Subtlety can go miles for a band so cultured in bedlam, so naturally, the more reflective moments of CLPPNG speak just as loudly as the weightier ones

The majority of CLPPNG is so accessible, fun, unique, and thought-provoking that its few faults seem like small potatoes in comparison

The Line Of Best Fit
If you found it hard to stomach their previous material, CLPPNG will provide you a rope, from which you can drag yourself into their miscreant lair. Fair warning: they may not let you leave

NME
Clipping's nightmare is riveting, particularly during its sweat-inducing peak 'Get Up', which uses an alarm clock as a beat underneath breakneck verses. Wake up, America

The production is intriguing; this album is not. The killer Intro and Take Off notwithstanding, Diggs has taken the foot off the pedal – and Clppng is clipped as a result
