    It's not bad and has a few very good moments but it's pretty standard brit pop with a little bit of extra style to it. The longer this band have gone on and produced music, the less time I seem to have for this record.

    Run of the mill act for mine. Sounds pretty much like every second or third new band coming out of this new rock implosion. Nothing original and nothing really grabbing here.

    The teen public will love it. The lyrics are weak. Good voice. Polished pop. Waiting for the next release.

  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.
