Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: If merry Liverpudlians the Zutons really do have aspirations to marry Talking Heads with Sly and the Family Stone they fail miserably on Who Killed the Zutons?. There's a riot going on this debut album, but there's no bloodshed, just a mobbish custard pie confrontation between differing factions of pop history. Putting gimmickry to the fore, the Zutons start the album with their Monkees-styled theme tune "Zuton Fever", which could well be a cartoon voodoo version of Echo and the Bunnymen. Then the fun begins: obvious touchstones are the British invasion R&B of the Spencer Davis Group and the Animals (stompers such "Long Time Coming" and "You Will You Won't" are convincing vintage soul fakes) coupled with that awkward evolutionary blip in the 60s when white soulboys went psychedelic (see Zoot Money and Dantalion's Chariot). Add on some ghoulish surf guitars and creepy stuff about zombies, food poisoning and tropical diseases to keep fans of the Cramps happy and then append with the cheapest toy sax in rock since Laura Logic's punk parpings with X-Ray Spex. It works. Even so, the melancholic moments are the best, among them the Kinks-tinted, rainy-day ennui of "Not a Lot to Do" and the cruel-to-be-kind kiss-off of "Confusion" ("from day one, I led you on"). --Kevin Maidment Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - What an amazing CD!!I am 15 year old girl and I think this CD suits all ages and types of people. This is an amazing CD with all my favourite songs from the Zutons, I would also recomend "Tired of Hanging around" and "You can do anything" these are also by the Zutons. Buy and enjoy! :) Rating: - Great DebutIt's quite a task trying to pigeon hole Zutons music. As a Britpop junkie, I can't say who they sound like, I'm guessing the influences are older than I am. I describe it as "spiky" or "edgy". If it's not too pretentious, the music seems to have a lot of sharp edges and funny angles, and having a single saxophone gives this album an individual quality. Favourites for me are Zuton Fever and Don't Ever Think Too Much, but the whole album is something to savour. Rating: - Catchy, catchy, catchyGreat album, great band. Great recording, great live. If you're wondering who the Zutons are (as many do) don't ask too many questions just buy the album. You'll be astounded at how many of the tracks you know and already love from the huge amount of airplay they've deservedly received. Never in my life think I'd say it but the sax makes the album! Rating:  - I give up, who did kill them?The Zutons exemplify the dilemma that music's got itself into. They seem to be looking for a route to something that will mark them out as different and end up compromising themselves by not being one thing or another. It's a sobering thought that this, rightly, is considered to be one of the better albums of recent years. Yet, for all their little devices and versatility, there is nothing on this album that knocks you out. The first three tracks are dogged by uninspiring material. "Confusion" is a fine song but was probably only intended as a gentle breather, while the latin flavour of "Havana Gang Brawl" is quite striking. At this point, I had high hopes for the rest of the album, but it never reaches top gear. Anyone who thinks ... Read More: Rating: - Who would ever think of killing the Zutons!!!???this is such a great album with some really good originl tunes on here my favourite track being Remember me. Zuton Fever (the first song on the album) gets your attetion straight away and i was hooked by the zutons ability to produce tunes that are so catchy and different, plus this cd is a bargain! Even if you haven't heard a singlesong on this album, but maybe heard their later album or you like the kooks, killers, dirty pretty things etc then this is definetely the album for you and remember to listen to Remember Me!!! |
