The two singles were rather good so far.

Much filler, a horribly mainstream sound on too many tracks and lackluster melodies. Shame, their debut was the exact opposite of all that...

The Kooks are cool.

I'm usually not one to bother with whole albums - exceptions being most of Oasis, most of Arctic Monkeys, Yuck, Sex Pistols ect - but Inside In/Out is sounding quite good, even Jackie Big Tits had its charm.

So, is it a worthy investment to grab the whole first - then the singles from the 2nd and 3rd? (Meaning the best songs. Kinda hoping for a list, pretty much only have Sway and Always where I need to be)

Inside In Inside Out:

All of it.

Konk:

See The Sun
Alway Where I Need To Be
Do You Wanna
Shine On

Junk Of The Heart:

Junk Of The Heart (Happy)
How'd You Like That
Rosie
Is It Me
Eskimo Kiss

That's about all you need, and it makes a fine greatest hits.

It definitely has more depth than the average Kooks song.

Love Seaside in particular but not listened to any albums properly yet, will give this new one a listen though

Thanks both of you, got that whole list.

The stuff from Junk of the Heart is sounding a little technological atm, but Rosie sounds fucking sweet when it reaches its peak. I just wish I knew a cool girl called Rosie (or Rose).

See the Sun and Do You Wanna are powerful as well.

I personally think that this is what Oasis should have tried more of round the HC era. Like, 10 different The Girl In the Dirty Shirt, with a more laid back producstion. Such a cool and arrogant song, yet so close and personal. She Moves in her own way would be an amazing song to add to ones discography.

(Enjoy the K+ I gave you shakeyourraggdoll baby, before I change my mind)

Although after that it's a bit downhill after that.

Shoutbox

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

ennex: G'day folks, Sept 21, 2024 4:51:22 GMT -5

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

gottabecrazy: RKID003 was a great resource, they shared a lot there there really. I wish something similar could be up again. Sept 25, 2024 17:50:23 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5
