MojoWhere Kloot's self-titled second had moments of glowing, maximalist production, here the sound is pared back. [May 2005, p.106]
-
Admirers will likely crown Gods and Monsters the band's best yet, while the lilting chorus of the single, Over My Shoulder, might make even the unititiated cock an ear.

Entertainment WeeklyThis time, [Bramwell] transcends that reference [to Robyn Hitchcock], with angular arrangements and a darkly romantic wit that's all his own. [26 Aug 2005, p.61]
-
SpinEventually it hits you just how godlike catchy these banalities are. [Aug 2005, p.103]
-
Though on the whole, Gods And Monsters is a lesser record than I Am Kloot, what it lacks in great songs, it gains in stylistic advancement.
-
Alternative PressThinking-person's Britpop. [Oct 2005, p.166]
-
No BIG message here; I Am Kloot simply made a good, heartfelt rock record and, without sounding like they had to try too hard, pulled it off.
-
It’s all rather marvellous.
