    Junk of the Heart is everything the Kooks have been and continue to assert that they are, which makes for a rewarding listen.

    Luke Pritchard and co attack each of their songs with crisp, clean confidence, brisk guitar lines and open vowels. [Oct 2011, p.97]

    dont understand the bad reviews... A solid Album by a talented band. Just as good, if not better that Konk. So ignore the critics and give this album a listen… Expand
