great album at a time of awful music

Basically, i dont like much modern music. Most i find is commercialised bland rubbish, with loads of studio tweaking and poor musicianship. This album, in my opninion, is one of the best of recent times. Lets go through the standout tracks in my opinion:

1: Seaside. Quite frankly i cant imagine a much better opener. this is emotive and enjoyable, and quite sad if youve already got the blues im sure!
3: Sofa song: This is great to dance to at parties and the lyrics and first guitar solo are very happy (theres no other way to describe it).
5: Ooh la: Just catchy
6: You dont love me: Slightly too indie but the first part of the song especially is catchy nd fun.
7: She moves in her own way: Most peoples tout for the gest song on the album i think, and i would agree, wonderful lyrics, catchy, summery and a good guitar solo too.
8: Matchbox: Quite odd in my opinion but one of my favourite tracks on the album
9: Naive: Overplayed on the radio but still a wonderful song that will ahve you singing along throughout
13: Time Awaits: The only of the latter songs that i really like, this is amazing and the in/out phasing guitar at the end puts me in mind that things are going to be big for this band in the future

Overall, this album is not my usual taste in music. im not really an indie fan (i dont liek babyshambles, libertines, aric monkeys etc) and yet this is my kind of album - it shows that there are great things to come and that the singer has a great maturity especially. Im a massive skynyrd, zeppelin and lizzy fan, and yet this will certainly be played by me alot!!!Read full review...

Kooks - Inside In/Inside Out (CD 2006)

Is a really good collection of songs that compliment one another well. Not one song i would skip through if i were to play the CD through. I decided to buy it because a few of the songs are really hard to download and some i couldn't download album songs they were more like live samples - not very good to listen to on your ipod on the bus!! This CD can be bought for a really decent price on eBay compared to in the shops. A really good bargain, really pleased with the CD and i would recommend it to any indie music fan!Read full review...

Right way up/Upside Down

This album is bursting with energy. What you get with this is music that sounds great, even on repeat, and a band that is also highly likeable. Its a long journey cd for the car and its always on in mine. This album features some great songs ("Sofa Song" is great) and I would recommend it to everyone. It seems suitable for any mood or occasion. With that praise that this deserves I believe that it gets a 4 star rating and is a deffo buy.

brilliant album, start to finish.

this is another great album that came out of 2006, it includes all the great singles they put out and also contains alot of other great songs.
it is one of my most enjoyable albums i own, it has ranges of sounds and can have up beat songs and quite slow songs, all songs have catchy melodies and catchy chorus's that make them stick in your head and make you want to listen again and again, which is in my opinion good.
all or most songs contain acoustic driven sound some songs are full electric.
there isnt a bad song on the album in my opinion.Read full review...

A great CD, no complaints whatsoever

I bought this CD after having listened to and become familiar with many of the songs on the album and liking them enough to want to buy the album. I have no regrets whatsoever about my purchase of this CD - I love the music and the album is one of my favourites, and would have happily paid full price for it (I paid a reduced price over eBay for a second-hand CD).Read full review...
