Kasabian - West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum

[Freestyler]

5 good songs on it. Vlad, Fire, Underdog, Where did all the love go and Fast Fuse.

The rest bored the hell out of me and I've been a massive fan of Kasabian for 5 years

Thick As Thieves?

Great tune.

Seen them live at heaton park and i thought fast fuse was great but listenin at home fire is the best song

 

[Nicky D]

So is it worth buying d'you reckon? Still not sure whether to or not.

Brilliant album. Secret Alphabets is my favourite. Cunny Grope Lane is another fantastic song.

Been into Kasabian for years, have the first ep.

If your into albums like Beggars Banquet then this is an album for you. As good as the first album but in its own way. They have developed well without going down the U2 route, i.e the killers and kings of leon. Top Band.

The reason they will never write another like their debut is down to them sacking Chris Karloff before completing the second album.

These days even to get 5 good songs on a album is good value. When was the last time Oasis had 5 good songs on a album there 2nd album I would say.

Saw them in Leicester, May 2004. The Half Time Orange was a LCFC pub, and they played straight after their teams match.. only 200 ish people in there and standing at the front you didnt even get a nudge.... looked half empty but it was a buzzing gig. They had a drummer with a Mohican. He was awesome. They've lost two members since then. IMO they have never recovered and are now a bit one-trick. Fire's okay. But nothing more. Didnt buy Empire, and probably wont buy this one.

Their debut,I would say.
Kasabian leave me cold personally,but each to their own.

The gigs in 2004 were the best. 2004 Reading festival, headlining the carling stage. Same drummer. Every **** in the world was watching the Darkness except for about 100 people in a tiny tent going fucking mental. Honestly I dont think anyone knew each other in there, all my mates were watching the darkness, but in there everyone had arms round each other bouncing off the scaffolding etc... Possibly the greatest gig of my life.

I highly recommend the new album though. What has disappointed me is that they used to play a song called 55. It was a phenomenal tune thats only available on live eps. Should of been on Empire.

Self Titled was a great album, Empire was a big bag of indulgent over-produced wank, this one at first listen has a few decent tunes but alot of filler! Still a good live band though, seeing them next monday night!
