Doubtless indie-rock also-rans the Kooks will present their fourth album as the new Screamadelica. It's not. Sure, they've added funk, jazz and gospel to the mix, and enlisted hip-hop producer Inflo, but their meat-and-potatoes pop remains, making for an uncomfortable alliance. The album's sole affecting track is the simplest – See Me Now, in which frontman Luke Pritchard addresses the father who died when he was young. Elsewhere, though, Listen exudes desperation, its shortcomings underlined by It Was London, a graceless stab at social commentary.
