Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Clinic’s third album doesn’t find the surreal, masked Liverpudlian fourpiece venturing in any bold, new directions. Instead, Winchester Cathedral has them heading down the same twisted path as their previous releases. Fans of Clinic will know what to expect, then: twisted and eerie artrock that sounds like Hitchcockian circus music, with the frantic "Country Mile" and its clenched-teeth vocal delivery setting the pace from the outset. All their trademarks are still here, from the whining harmonium to the jerky guitars. So Winchester Cathedral won’t really garner many converts to Clinic’s weirdness. And that’s a shame--for a band that prides itself on its quirkiness, Winchester Cathedral could have done with a bit more experimentation. What sounded fresh and exciting on Internal Wrangler, their 2001 debut album, now just sounds a bit formulaic and, all too often, repetitive. Still, at least their more die-hard fans will appreciate that W inchester Cathedral still sounds resoluteley like a Clinic album, and no one else. Few bands can boast that. --Robert Burrow

Come again? 22 April 2006

By MusicLibrarian

Format:Audio CD

I'm struggling to understand other peoples reviews of this album. It is amazing. I hadn't heard anything by Clinic before, and actually borrowed it from my local library. I'd seen the album a few times and wondered whether or not to take it and give it a try on the strength of liking the cover. I am so glad I did. The first two tracks are especially, well, awesome. I borrowed this album on Thursday the 20th April, on 21 st I bought Walking With Thee, I was that impressed. Winchester Cathedral is by far the better album though, in my opinion. I keep expecting to get sick of it, but every time it finishes I put it back on. Buy this album and I'LL refund you* if you dont like it. That's how confident I am!

continuation/stagnation 25 Aug 2004

By Mr. D. P. Lloyd

Format:Audio CD

on this,clinic's third album,we get more of the same.
now in many of the reviews i've read this is seen as a bad thing,that clinic are stagnating,not progressing.to a point i agree,there hasn't been the development that critics anticipated.
i'm not sure on what the critics based thier anticipation on though.there wasn't a great leap in style or content between the two previous albums.
so what do you get?
tight,neat, twisted pop songs.some fast and furious,others slow and with unexpected harmony vocals.the liberal use of psycho surf guitar,melodica,occasional piano,and low in the mix spectoral vocals.
all good things.
you can't really compare clinic to other bands.the best way to get a feel for their sound is to listen to one of their cds,and this is as good as any place to start.

Winchester Cathedral 24 Sep 2004

Although my husband thinks all 'Clinic' tracks sound the same, which some critics seem to share the opinion, I still love to listen to this album and the previous two. I recommend this album. My foots a tapping!

Hmm...Clinic?

Distinctly average. Very Disappointed. This album sounds like a band trying to sound like Clinic but not quite succeeding. Read more
