Released in 2007, The World Is Outside was the debut album from the London pop band Ghosts. The album presented two contrasting moods, with several uplifting major-key songs providing a refreshing change from the doom and gloom that many of the band's contemporaries regularly played; Ghosts' good-time, happy pop side — including the exuberant &Stop& and &Over-Analysis& — was almost reminiscent of the Lightning Seeds. Some of the tracks, like the opening &Stay the Night& with its intro suggesting a cross between rockabilly and ska, almost harked back to the Brit-pop days of the mid-'90s. But several other songs echoed the angst of Coldplay and Keane, especially the swirling &Mind Games& as well as &Something Hilarious& and &Wrapped Up in Little Stars,& which were probably the least upbeat tracks on the album. The album ended on a depressing note with the nearly seven-minute &Temporary.& Close your eyes and you could easily have been listening to Coldplay.
