Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
The surprise success story of the "Scousadelic" Liverpool scene, on Tired Of Hangin’ Around The Zutons trump their debut with an assured, confident collection of songs that accentuate their skill for vintage R&B, 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. --Louis Pattison

From the Label
Tired Of Hangin’ Around was produced by Stephen Street (The Kaiser Chiefs/ The Smiths) and recorded at Townhouse and Olympic Studios at the tail end of 2005.

After triumphant appearances last year at the V & Glastonbury Festivals and huge shows with U2, Oasis, REM and The Killers, The Zutons have forged a reputation as one of the best and most popular live bands in the country. The Zutons are: David McCabe – vocals / guitar, Abi Harding – Saxophone, Boyan Chowdhury – guitar, Sean Payne – drums and Russell Pritchard – Bass.

4.0 out of 5 stars Retro but Contempory, 12 Jul 2006
By Richard - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
I have played this a few times now, but it is still fresh and continues to grow on me, however the knockout tracks for me, are the two singles: 'Valerie' and 'Why don't you give me your love', plus 'Oh Stacey (look what you've done)' and 'I know I'll never leave', which vocally David McCabe really belts out. The Zutons have a retro sound, but with contempory lyrics. They're like a mix of: The Faces, Marc Bolan & T-Rex, and 'Ziggy Stardust' & 'Aladdin Sane' period Bowie, finished off with a Britpop sensibility, and Ska type saxophone playing courtesy of sax on legs - Abi Harding, who is an awesome sax player, and if it were 1979/1980, she would probably be in a Ska band like The Bodysnatchers. The song that really blew me away the most, out of all the songs that I mentioned, was 'Oh Stacey (look what you've done)'. The breezy saxophone playing, combined with it's uplifting tune, is very deceptive, because lyrically it is a very tragic tale about a daughter stressing out her dad to the point where the stress kills him, and then she drinks her inheritence money to cope with what she's done. We have a great British tradition of writing tragic lyrics disguised in upbeat commercial sounding songs. Buy it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good, 1 Sep 2006
This is a great album, I would recommend it to almost anyone. However, it has to be said that it isnt quite as good as the first album. Who Killed the Zutons? has many more memorable tracks, and a few interesting oddities such as "Moons and Horror Shows" and "Don't Ever Think Too Much". "Valerie" & "Why Won't You Give Me Your Love" are catchy tracks though, and you're singing along before you know it.
I also found that the first track sounds very much like Status Quo, anyone else agree?

Nonetheless its still excellent stuff, and the real matter now is whether the Zutons can produce the goods in an infamously difficult third album.

4.0 out of 5 stars And now for something completely different..., 30 Jul 2006
I bought the first Zutons album after seeing their amazing set at Glastonbury 2004, i was really impressed with their hard-to-pin-down form of rock and so when they released a new album i bought almost as soon as i could.
This latest offering is vastly different from their first- whereas the first was somewhere between indy, funk and folk the second falls squarely in the indy pop category- upbeat guitar pop full of lyrics taken straight out of an angst teenagers diary. The Zutons may of lost their edge but that doesnt mean that this is a bad album- it just caters to a different audience.
Reserve judgement and just enjoy it.
