    Utterly ridiculous; by the time the disc ends, we are left wondering, "Who really did kill the Zutons? I WANT TO KNOW, DAMMIT!"

  1. 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.
  2. A thoughtful and inventive debut album that is more accomplished and accessible than the first offering by [The Coral].
