Summary: The Kooks Shine on Konk
Comment: Brighton four-piece The Kook's sophmore album 'Konk' is a huge success, almost every song is catchy with a sing along tune. The band are back in full force, sans the original bassist with this very upbeat indie pop album. A lot of passion has been cramed into the Kook's second offering, highlights include Always Where I Need To Be, Mr. Maker, Sway & Shine.

Summary: The band comes out with a Kook-y release with Konk
Comment: I am a big fan of the first album, first off, so my review is slightly biased. The album isn't quite as good as the first, but there's something there that makes me like it ...A LOT!
The new album goes a little more electric, making the Kooks stray from the acoustic indie rock that really made them famous on Inside In/Inside Out. ...But don't let that get you down. They definitely make up for it with their great hooks and songwriting abilities. I love their upbeat songs. The stand out songs seem to be Always Where I Need To Be, Mr. Maker, Sway, and Down To The Market.
The bonus disc, entitled RAK, is a great addition, especially for only a couple of bucks more. It has some really good "B-Sides" and demos on it, but the songs didn't go with the actual album (So I guess it's a good thing they didn't include them on there). It showcases some really good stuff.
I hope this review helps. I can't wait to see what they can do with this album when I see them live this summer.
