    self-satisfied, lifeless cod-funk workouts from a pub band only notable for their sax player. the most grating aspect of this album is the self-pitying lyrics, delivered in a nasal whine that will make anyone with working ears want to hack them off, a la van gogh. rubbish.

    Upon hearing this album for the first time, I could not escape the feeling that I was listening to a very bad Hall & Oates tribute band. I know all the cool indie rock kids are pillaging every aspect of 80's new wave these days, but cheesy white boy R&B pop a la Huey Lewis and the News is just as lame today as it was then and should be left buried with the careers of those who Upon hearing this album for the first time, I could not escape the feeling that I was listening to a very bad Hall & Oates tribute band.

    Experimental it ain't, but this summer in a shiny flat box it is.

    The second album is much easier on the ear than its unvarnished predecessor.

    The boundary-trampling spirit that makes their music stretch out almost infinitely live remains barely tapped. What keeps The Zutons special is singer David McCabe's lyrics. [May 2006, p.108]
