CD Review: The Clientele - Strange Geometry - Page 3

But really, the best review I can give you is just to point you to some music to hear. Thankfully, the label has seen fit to provide some full tracks to the masses. You can visit the band's music page to hear two songs from the record. These are very representative of the album as a whole, and just quality tunes.

I'd love to objectively tell you how this album ranks in the larger world, but I'm afraid I've been sucked in too deep. I've been listening to it incessantly since I got it. To be honest, I didn't even know I needed this record, but apparantly I did. It's been a much needed and refreshing breeze to blow through my stuffy flat, and a nice change of pace from the bombast currently stifling the airwaves. What it lacks in diversity it makes up for in quality songwriting and delivery. It's one continuous groove, but it's a really, really nice singular groove. It's just satisfying and nourishing fare. What does it sound like? It sounds like I like it.

And after all, breakfast really is the most important meal of the day.

    I absolutely love this album, and was knocked out by the two songs available for free download, especially "Can't Seem to Make You Mine." But the whole album is just gorgeous guitar pop, as the reviewer said. This stuff really burrows into your head, as the reviewer also said.

    I guess what I'm saying is the reviewer is right.
