    Uplifting, rueful and expertly crafted. [Jun 2024, p.89]

    Authentic, uplifting and instantly enriching, ‘The Big Decider’ was absolutely worth the wait.

    The lyrics speak tellingly of life experience, but the tunes don’t quite have the pizzazz to match the singing voice. Yet their turn towards the dancefloor is expertly marshalled by Rodgers, whose production tweaks are always tasteful – and this return bodes well in the long run. If they can just add the winsome melodies, The Zutons will be right back up where they deserve to be.
