7 out of 10

This shouldn't be any good, but it is. This should be really boring, 21st century Merseybeat rubbish, but it isn't. They've been essentially been releasing variations on the same song for five years, but The Zutons continue to be one of the most fondly thought of bands in the country, especially live and even though Dave McCabe looks a bit like the Turin Shroud at the moment. 'You Will, You Won't', 'Don't Ever Think (Too Much)', 'Why Won't You Give Your Love', 'Valerie' and 'Always Right Behind You' are all combinations of Oasis style riffing, parps of sax from Abi Harding, curly hair and Dave McCabe shouting because that's more fun than singing. Then the chorus comes in and it's even more of a head lodger than the last one, then they break it down before coming back with the chorus even stronger everyone jumps up and down and then forgets about them until next summer when we hear all the hits again and go, 'Yes, this is why we still love you'.
