Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

You have to feel a little bit sorry for blues-loving, Mercury-Prize-winning indie Brit-rockers Gomez. Following the gargantuan success of their debut LP Bring It On in 1998, they've consistently failed to recapture the same levels of hype and adoration, despite producing several albums' worth of innovative, charming and genuinely atmospheric songs. Whether works like Liquid Skin, In Our Gun and Split the Difference are weaker than Bring It On, or whether they simply didn't get enough promotional oomph, is a debate fans and critics will enjoy for years to come. But Five Men in a Hut - a collection of the band's best singles, flipsides and unreleased tracks from their Virgin/Hut period – provides apologists with arguments aplenty. Not only is the anthology laboriously comprehensive (36 tracks, including their first single "78 Stone Wobble", career highlights "Whipping Piccadilly" and "Get Myself Arrested" plus unreleased tracks "Old China" and "Diskoloadout") - it's also surprisingly listenable. While only an obsessive would sit through both CDs in one go – this is a quintet whose languorous leanings can be narcoleptic, after all - there's just enough magic on each disc to redeem their reputation as enigmatic troubadours par excellence.--Paul Sullivan


CD Description

'Five Men In A Hut' is a retrospective album that looks back over the career of Mercury Prize-winning indie-blues band,Gomez. Fusing the eclecticism of Beck with traditional indie and blues elements, they have enjoyed great success both in the UK and the US with their distinctive, laid back brand of slacker-rock. For the uninitiated, this is the perfect introduction to the band's back catalogue. Includes the tracks'Whippin' Picadilly' and 'Ping One Down'.

5.0 out of 5 stars They beat me to it, 3 Oct 2006
By M. Cox "ferdybar" (Warwickshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Gomez B-sides have always held far more interest for me than the albums. Back in the mid/late 90s I bought a lot of singles and would make my own compilations of the B-sides. Gomez are the only band I've continued to do that with and now my most listened-to stuff on the i-pod is the Gomez Bs playlist. Can't fault 'em. Even when it's fluff like The Cowboy Song, it's entertaining fluff.

Many commentators have suggested that the band have been progressively less interesting as each album has appeared and though I've enjoyed every one, there will always be a sentimental attachment to Bring It On and Liquid Skin. However, every time a single appears, the b-sides usually excite just as much as any Free to Run or Revolutionary Kind ever did. Just take a listen to Caravan from Girlshapedlovedrug. (Not that you'll find it here as the newest stuff isn't included on this Hut-years-only compilation!) But songs like Step Inside and Pop Juice stand shoulder to shoulder with the 'popular' favourites and this collection provides those who have not rushed out to grab the singles a chance to hear virtually two albums worth of bonus quality Gomez material. And that is a good thing.

This isn't a 'best of'. But it certainly contains loads of Gomez's best stuff. There may not be your favourite album tracks here but there are so many fantastic songs that you should hear. My own Gomez compilation may not have matched this one track-for-track but for the moment at least this saves me hours of deliberation over what to include. Do yourself a favour and give it a try - these songs deserve it.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most underrated British bands ever?, 1 Nov 2007
If, like me, you like your music original and by bands a little bit different from the normal rubbish out there, with a lead singer who can REALLY sing and who just write really good songs; then buy this album. You wont be disappointed.
