticity of The White Stripes; the sound of a group goofing off because sometimes that’s what life demands.
