Tired of Hanging Around is the second studio album by the British rock band The Zutons, released in the UK on 17 April 2006. Produced by Stephen Street, the album was recorded at Townhouse and Olympic Studios in 2005. The album charted at 2 on the UK album charts. [1]

Background

By October 2004, the band had accumulated ten tracks for their second album. [2] In February 2005, McCabe said the band had been making demos using MiniDisc during their touring schedule. [3]

Tired of Hanging Around was recorded in late 2005 with producer Stephen Street in London, who was known for working with Britpop acts. McCabe thought it was "good for him [to work with us] cause he must be sick of the pork pie hats and all that. I don’t not like British music, but I’m not into that whole London thing [... so] it’s probably good for him to do a band like the Zutons cause we’re not really like anything else in Britain". [4] During this, they performed at Iceland Airwaves festival in October 2005. [5]

Composition and lyrics

Overview

Musically, the sound of Tired of Hanging Around has been described as Northern soul, [6] [7] rock [6] [8] and indie pop. [9] Pete Cashmore of NME said the songs could be divided into two sets: "'feeling threatened' and 'being threatening'. The former camp houses the melodically gorgeous," such as "Tired of Hanging Around" and "Someone Watching Over Me". The second group, meanwhile, featured "Oh Stacey (Look What You've Done!)" and "You've Got a Friend in Me". [10] The Guardian writer Mat Snow said the Zutons' "stylistic palette has moved on to 1972 (imagine early Roxy Music without [Bryan] Ferry or [Brian] Eno); the drums have punch, the instrumental textures a rounded warmth, and the band work hard to accentuate the songs with telling detail and ear-catching hooks". [11]

Tired of Hanging Around featured less guitarwork and more saxophone, courtesy of member Abi Harding. [12] The Phoenix writer Brian E. King said McCabe's voice fluctuated between that of U2 frontman Bono and Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell, [8] while Snow thought it sat between Take That's Robbie Williams and Paul Heaton of the Beautiful South, "sound[ing like] a troubled soul, expressing frustration and dyspepsia in cleverly written kitchen-sink fantasies". [11] McCabe explained that many of the album's songs were "about giving yourself a bit of a hard time [...] 'cause you've gone out and got drunk or let someone down". [13] He mentioned that several of them were influenced by promoting Who Killed...... The Zutons? on tour; "Valerie" and "Oh Stacey (Look What You've Done!)" in particular were inspired by the band meeting people when they supported Keane and Muse. [4]

Tracks

The album's opening track, "Tired of Hanging Around", was written by McCabe while on a plane in the US, tackling the theme of transportation: "waiting for someone to pick you up and they don’t turn up on time [...] and people that are "being ignorant when they do turn up, [coming] with attitudes and bringing it with them". [4] PopMatters contributor Michael Keefe wrote that it is a story of "anxiety in a fast-paced world [that] pivots around an actual bus", [14] reminiscent of the Teardrop Explodes. [10] McCabe explained that it was described being at a bus stop waiting for someone that's "ignoring you – and getting annoyed about not being taken seriously". [13] "It's the Little Things We Do" discusses dealing with a hangover, [15] drawing comparison to the work of the Bees. [16] The intro section to "Valeria" was borrowed from "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" (1985) by Tears for Fears. [17] "Someone Watching Over Me" has a gospel-country atmosphere that evoked the work of the Rolling Stones. [15] "Secrets" is akin to the sound of the Shangri-Las. [15]

"Why Won't You Give Me Your Love?" merges glam rock with pop-punk, [14] earning a comparison to "Tiger Feet" (1974) by Mud. [18] musicOMH contributor John Murphy wrote that it initially seemed to be a "conventional lover's plea. On closer inspection though, it's got black humour stamped right through it, with McCabe telling tales of locking his intended in a cellar and feeding her rodent hair". [16] "Oh Stacey (Look What You've Done!)" describes a daughter using her dead father's money for alcohol, [16] and was compared to "Too Much Too Young" (1980) by the Specials. [6] "You've Got a Friend in Me" is a duet between McCabe and Harding, detailing the perspective of a stalker following a victim, [16] echoing "You Keep It All In" (1989) by the Beautiful South. [18] The album's closing track, "I Know I'll Never Leave", is a homage to the band's hometown of Liverpool; [16] Nick Hasted of Uncut said the song was about a "private dystopia in which the singer’s trapped inside a ghetto flat with floors that slash his skin". [18] The song overall was Led Zeppelin-esque, [14] while one of its verse sections recalled "Ain't No Sunshine" (1971) by Bill Withers. [15]

Tired of Hanging Around was met with generally favourable reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 70, based on 19 reviews. [35]

Critics largerly praised the songwriting. Cashmore called it "one seriously pissed-off, paranoid, twitchy record". [10] The Observer 's Rosie Swash wrote that it was "reassuringly familiar" as the "preference for substance over style that ensures Tired... puts their modish peers to shame". [36] Emily Mackay of Playlouder referred to it as an "assured, almost cocky album, as if they've just located the sports button on what was formerly a reliable family estate of a band". [6] AllMusic reviewer Sharon Mawer wrote that it was "even more assured" than its predecessor, "not that they had changed much -- they really didn't need to, for there was no one making music quite like the Zutons". [17] Murphy, meanwhile, saw it as "delightfully quirky, original and catchy as its predecessor, whilst also representing something of a leap forward", adding that it was "commercial enough to also rope in some new admirers". [16] Keefe wrote the band's varied influences "all congeal together in perfect proportions on this great sophomore release". [14] Gigwise writer Chris Taylor said that despite it coming across as a group "struggling to shake off the pressures of following up the far-reaching success of their debut," the follow-up features "enough decent songs to offer hope for the future". [15]

Some commentators highlighted Street's production work. Murphy wrote that Street "helps to shape a big, positive feel to the album"; [16] Mackay said this extended to Chowdhury's guitarwork, as it tries to "channel the spirit" of Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, and to McCabe's vocals. [6] Alternative Press writer Erick Haight said Street's "crisp production keeps things smooth, yet big and ballsy, even if Abi Harding’s gritty sax takes a few steps back in the process". [7] Taylor noted that while the production was "turned up to 'big rock' levels," it only "succeeds in sounding a little hollow. The energy of the song when put in the context of a pumping Zutons live set is lost on record". [15] Gill was similarly let down by Street, "who does his usual solid, if unspectacular production job here", despite the poor writing, [37] which Stephen Ackroyd agree with as the "quirky edges have all been rounded off". [38]

Other reviewers were mixed on the songwriting. Ackroyd said that after the opening three songs, he was "yawning. Not just a little bit; Night Nurse never worked so well [...] somewhere the strangely endearing moments of the band’s debut have gone missing". [38] Noel Murray of The A.V. Club wrote that the Zutons went for the "big punch on album number two, and the result sounds like glam-rock without the glam—and pretty thin to boot, in spite of a preponderance of instrumentation". [39] King felt there was not enough quality songwriting to "make Tired of Hanging Around anything approaching a classic. But it’s evidence that there’s life left in this little band". [8] Hasted said that "little has changed" as the band continue to stay "four-square and a little flat. The boundary-trampling spirit that makes their music stretch out almost infinitely live remains barely tapped". [18] Yahoo! Launch's Jamie Gill wrote that it was "tired and tiring", that "small-minded whinging is the major characteristic of the album" from the first song onward, adding that it did not have "enough ideas or songs to make up for the overwhelmingly mean perspective" of the lyrics.

Urban Hymns is the third studio album by English rock band the Verve, released on 29 September 1997 on Hut Records. The group had broken up while promoting A Northern Soul in August 1995, though they reformed two weeks later without guitarist Nick McCabe. Frontman Richard Ashcroft moved to Bath, Somerset, where he made demos; Simon Tong joined the group soon afterwards. Following aborted recording sessions with producers John Leckie and Owen Morris, the band sought a new guitarist, contacting former Suede guitarist Bernard Butler, who played with them for a week before departing amidst creative differences. In 1996, The Verve started recording at Olympic Studios in London, first with producer Martin "Youth" Glover, followed by engineer Chris Potter. Ashcroft contacted McCabe in early 1997, inviting him back into the band, which McCabe accepted. Several songs were re-recorded to allow for the inclusion of McCabe's guitar parts, with sessions continuing into May 1997.

<i>A Northern Soul</i> 1995 album by The Verve

A Northern Soul is the second studio album by English rock band the Verve, released on 3 July 1995 through Hut Records. With the tumultuous promotion for their debut studio album, A Storm in Heaven (1993), combined with their friends in Oasis becoming popular, relationships between members of the Verve became strained. After connecting with Oasis producer Owen Morris, the Verve went to a rehearsal space in Wigan to write material for the next album, which they recorded at Loco Studios in Wales. The sessions gained notoriety for the stories that emerged from the time, including Ashcroft going missing for five days and him allegedly totalling a car on the studio's lawn. In the first three weeks, they had finished 15 tracks; after this point, the situation soured as guitarist Nick McCabe grew exhausted from dealing with the other members frequently partying and taking ecstasy, in addition to vocalist Richard Ashcroft and Morris screaming and destroying objects. Eventually, McCabe had a different working schedule from the others, starting at 10–11 a.m. while the rest of the band started at 6 p.m.
