But naming your band after one of Charlie Manson's henchwomen = DUD.

I was in a debate about buying this one or the Razorlight one.
The raz, I always enjoy seeing them play on TV, but on radio they sound more like Tom Petty.

personally, i rather like them. if "empire" isn't in my top 20 songs of the year, i'll be surprised.
― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 19 August 2006 22:30 (seventeen years ago) link
wow.
They're one of those bands with one great song (Cutt Off) and a load of mediocre-to-unlistenable ones. At least they try and do something vaguely original with their SOUND, which evokes the dark, resigned apocalypse of a pulsating nightclub. Shame about the songwriting, though.

That is evoked perfectly the sound of Kasabian, and it is their strongest selling-point. Like I said, all they needed was a decent songwriter and a bit of variation and they'd have written a decent first album.

I guess if this kind of thing hadn't been done already by PRML SCRM, The Coral, The Beta Band, Lo-Fi Allstars, and a plethora of others throughout the late 90s then I'd think they were good. It's just frustrating that out of all the NME bunch of bands that are out there, they happen to be the most inventive (apart from maybe the Rakes who are just ridiculous in a funny way).

the album, incidentally, is disappointing on a first listen. i've not heard it all the way through yet but it sounds depressingly like a case of all mouth and no trousers. i still love "empire" the song, but the rest of it sounds blustery and empty. still, i need more time with it before i can be sure.
(also, "glorious" by andreas johnson rules. but that's another discussion for another thread.)

I had a dream last night that my friend's mom was showing me a notebook she'd filled wihth doodles and jokes. One of the jokes was labled "SLAYER vs. Kasabian:" and next to that it was simply repeated as "SLAYER vs. Kasyaaaawn----" and after the "yawn" her handwriting trailed off into a squiggly line as though she had fallen asleep.
