Amazon.co.uk Review
On their debut album Inside In/Inside Out, Brighton band The Kooks demonstrate a real potential for greatness. That's because this young band have two crucial things going for them: a wealth of ideas and an awareness of their place in their musical lineage. Which is why it's probably so appropriate that Inside In/Inside Out was recorded at The Kinks' Ray Davies' own studio--Kooks frontman Luke Pritchard, like Davies, seems to have a knack for churning out catchy guitar-pop nuggets. So, after the brief and mellow intro of "Seaside", the album really kicks in to grab the listener by the ears, with each song better than the previous. Sofa Song" is a strumming, singalong bounce, but "Eddie's Gun" is a rough-around-the-edges jangly rocker, and "Ooh La" is a mellow and melodic stroll, all building up to the downright funky tracks like "Matchbox" and "Naive". nd so it continues, through 14 songs, propelled by Pritchard's hiccupping vocal delivery and Hugh Harris's rather excellent guitar playing. The Kooks had a lot of hype prior to the release of Inside In/Inside Out; rather impressively, they've more than managed to live up to it. --Ted Kord

Terrible
the most over-rated, unorginal and blandest band ever, the whole modern music scene is an embarassment. this doesnt help..

Fantastic!
I sooo loved this - one of the best albums I've heard in a long time. Such a good sound! A big 'must-have' for any Kooks fan! Fantastic!!

good album
some good songs on the kooks first outing here. 'naieve' 'she moves in her own way' and ooh la' are excellent. Keep a look out for these boys from Brighton, they're going places love it!
