BenJJun 1, 2005Whilst this has very good production, song-for-song it doesn't match their earlier albums, and many songs lack strong melodies and John Bramwell's usually more literate lyrics. Quite disappointing overall.

mattaJan 19, 2006This album is criminally underrated. I really don't get all of the 40 scores from so many reviewers. This album is catchy and poppy but at the same time manages to be very clever and even complex at times. It's not one of the very best albums of 2005, but it's still one of the top 50.

'Gods And Monsters' isn't a bad album, merely average which is a real shame.

MojoWhere Kloot's self-titled second had moments of glowing, maximalist production, here the sound is pared back. [May 2005, p.106]

Q MagazineWhile the bulk of Johnny Bramwell's songwriting attempts to match the gothic fairground swirl of their new sound, the best tracks... remain the most straightforward and acoustic. [May 2005, p.112]
