I've recently purchased these albums from a £25 gift voucher from HMV from christmas and I can say they are both very good albums:

The Kooks - Inside In/Inside Out
Interpol - Antics

There are some very good songs by the Kooks, I had only heard one song by them on the radio; You Don't Love Me, and that was enough for me to buy that album tbh, great songs such as 'She moves in her own way'. I can't think who they remind me of though, anyways yeh Interpol are just good. Oh, and I also recently acquired the Test Icicles album which is spiffingly alternative.

What d'ya reckon about these then?


(oh and I have another £25 hmv voucher; what albums can I buy next?!)
 
I reckon Antics is an awesome album, absolutely love it. Haven't heard much of The Kooks but I was planning on buying the album sometime soon.

As for the other two albums you could always go for Interpol's first album 'Turn On The Bright Lights' though in my opinion its not as good as 'Antics'. And for the other album I'll just make a random recommendation and say 'Heroes To Zeros' by The Beta Band.

I really can't get into the Kooks album and that sort of music is right up my street usually :(

I find it too... happy? And la la la if you know what I mean :p Not enough energy for my liking :)

Oh and try We are Scientists album :)

One of my best recent albums.

We are Scientists - oh yeh i've heard good things about them, and I know what you mean about the Kooks in a sense, but that might be one reason why I like it. Currently around all the mainstream people at 6th form everyone is bumming out Panic! at the disco, and they were my cup of tea back in september or whenever but I've grown tiresome of their over energeticness!

Anyways yeh, I'll check out We Are Scientists, and some other alternative stuff.
 
The Kooks is great, instantly hooked with it.

I never really got TOTBL but Antics is wicked.

We Are Scientists aren't really judged properly yet, have only listened once.
 
The Kooks album does have great, immediate appeal yes. Need to give it a few more listens before I judge it properly though.

One thing I will say though is that too many of the tracks are very short.

Seconded.

If you like Interpol get Editors album, they sound exactly like them, (by this I mean they're good too).
 
And I'm back from Leeds now, I came away with the We Are Scientists album 'with Love and Squalor' I'm really liking it so far, not taking it in greatly though. :)

Used up my voucher also buying Elephant and Hide & Seek dvd's though so hm.
 
Interpol are ace!!!

If you really like that kind of stuff i'd say check out some of Joy divisions albums, they may take a bit of time to get into but well worth it and youll realise interpol did steal some of thier ideas.
