'''''¡Chutzpah!''''' is the eighth [[Album#Studio|studio album]] by British [[Rock music|rock]] band [[The Wildhearts]]. Recorded at producer [[Jacob Hansen]]'s studio in [[Ribe]], [[Denmark]], it was released on 31 August 2009 by Backstage Alliance. The album was the band's final studio release for ten years as well as the last to feature bassist [[Scott Sorry]], who left in 2012. ''¡Chutzpah!'' reached number 53 on the [[UK Albums Chart]] and was the band's first album since 1997's ''[[Endless, Nameless (album)|Endless, Nameless]]'' to top the [[Lists of UK Rock & Metal Singles and Albums Charts number ones|UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart]].
As with the band's 2007 [[The Wildhearts (album)|self-titled album]], ''¡Chutzpah!'' was written collaboratively by all four members of the Wildhearts. The sole [[Single (music)|single]] from the regular edition of the album, "The Only One", features lead vocals by Sorry. A few months after the album's release, the band issued the EP ''[[#¡Chutzpah! Jnr.|¡Chutzpah! Jnr.]]'', which features the four bonus tracks from the Japanese edition of ''¡Chutzpah!'', alongside the single "The Snake, the Lion, the Monkey and the Spider" and three previously unreleased songs.
==Writing and recording==
After releasing the [[Cover version|covers album]] ''[[Stop Us If You've Heard This One Before, Vol 1.]]'' in May 2008, the Wildhearts began writing and rehearsing material for an eighth studio album before the end of the year.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://blabbermouth.net/news/the-wildhearts-to-give-away-previously-unreleased-song |title=The Wildhearts To Give Away Previously Unreleased Song |work=[[Blabbermouth.net]] |date=21 December 2008 |accessdate=27 March 2024 }}</ref> In February 2009, the band recorded demo versions of several new songs at Seawolf Studios in [[Helsinki]], [[Finland]] with their manager and engineer Virpi Immonen.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://blabbermouth.net/news/the-wildhearts-new-album-title-revealed |title=The Wildhearts: New Album Title Revealed |work=[[Blabbermouth.net]] |date=24 February 2009 |accessdate=27 March 2024 }}</ref> The recordings from these sessions were later remastered by Dave Draper and released under the title ''The Virpi Demos'' as part of the 10th anniversary reissue of ''¡Chutzpah!''.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://round-records.com/product/the-wildhearts-chutzpah-10th-anniversary-the-virpi-demos-digital-download/ |title=The Wildhearts – ¡Chutzpah! 10th Anniversary – The Virpi Demos – Digital Download |publisher=Round Records |accessdate=27 March 2024 }}</ref> Recording for the album proper took place in April at Hansen Studios in [[Ribe]], [[Denmark]] with producer [[Jacob Hansen]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thewildhearts.com/2009/04/30/chutzpah-new-album-blog-april-09/ |title=Chutzpah! – New Album Blog – April '09 |last=Wildheart |first=Ginger |author-link=Ginger Wildheart |publisher=[[The Wildhearts]] |date=30 April 2009 |accessdate=27 March 2024 }}</ref>
Like on 2007's ''[[The Wildhearts (album)|The Wildhearts]]'', the tracks on ''¡Chutzpah!'' were co-written by all four members of the band: [[Ginger Wildheart]], [[C. J. Wildheart]], [[Scott Sorry]] and Ritch Battersby.<ref name="allmusic"/> In an interview with the website ''Room Thirteen'', Ginger revealed that this was a conscious choice: "It was a band decision to try to take the group to another level. We decided that making decisions should be a democratic process. For far too long I've been making the decisions myself."<ref name="r13">{{cite web |url=http://www.roomthirteen.com/features/696/Wildhearts_Interview.html |title=Wildhearts Interview |last=Latham |first=Andrew |work=Room Thirteen |date=7 September 2009 |accessdate=27 March 2024 }}</ref> As part of this new way of working, the band decided "to make something more commercial than usual"; Ginger claimed that he "wanted to make something far less commercial" but was "happy to have been shot down on that idea".<ref name="r13"/> It also led to the other band members performing vocals, as they had done for the first time on ''Stop Us If You've Heard This One Before, Vol 1.''<ref name="r13"/>
==Promotion and release==

Critical response to ''¡Chutzpah!'' was widely positive. ''[[Kerrang!]]'' gave the album a full rating of five out of five, with reviewer Steve Beebee writing: "''Chutzpah!'' is an album that holds together rather better than any of the Wildhearts' recent work – it sounds like the band have hit on a pristine, expansive sound, and from within that huge canyon the songs have been set free to take flight."<ref name="kerrang"/> Reviewing the album for ''[[Rock Sound]]'' magazine, Darren Sadler gave ''Chutzpah!'' an 8/10 rating, writing that "while it isn't the most instant of albums, it's frankly quirky nature makes it all the more excitable", concluding that the album is a "job well and truly done".<ref name="rocksound"/>
''[[Record Collector]]'' reviewer Ben Hopkins praised ''¡Chutzpah!'' for featuring "some of the band's best material in years", a description for which he highlighted songs such as "The Jackson Whites" and "You Are Proof That Not All Women Are Insane".<ref name="collector"/> However, he did suggest that "Not everything here is as fulfilling", describing "The Only One" as "too nice for a band who once sang, 'Baby can't you see I'm shitting brown water?'", and criticising the chorus on "John of Violence" as "so routing that even [[Feeder (band)|Feeder]] would've reconsidered".<ref name="collector"/> Eduardio Rivadavia of [[AllMusic]] hailed ''¡Chutzpah!'' as "an increasingly confident return to the band's metallic-sized power pop roots", highlighting "The Only One", "You Are Proof That Not All Women Are Insane", "You Took the Sunshine from New York" and "Mazel Tov Cocktail" (which he described as "a potential all-time classic") in particular.<ref name="allmusic"/> Brian Raftery of ''[[Spin (magazine)|Spin]]'' magazine praised the album for its "stylistic overhauls" from the band's previous works.<ref name="spin"/>
In 2009, ''Kerrang!'' included ''¡Chutzpah!'' at number 34 on its list of the 50 best albums of 2009, with writer Sam Law claiming that "you could always expect the unexpected from the irrepressible Geordie rockers [...] From slamming opener 'The Jackson Whites' to the cheekily effervescent pop-rock of 'You Are Proof That Not All Women Are Insane', of course, this was still giddily amusing stuff."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.kerrang.com/the-50-best-albums-of-2009 |title=The 50 best albums of 2009 |last=Law |first=Sam |work=[[Kerrang!]] |date=26 July 2019 |accessdate=27 March 2024 }}</ref>

+'''''¡Chutzpah!''''' is the eighth [[Album#Studio|studio album]] by British [[Rock music|rock]] band [[The Wildhearts]]. Recorded at producer [[Jacob Hansen]]'s studio in [[Ribe]], [[Denmark]], it was released on 31 August 2009 by Backstage Alliance. The album was the band's final studio release for ten years as well as the last to feature bassist [[Scott Sorry]], who left in 2012. ''¡Chutzpah!'' reached number 53 on the [[UK Albums Chart]] and was the band's first album since 1997's ''[[Endless, Nameless (album)|Endless, Nameless]]'' to top the [[Lists of UK Rock & Metal Singles and Albums Charts number ones|UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart]].
+As with the band's 2007 [[The Wildhearts (album)|self-titled album]], ''¡Chutzpah!'' was written collaboratively by all four members of the Wildhearts. The sole [[Single (music)|single]] from the regular edition of the album, "The Only One", features lead vocals by Sorry. A few months after the album's release, the band issued the EP ''[[#¡Chutzpah! Jnr.|¡Chutzpah! Jnr.]]'', which features the four bonus tracks from the Japanese edition of ''¡Chutzpah!'', alongside the single "The Snake, the Lion, the Monkey and the Spider" and three previously unreleased songs.

+==Writing and recording==
+After releasing the [[Cover version|covers album]] ''[[Stop Us If You've Heard This One Before, Vol 1.]]'' in May 2008, the Wildhearts began writing and rehearsing material for an eighth studio album before the end of the year.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://blabbermouth.net/news/the-wildhearts-to-give-away-previously-unreleased-song |title=The Wildhearts To Give Away Previously Unreleased Song |work=[[Blabbermouth.net]] |date=21 December 2008 |accessdate=27 March 2024 }}</ref> In February 2009, the band recorded demo versions of several new songs at Seawolf Studios in [[Helsinki]], [[Finland]] with their manager and engineer Virpi Immonen.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://blabbermouth.net/news/the-wildhearts-new-album-title-revealed |title=The Wildhearts: New Album Title Revealed |work=[[Blabbermouth.net]] |date=24 February 2009 |accessdate=27 March 2024 }}</ref> The recordings from these sessions were later remastered by Dave Draper and released under the title ''The Virpi Demos'' as part of the 10th anniversary reissue of ''¡Chutzpah!''.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://round-records.com/product/the-wildhearts-chutzpah-10th-anniversary-the-virpi-demos-digital-download/ |title=The Wildhearts – ¡Chutzpah! 10th Anniversary – The Virpi Demos – Digital Download |publisher=Round Records |accessdate=27 March 2024 }}</ref> Recording for the album proper took place in April at Hansen Studios in [[Ribe]], [[Denmark]] with producer [[Jacob Hansen]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thewildhearts.com/2009/04/30/chutzpah-new-album-blog-april-09/ |title=Chutzpah! – New Album Blog – April '09 |last=Wildheart |first=Ginger |author-link=Ginger Wildheart |publisher=[[The Wildhearts]] |date=30 April 2009 |accessdate=27 March 2024 }}</ref>

+Like on 2007's ''[[The Wildhearts (album)|The Wildhearts]]'', the tracks on ''¡Chutzpah!'' were co-written by all four members of the band: [[Ginger Wildheart]], [[C. J. Wildheart]], [[Scott Sorry]] and Ritch Battersby.<ref name="allmusic"/> In an interview with the website ''Room Thirteen'', Ginger revealed that this was a conscious choice: "It was a band decision to try to take the group to another level. We decided that making decisions should be a democratic process. For far too long I've been making the decisions myself."<ref name="r13">{{cite web |url=http://www.roomthirteen.com/features/696/Wildhearts_Interview.html |title=Wildhearts Interview |last=Latham |first=Andrew |work=Room Thirteen |date=7 September 2009 |accessdate=27 March 2024 }}</ref> As part of this new way of working, the band decided "to make something more commercial than usual"; Ginger claimed that he "wanted to make something far less commercial" but was "happy to have been shot down on that idea".<ref name="r13"/> It also led to the other band members performing vocals, as they had done for the first time on ''Stop Us If You've Heard This One Before, Vol 1.''<ref name="r13"/>

+Critical response to ''¡Chutzpah!'' was widely positive. ''[[Kerrang!]]'' gave the album a full rating of five out of five, with reviewer Steve Beebee writing: "''Chutzpah!'' is an album that holds together rather better than any of the Wildhearts' recent work – it sounds like the band have hit on a pristine, expansive sound, and from within that huge canyon the songs have been set free to take flight."<ref name="kerrang"/> Reviewing the album for ''[[Rock Sound]]'' magazine, Darren Sadler gave ''Chutzpah!'' an 8/10 rating, writing that "while it isn't the most instant of albums, it's frankly quirky nature makes it all the more excitable", concluding that the album is a "job well and truly done".<ref name="rocksound"/>
-'''''¡Chutzpah!''''' is the eighth studio album by [[The Wildhearts]].

It is also rare among the band's releases in that it contains a song, "The Only One", which was neither written nor sung by frontman [[Ginger (musician)|Ginger]], but instead by bassist [[Scott Sorry]].
+''[[Record Collector]]'' reviewer Ben Hopkins praised ''¡Chutzpah!'' for featuring "some of the band's best material in years", a description for which he highlighted songs such as "The Jackson Whites" and "You Are Proof That Not All Women Are Insane".<ref name="collector"/> However, he did suggest that "Not everything here is as fulfilling", describing "The Only One" as "too nice for a band who once sang, 'Baby can't you see I'm shitting brown water?'", and criticising the chorus on "John of Violence" as "so routing that even [[Feeder (band)|Feeder]] would've reconsidered".<ref name="collector"/> Eduardio Rivadavia of [[AllMusic]] hailed ''¡Chutzpah!'' as "an increasingly confident return to the band's metallic-sized power pop roots", highlighting "The Only One", "You Are Proof That Not All Women Are Insane", "You Took the Sunshine from New York" and "Mazel Tov Cocktail" (which he described as "a potential all-time classic") in particular.<ref name="allmusic"/> Brian Raftery of ''[[Spin (magazine)|Spin]]'' magazine praised the album for its "stylistic overhauls" from the band's previous works.<ref name="spin"/>
+
+In 2009, ''Kerrang!'' included ''¡Chutzpah!'' at number 34 on its list of the 50 best albums of 2009, with writer Sam Law claiming that "you could always expect the unexpected from the irrepressible Geordie rockers [...] From slamming opener 'The Jackson Whites' to the cheekily effervescent pop-rock of 'You Are Proof That Not All Women Are Insane', of course, this was still giddily amusing stuff."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.kerrang.com/the-50-best-albums-of-2009 |title=The 50 best albums of 2009 |last=Law |first=Sam |work=[[Kerrang!]] |date=26 July 2019 |accessdate=27 March 2024 }}</ref>
