Walking With Thee Image
  • Summary: The distinctive Liverpool indie/garage band is back with a follow-up to their well-received 2000 debut 'Internal Wrangler' (which was just released last fall in the U.S.). The positive press generated by these two releases led to the band signing a major-label deal with Universal, which re-released 'Walking With Thee' on August 6, 2002. Expand

    Just like the architects behind Kid A, they take all these creepy elements and make something totally excellent.
  2. A major step forward, with complete songs built around a rhythmic pulse that owes nothing to modern dance-music conventions but would still sound spectacular in a sweaty club.
  3. 'Walking With Thee' is barely forty minutes in length, but feels about half that length - not because it flies by, but because throughout, it barely feels substantial.

    My observation: those already familiar with Clinic were somewhat dissapointed with this release, while those who discovered Clinic with Walking With Thee were enthralled. I got both at the same time and was blown away, and found this release every bit as hypnotically brilliant as Internal Wrangler. I strongly recommend both to any true music lover. Expand

    Good, but the last 5 songs don't live up to the first 6. But even they're okay. "The Equaliser" is awesome.
