4.0 out of 5 stars Songs for women with sideburns, 8 Nov 1999
By A Customer
Went to see Del Amitri in March 1990 live in McGonagles, a now defunct venue in Sth. Anne Street, in Dublin. I didn't really want to go. I only knew one song which is the very last song on the album - 'Nothing ever happens'. The Dels seemed to be perplexed with the crowd - come on they shouted. The only song anyone seemed to know was 'Nothing ever happens'. Iwas blown away and immediately ran out the next day in my lunch hour to buy WAKING HOURS. Some people say that on WAKING HOURS Del Amitri found America. I dunno. Their first album in good in an indie sort of way but this is pure listening. Nobody's perfect, and thats something that I'm sure she'll know. How many people have thought that when they are (insecurely going out with someone?) or you've been reading SOS when its just your clock reading 505. Justin Currie's lyrics strike a chord with us insecure people left on this earth - and at the turn of the millennium, I'm afraid there are quite a lot of us. His songs, on this album, on the perfectly produced Change Everything or on the grown up album Twisted, wrench the heart out of you, tell of love lost, on purpose and by accident. They are a soap opera to themselves. Buy all the DELS stuff. They may not be the trendiest band around, but they certainly know how to strike that chord in your heart that hasn't been struck since that girl you asked to dance when you were 14 said 'no' or that guy you fancied like crazy asked your best friend to dance instead of you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Del Amitri version 2 starts here, 15 Mar 2007
Some four years after their long lost debut album came "Waking Hours" and only 2 common things are the voice and lyrics of Justin Currie.

Developed from touring their 1st album across North America, this takes a shift towards the mainstream by amplifying the guitars, adding keyboards and inserting choruses into the songs.

The result of various sessions (3 different producers: Mark Freegard, Gil Norton (later to helm Foo Fighters and Feeder amongst many others) and Hugh Jones), the sound is tougher than earlier but has still has the irony and wit that makes Currie that little bit different than his peers. Thankfully, there isn't a duff song on this album but a couple are less than perfect (tracks 6 to 10 is the weaker half of the CD IMHO), but present are a number of essential songs, especially the closing two tracks "Hatful Of Rain" and "Nothing Ever Happens", the latter being the band highest placing in the UK singles chart.

A good rocking release that hasn't dated too much as there is very little synthesiser and no drum machines here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good start for the dels, 25 Aug 2003
By Mr. C. F. Gilbert "freddy11" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Although I am writing this from a slightly biased view as a huge Del Amitri fan, I think as such I will try to give balanced review.

Although not my favourite dels album, it has a nice upbeat, hopeful feel throughout a lot of it. This is unusual for Justin Currie's pervasively cynical songwriting style, but it is typical of the way that the dels can carry on writing upbeat, major key songs which so painfully describe love lost, or not coming at all.

I think the best tracks off this Album are 'Kiss This Thing Goodbye', and 'Nothing Ever Happens' which are both tops from the back catalogue and also on The Best Of.

If you have never listened to them before, I would recommend starting on Twisted, a later album, mainly because you are sure to know 'Roll to Me' already, and that the material is a lot more accessible.
