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

    Here, Pritchard and company aim for an even more mainstream success than Konk, and they will likely succeed in selling a boatload of albums. But they've lost something in the process.

    It feels like a splash of teenage aftershave: a pass at sophistication, not the real deal. [Oct 2011, p.123]

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

  1. 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
