Amazon.co.uk Review
The surprise success story of the "Scousadelic" Liverpool scene, on ITired Of Hangin' Around/I The Zutons trump their debut with an assured, confident collection of songs that accentuate their skill for vintage RB, white-man soul, and some of the best rowdy sax since The Specials strode the earth. Perhaps in retrospect it's easy to see why this band have struck the public nerve in the way The Coral and The Bandits never quite could. No spooked, surrealist pirate swashbucklers here--The Zutons' songs are grounded in the here and now, numbers like "It's The Little Things We Do", the sound of frontman Dave McCabe weaving an unsteady path from barstool to barstool with dwindling pay-cheque clutched in fist, or "Valerie"--a message to an ex-lover reminiscent of the tattered majesty of The Faces in their garrulous heyday. Much improved is Abi Harding's saxophone work, now capable of sensitive, jazzy undertones ("You've Got A Friend In Me") or sudden bursts of nutty, bandy-legged strut, and McCabe's soulful vocal is neatly bolstered by full-band backing vocals that add an enjoyably cabaret sense of drama to even the twitchiest blast of skiffle-punk. The sound of a band coming on in leaps and bounds. --ILouis Pattison/I

i liked the zutons original sound on their first album,and it's true what they say about the new stuff...you really feel like the songs on this album are already classics! Valerie is absolutely amazing

I like this album as much as the debut. The excellent production and more mainstream feel should project the Zutons to superstradom. As a buyer of mainly 70's and 80's material I must admit that these are one of only a handful of new(ish)bands that excite me. The quality of the songwriting is reflected in the fact that virtually everybody I know loves "Valerie". I'm sure I will be enjoying this for years to come.

This album is pure brilliance by the scouse quintet responsible for one of the best albums of 2004. br / br /This album is much better put together than their debut (with the help of a new producer), having toned down the saxophone use the band sound more conventional and are better for it. With catchy guitar riffs and heartfelt lyrics this album could well be one of the best of the year. br / br /It bounces along with huge amounts of energy on tracks such as secrets and the title track - tired of hanging around. But also has softer numbers such as Someone watching over me which are equally brilliant. br / br /For me the best track is 'You got a friend in me' alongside other standout tracks 'Valerie' and 'Why won't you give me your love' make this the best album of the year so far and unworthy of the criticism thrown at it by so many.

I thought the first Zutons album was quirky and contained a few great songs but had an underlying feeling of trying to be slightly quirky and different. br / br /This album stands out as it builds on the first album but the songs are much stronger and overall it is far more consistent (almost every track on the album would get at least 4 stars). br / br /One of the best albums of recent times.


5 out of 5 stars Exellent Album-Buy it!!!!   May 17, 2006
