\"\"<\/a>What a time to be a Wildhearts fan. The new album ‘Renaissance Men’ recently out then we are treated to a remastered White Album and ‘Live In The Studio’ and to top it all off ‘Chutzpah! Complete with extras’.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to believe that Chutzpah! Was released 10 years ago, wow where has the time gone? <\/span><\/p>\n

Well, what you get here is this newly remastered version including the Chutzpah Jnr! A release which originally was just sold at Wildhearts concerts so the tracklisting on this new version is 18 songs with both albums combined.<\/span><\/p>\n

The album kicks off with the short blast of punk rock energy that is <\/span>\u00a1Chutzpah! Jnr which draws the listener straight in.<\/span><\/p>\n

Right on its heels is the frantic \u201cThe Jackson Whites\u201d with its sledgehammer of a riff that makes you want to jump up and down and as per usual we have that awesome ear candy of a chorus that only Ginger can wright.<\/span><\/p>\n

Up next is this reviewers personal fav track off the album titled ‘You Are Proof That Not All Women Are Insane’ with it\u2019s \u201cwhoa whoa\u201d chanted backing vocal chorus and the great lyric \u201cok, so her music and movies are bland these days it\u2019s enough to get a 9 out of 10\u201d which is something we can all relate too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another highlight is the Scott Sorry sung ‘The Only One’ which slightly slows the pace down but still has the crunching guitars.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘You Took The Sunshine From New York’ is a song with a gorgeous melody and great storytelling lyrics.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘Some Days Just Fucking Suck’ which was originally on Chutzpah Jnr! Is a great song with a deep lyrical meaning which brings to the listener\u2019s attention the everyday hardship of people who suffer from mental illness but also has the positive meaning in the chorus that is \u201cdon\u2019t try suicide everything will be alright\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

‘People Who Died’ is a song originally done by the Jim Carroll band and here The Wildhearts take the song and bring fresh energy to it with their version and yet again we are treated to the raspy lead vocals of Mr, Scott Sorry.<\/span><\/p>\n

The album finishes with the title track ‘Chutzpah’ which is another slab of relentless riffing with its shouty fast-paced bridge and then slows down for a great chorus and is a perfect end to this great album.<\/span><\/p>\n

If having Chutzpah! And Chutzpah Jnr! On the same disc isn\u2019t enough, this version also comes with the added disc of demos which is always interesting to hear and also another disc of unseen footage captured from the Scott Sorry years which adds up to tremendous value for money.<\/span><\/p>\n
