Although The Kooks exploded onto the British indie scene with two huge single - encouraging every guy to grow out their hair - their debut album is a less than accomplished body of work. It's filled with tracks like Sofa Song, which follow that irritating indie fad of singing in a staccato fashion. Ooh La, might be the least offensive number on the album - but even that sounded like a Razorlight rip-off.
