Reviews

QUOTE:

NME Cooper Temple Clause just loosened the pressure valves and out plumed the most brilliantly ambitious record of the year. Every bout of drunken paranoia, every poisoned industry handshake, every beep of the cardiac monitor and every ecstatic roar of every shagged-to-the-max crowd of the last two years is here, crammed into a record as wild, vibrant and eclectic as Super Furry Animals' 'Guerilla' or Cooper Temple Clause's forgotten masterpiece 'Six', yet far more coherent than both. A record that laughs in the face of 'genre', taps the wrong shoulder of 'pigeonhole' and ties together the shoelaces of 'expectation'. A record, we'll say it again, like Radiohead think they make.

QUOTE:

ROCKLAB [...] L'album si snoda attraverso il rock elettronico ricco di campionature degli ultimi Radiohead, atmosfere rarefatte che esplodono in muri di chitarre pieni e potenti o dissonanze riempite da una drum machine paranoica e claustrofobica. [...] Pochi riescono a passare da un rock quasi crossover alla soft-electronica nello stesso pezzo (vedi Music Box, la cui riff ammicca però un po' troppo a Passenger dei Deftones). Se non avete provato i Cooper Temple Clause, passate prima per See This Through and Leave. È un album più completo di questo Kick Up the Fire. Ma sono certo che dopo il primo album non potrete fare a meno del secondo, e non sarete comunque delusi da questo nuovissimo act della musica inglese, splendido, originalissimo e imperdonabilmente ignorato in Italia.
