MorganMay 20, 2007Whenever The Clientele release a CD, you just know there won't be a more lovely album all year. This is no exception. True bliss although nothing here quite displaces 'Impossible' (the Ariadne EP version) as my favourite song of theirs.

ToddWMay 24, 2007These guys aren't shoegaze; they're recline in your chair and gaze at your stereo. The Clientele make music to cool out after a long day spent navigating the nabobs in your neighborhood. Their latest does not disappoint. If you crave calming vocals, exquisite musicality, and uncluttered production, these guys are worth saving your money to purchase this latest.

LawrencePMay 31, 2007Joe L, a 5, come on now, bookshop cassanova is perfect, but all the other tracks are just as good. I think this upbeat and lovely long player is their best yet!

MattD.May 9, 2007Subject to a change to a 10 later - I'm being cautious - but they're like a modern day Bee Gees! I'm comparing them to the Bee Gees' classic rock stuff more than the disco stuff. Meaningful lyrics and striking melodies.

[Anonymous]May 11, 2007A great follow up to Strange Geometry. This album is just as good, mixing back in the their old tricks, in with all their new tricks learned from Strange Geometry.

JoeLMay 15, 2007Bookshop Cassanova is brilliant, but the rest of the album sounds nothing like it....

Under The RadarThis is the sound of a band energized and fearless, starting to savor the precision, to move around a bit within their own tight parameters. [#17, p.83]

BillboardA number of songs significantly pick up the pace for a change. [12 May 2007]

There's nothing to object to and much to admire on God Save The Clientele, but there's also little to celebrate.
