This is like if the Black Keys wrote interesting songs. Amazing.
Grand
Never heard of the zutins, music was interesting may return to see what else they have to offer
I quite enjoyed this. I had never heard to The Zutons, but they surprised me. A few weaker tracks in the middle, but over all enjoyable. 3.5/5
I never realised The Zutons were considered big enough to be an essential listen. Before listening to this album, I think the only songs I know by the is Valerie (which isn’t on this album). That certainly leaves me intrigued, so I’m looking forward to listening to this one. Songs I already knew: You Will You Won’t, Confusion Favourites: Confusion, Remember Me Firstly, it turns out I do know more by The Zutons than I realised. This album made me feel 18 again in the local indie rock bar (which, to be fair, likely still play the same much nowadays too). I was expecting pure indie rock, but there was definite folk influence with plenty of acoustic guitar niceness. Overall, I enjoyed this album quite a lot. I haven’t even mentioned how nice the singer’s voice is. Well it is.
I usually like Brit Pop. This album was just ok for me. It would probably grow in me if I listened a few more times.
Quite a bit filler but very fond memories
Ach … nö.
Pressure point Remember me Railroad
What a nice discovery! In 2010 I would have loved this shit
Nice music that's quite representative of this century first decade's music. However, I fail to see the incredible in it, that quality that should place it in some exclusive list like this one is meant to be.
Rock indie
These guys are fine.
Eh. Too retro. Squirrel mutt dippers
When I saw the name and album cover, I assumed this was going to be some obnoxious third wave ska album. It turned out to be bland indie rock instead, so I guess that's slightly better?
Meh
De la britpop à moitié convaincante selon moi. Robert arrête de nous demander de l'argent.
Le soleil se lève sur un ciel nuageux aujourd'hui, et on se fait toujorus autant chier dans le générateur
Enjoyable at times but not special
nao o melhor deles
Great variety on this album, can hear a ton of influences. Beatles, temptations, spaghetti western, ska, country, folk, really really good.
Hooky and diverse. Well made, too. One'e ears keeping pricking up at all the tasty flavors and intriguing resonances (White Stripes, Las, some loose, Kinks-y swinging, too). Pretty great from a band one confesses to entirely missing in real time.
Aardige rockmuziek. Prima album om te luisteren. Het klinkt voor mij wel een beetje 13 in een dozijn, dus niet heel bijzonder. ***
Pas nécessairement mauvais, l'album se promène dans plusieurs styles différents, ce qui garde ça intéressant et évite de tomber dans la monotonie. Mais cet album est un exemple clair du biais UK car il n'y a rien d'exceptionnel ou de particulièrement marquant. Les styles sont bien exécutés sans plus, les compositions sont correctes. Rien de mauvais, mais rien dont je vais me rappeler. 5.5/10
It's not bad! For an indie guitar record in this period it manages to not be either incredibly annoying or snoresome, vanishingly rare around this time. Obviously it's derivative, but it's not bad. Like The Black Keys except with half decent tunes. I did more or less tune out long before the end though. Suspect this will get an aggregated 3 rating due to collecting lots of 3s, rather than lots of 5s and 1s like many far better albums in this list do.
en me referant aux reviews. C'Est vrai que le cover de l'album me faisait espérer quelques choses de rock éclaté. Mais bon c'est bien normal. du UK rock/indie comme plusieurs albums sur cette lsite. C'est pas mauvais, amis c'est pas malade non plus. 1001 album serieusement ? 3.10
This was definitely one of the albums of all time! But seriously, it is obvious that the person who made this album has a taste (as is his right!) except it not entirely my taste at time. To me this sounded a bit too familiar without it moving me. Not bad, but boring.
Good, will probably not listen again
nice i like it
Pretty simple, but quite enjoyable.
Skeptical of anything from the mid 00's that I haven't heard of. Have people heard of this band, and remember them? The songs vacillate between pretty good and catchy, to simple and boring, to schticky and annoying in a way that it's hard to tell if it's a joke or not. The singer has a strong voice, and the instrumentation sounds good, and in the end I came out liking it. But still skeptical - sounds like their second album made more impact, maybe if we're convinced this band deserves a place on the list that one should be it? I found the second half of the album to be much stronger, starting with "Nightmare Part II."
Another album that sneaks onto the list only by way of UK bias. Unexceptional to the point of being annoying. Taking up precious space that could be filled by more worthy artists. My suggestions for a replacement from 2004 would be MF Doom's "Mm..Food," Fiery Furnace's "Blueberry Boat," Dungen's "Ta det lugnt," or Animal Collective's "Sung Tongs."
More mid 2000s UK brit-rock. Mid being the keyword.
you know I can’t hate it!
Cover art and title suggested it'd be kinda wild. It was not wild. Just more bland UK indie rock. 2/5.
Another shite enough album ffs. Can't tell if this was recorded in 1979, 1999 or 20009.
3.5/5. Nice. This was pretty easy to listen to and I enjoyed it. I would give it another listen at some point.
Strong start, mid finish.
Recht cooler Sound. Muss die Band mal googeln.
Enjoyable.
Wasn't familiar but I liked it a lot!
An unexpected treasure trove of potential playlist and soundtrack gems. 3 zebra futons out of 5 🦓🦓🦓
I have a nostalgic thing for this album. It zips along on a lot of charm and warmth, and enjoys itself throughout. They certainly know how to write a pop song really well. Like the Coral with charisma.
Folkgarage rockindie pop. Súper chulo!
A promising debut for a band that ultimately didn't live up to that promise. Still a bangin' record, though. Best track: Remember Me
Occasional bright spots in an otherwise very middle of the road UK indie rock album from 2004.
4.5 love the variety from high paced indie rock bangers to the softer confusion and remember me. Quite a long album with a couple more scene setting tracks in the middle I enjoyed less but overall a strong choice
Upthereds
