    Here, their structures adamantly circular and their tunes less catchy but more durable, they make dandy mystagogues on an album that begins inarticulate and attains the nirvana of total nonverbality.

    A band as talented and enjoyable as Clinic should be allowed to distill and advance their sound without getting tarred with the brush of stagnancy.

    Should you own the band's magnificent first three singles (collected on the "Three EPs" mini-album), it's hard to imagine you'll ever really need another record by this conceptually brilliant, artistic dead-end of a band.

    Clinic might sound the same album to album to some, but this is only half true.

In that sense it is quite unfair to discredit them for doing what they've always done, because they have always been original.… Expand
