    yes a 2. The music "oh my baby be gone lon' time" is crappy. The Hooks don't hook. Nothing memorable, 60 minutes of pure noise. If you like these kind of songs at least check out Maximo Park. They're at least smart about their love songs.

  1. Greater things may well be in the pipeline for The Kooks, but this is sadly lacking in anything to fall - or indeed remain - in love with.
  2. They are a less irreverent and more melodic Art Brut, swapping that band’s caustic wit for a far nicer type of honesty.
  3. A blindingly bright future beckons.
