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

  1. Under The Radar
    70
    This 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]
  2. Billboard
    70
    A number of songs significantly pick up the pace for a change. [12 May 2007]
  3. There's nothing to object to and much to admire on God Save The Clientele, but there's also little to celebrate.
