Advantages: catchy, very good songs, amazing band. Disadvantages: songs sound a tad same.
I must say the kooks are a very good band, and a bunch of good looking boys ;)
But seriously now, this album is a must own! if you like rock/acoustic/drums its perfect, very catchy songs as well.
My favourite songs are "she moves in her own way" very sweet, light mood song, which always reminds me of summer, also the lyrics are very well thought out.
Another favourite is "naive" songs with good guitar skills shown in the intro and once again very ...

Advantages: Original, different, innovative and catchy. Disadvantages: Overplayed, Repition and bad hairstyles of band.
First heard the track Naive on the radio, this track alone hooked me into buying The Kooks. This decision was well made, as it is one of my most played albums. I have not yet been dissapointed by any of the tracks. One downside is you probably don't need to actually buy the album, you could just simply switch radio stations every few minutes as it is a regular with radio DJs. Another downside is some of the repitive nature that appear on more than ...

Even though everyone seems to be raving about this album, i was not particlulary impressed, and i shall tell you why. Although the songs sound like they would be good to listen to on a summery evening, that i believe is all they're good for. I found them rather wishy-washy with more style than substance and more prettyness that purpose. The boys are obviously good looking, and i think this is what most people have been brought into. After listening ...

Advantages: Great unique music Disadvantages: Hard to put down
Despite the funky depressive tone of their first release 'naive', The Kooks present a very summery, catchy aura about them. From the melodic intro of 'Seaside' right through to the not-so-impressive 'Got no love'. I find this album a very catchy release with good, summery pop tracks. Although it is the kind of album that you will listen to constantly and fall in love immediately, only to hardly ever listen to it again. There is always too much of ... ...far the best of their songs on this album; their latest release, closely followed by the 'Sofa song'. Overall, if you're looking for a decent indie album. Then this is the album for you. It may not be the best, but its far better than alot of current music out there! ...

Advantages: Cheap and entertaining. Disadvantages: Lacking in some areas. Some weak songs.
I had heard a couple of the singles of the band on MySpace and thought that they were fantastic. I could not get enough of listening to the 2 or 3 songs that were available and well know. Once the album was released, I went to the local record house to pick up the copy that I had previously ordered and I must confess myself slightly disappointed when I finished listening to the album. Don't get me wrong, the album is good, but I was expecting so ...

Advantages: Very catchy songs Disadvantages: Songs could be longer.
This is a very good album with many songs that could be released as singles. It has 14 very catchy tunes that can become very addictive and youll find that theyll never get out of your head!
It opens with a very mellow tune 'Seaside' which introduces the album well and livens up by the time of 'You Dont Love Me'. The highlights of the album comes in 'Naive' and 'She Moves In Her Own Way', which had great success in the UK charts.
The lyrics on ...

Advantages: Good songs, excellent mis of styles withing the album Disadvantages: you've got to sample there songs first
Some of the best tunes i have heard since ... the best tunes.
The greatness of the music on this album is immense, To begin with, Seaside, a very good song, begins the album with an acoustic pow to your heart, you can almost feel your soul humming the tune, before you've heard the rest of the lyrics.
Straight from that acoustic punch, your thrown straight into the harmonious indie that is the kooks, the music will make you tap your feet, and move ... ...be First off, Ooh La, which is i must say, the most catchiest song i have ever personally heard. Second is Naive, which i also love, and i can't help but sing it in the shower.
Definately the best buy this christmas, or for any occasion, it's a really good album. Good music has never been this good. I saw them live aswell, and My God they are good.
I would recommend this album for anyone who has a general taste in indie/rock, the albums provides ...

Advantages: all songs are wiiicked! Disadvantages: none
Ok, first I heard the song 'naive' on the radio and didnt know who it was but knew for sure that i liked the song. I then got the kooks album form a class mate and listened to the naive non stop for ages, eventually getting sick of it!, This forced me to listen to the rest of the album and realized that the other songs are awesome aswell! its one of those albums where you only want one song, but when you leave it running on, and you actually hear ... ...you, and your favourate song, turns out to be the one you listen to the least! anyway, great songs to keep you going all day, buy it!!
top tunes:
'you dont love me'
'sofa song'
'she moves in her own way'
'seaside'
'naive'
'jackie big tits'
Thats 6 out of 13 tracks which are ace, the rest are good, but these are sweeeet. one downfall could be that a few tracks are slightly too short, but no ones perfect! ...

What a brilliant debut album! After only hearing a couple of singles before buying this album I was not too sure how much I would like it, but took a chance and bought it. It definitely proved itself to me! It gets better with everytime that you listen to it and never gets boring. Good to listen to if you're just chilling out, going for a drive, getting ready to go out or just rocking out in your bedroom! lol. The Kooks have done well for their first ...

I LOVE this young band! Fun, happy, feel-good music... makes you want to dance and sing no matter how old you are!
Rarely have I felt this enthusiastic about a band, especially one where the musicians are younger than my own son!!! Makes me feel old in some way, but the music in itself is an altogether different story... makes you feel as though the past 20 years never happened!
Great sound, loads of enthusiasm and energy, and wreaks of "I LOVE ...
