Clinic: Classic or Dud?

The album, though, sounded rather thin - a lot of short sketches and nothing much compelling outside the singles. I was pretty flabbergasted when America seemed to pick up on them with 'Internal Wrangler', but maybe that was the Radiohead support effect.

'Your sister came to bait me' though is a great line from a great song.

When they stop the war machine from gearing up.

i've come across an album called dysheeki, but it sounds more like... pavement than it does clinic. RYM says its a comp from 1996, but that's the only website that even acknowledges its existence. can anyone help? i can't find any infos on this record at all.

Clinic formed in 1997.

i thought clinic were still called pure morning in '97, but maybe the name change occurred earlier?? PM's stuff sounds a bit more like you describe. the only corroboration i can find with that RYM entry is a couple of random mentions of a clinic track by that name, including a 2000 pitchfork interview..

fyi I love clinic. I have seen them 2x and they were awesome. that is all.

i've done a bit of searching, and yes dysheeki is a collection of the songs from that pure morning era, thanks.

it's an interesting listen, that's for sure.

I <3 "Porno", "Walking with Thee", and the entirety of Internal Wrangler, but haven't really heard anything else out by the band. What am I missing?

not a lot imo, i love the s/t ep and most of IW, but lost interest pretty heavily after that. one of the best organ sounds ever though iirc

this is true.

i lost interest after hearing 'winchester cathedral' as it sounded like the band were running out of steam. 'falstaff' off that album is a mighty song though.

yeah IW is a really great album & 'distortions' is one of my favorite tracks by anyone

s/t EP comp and Internal Wrangler are outstanding. Walking With Thee sets the pattern for the rest of their records because it's half good half forgettable, but i would say the half that is good is essential if you like the band at all. the last three records probably have an albums's worth of good tracks between them.

I love Goodnight Georgie so much.

daniel lopatin collab/remix of 'free reign' not sounding bad at all

Yearly bump where i say distortions is the best song ever

"Internal Wrangler" and early singles = total classic.

Everything after that increases in dudness.

Indeed my man

imagine being the band Clinic, dressing this way for 20 years and it finally paying off pic.twitter.com/KD0RZHm6kU
