    While it's easy to break Who Killed the Zutons? down into a series of emulations, you still end up wishing it wasn't all so plastic and more... well, lifelike.

    This sounds like a lost Coral album down to every last detail, which means that it seems silly to venture here unless you've at least bought one Coral album already.
  3. The A.V. Club

    The band doesn't seem to have recombined The Coral's sources in a personal way; instead, it's made a crisp copy, with no spirit of its own.

    McCabe details a stoner's humdrum city life a touch too convincingly at times, but the spirit of musical adventure is nonetheless commendable. [May 2004, p.111]

    Great album and sounds especially the saxophone. Confusion and You Will You Won’t are my favourites.

    I first encountered this band when they opened for Keane at a show i attended. They have long outlasted Keane in my music collection. A fine album.
