How the Music Critic Score works
Confronted by the first Zutons album in a blind test, experts might well have identified it as the work of some long-forgotten art school band from the hinterland of UK prog-rock circa 1970. Instead, this Liverpool group were acclaimed as wildly eclectic, their 2004 debut album selling an astounding 600,000 copies. Produced by Stephen Street, the second album is much easier on the ear than its unvarnished predecessor.
