CD Description
A darker and less poppy album than their debut, 'About WhatYou Know', 'Nothing Worth Having Comes Easy' is still full of the sing-a-long choruses that typified their earlier singles. This album is Little Man Tate's return to centre-stage after being axed by their label V2 in 2007, and despite the first single 'What Your Boyfriend Said' not performing as well as releases from their first album, 'Nothing Worth Having' has been well received critically.

Customer Reviews

little man tate deliver a brilliant album
well how good is the new album by Sheffield Indie band Little Man Tate? well the answer is brilliant - 13 tracks of catchy, big sing a long anthems and ace tunes. Stand out Track "She Looked Like Audrey Hepburn" is easily the band's best song to date and it looks like these boys will be around for a long while yet. A winner!!!

Shot at a second album
Well, It's hardly perfect, but it's a very good follow up album.

From the offset, Money Wheel lures you into thinking this is going to be an album oh so similar to the first one, About What You Know. Followed by What your Boyfriend Said, the tempo keeps upbeat, with typical LMT DNA running right through it.

It's not until track 3 that things slow down, and this goes from being a good album, to a very good album. "She Looks Like Audrey Hepburn" is a much slower song by the band, but is done magnificently. The typical LMT continues afterwards with Shot at Politics & Hey Little Sweetie.

Things slow down again with Joined by an iPod, which has gained many fans already after they made it a free download on MySpace.

Unfortunately, what prevents this from being a 5 star album is just 3 songs, and 2 of them are numbers 7 & 8. Face on a Wall & A Little Heart. Good songs, but not quite up to the standards of the rest of the album.

Time for Anything picks the pace back up however, and the last 2 songs are quickly forgotten, before 2 of the finest tracks on the album. Back of the Pub Quiz, and London Skies, very different, but equally as effective.

The final criticism is the last track, Shoulder to Sigh on, it's like nothing LMT have done before and unfortunately is something they should perhaps not do again. A totally different sound, and it's a shame it's the last song you have to hear on the CD, when you will be begging for a real anthem of an album closer.

worth the wait
I loved the first album and was both eager to hear the new offering an concerned it might be a disapointment. Happy to say I love it and so do those friends who have heard it. It still has the catchy music the great hooks and the humour the characterised "its about what you know" but they have added to this more layered harmonies and the writing is alot more mature. Certainly "Audrey Hepburn" is a stand out track,and "joined by an ipod" is funny, sad and increadibly well observed. Its more shaded and more adult for example in "what your boyfriend said" but still full of the exuberence that makes them a terrific live band.

Finally I don't think there is a dud track- I enjoyed the atypical sound of "Shoulder to Sigh on" the production gives it a hollow sound which fits the song and the tempo is a tone are different from LMT's usual style, I have no problem with variety. They are a band who keep growing and in my opinion they get better and better.
