CD Reviews

Kasabian's self titled debut
Wickerlove | Canada | 10/03/2004
(3 out of 5 stars)

"Here's a band to namedrop, anyone remember The Shining? Well just think The Shining combined with a little Cooper Temple Clause, combined with a little Muse, and you'll have Kasabian's CD. I was looking at another Kasabian review courtesy of Amazon. It described the recent wave of bands/sounds coming from the UK, which I couldn't have summed up more perfectly. It's worth repeating here. 'Kasabian are part of a movement of emerging Bands in 2004 from the UK that have been raised on a melange New Wave, experimental electronica, dub beats and Rock 'n Roll who take the precepts of the DIY philosophy and fuse all these into an exciting brand of rock. They have pulled back from the grunge and shoegazer extremes to a more grounded, focused music that can appeal to prog rockers of the past and kids who consider themselves on the cutting edge. While musically they have more in common with latter day Radiohead, their soul is with Sex Pistols and The Clash." Now using this as a pretext to my description, once again, Kasabian = The Shining + Cooper Temple Clause + Muse.

Probably the best 1st album of the year (the 22-20s follow)
Movin Sidewalks | Geneva , Switzerland | 10/01/2004

"What can i say? this is perfect from song 1 to 10, it last just the good time (this is not a guns n'roses megalomaniac trip "a la Use your Illusion) this album is 46 min. long.

I discribe it like the only album in my collection (500cd)who sound so futuristic...it's just the sound of fightin' years in a cold future...

It make me think of David Bowie 77'"Low" LP or Kraftwerk in their electronic approach but with more punch (check the xtrmntr LP of the Primal Scream).

But this band still very different of other bands...they really had their own world.

They're futuristic 'cause they mix with so much natural Rock and Electro with a singer who is a sort of Liam Gallagher with a Proclamation to tell...so there's even rap rock and punk in this voice...

Rappers may even love them, Rockers will adore them ...everyone with just enough rebel blood will be a fan...



this is the band of the future right now in our present(if this is not a gift!)...

Music to riot to
Andrew Urquhart | West Japan | 10/29/2004

"fusing the narcotic frenzy of the MC5 with the righteous anger of the mighty Primal Scream, this is an assured, mesmerising debut.



While the eclectic mix of singles grabs the attention (Club Foot, Reason is Treason, LSF), there is not an ounce of flab on this killer album. If you are into good music of any kind - be it Primal Scream, Massive Attack, the Doors, Janes Addiction or whoever, this will put lead in your pencil.



ps. RIP John Peel."
