'Cassius' is the most danceable and upbeat track on the album and will definitely appeal to fans of 'Hummer' and 'Mathletics' but from here on, it's more mellow and drone-filled. And this is what makes this album amazing. It may not appeal to the people expecting more of the alternative dance stuff witnessed in 'Hummer' but it's incredible still. They have created a euphoric atmosphere full of r...more

Antidotes - Foals: A Great Debut (254 words)
by - written on 02/11/08 (Very useful, 15 readings)
Rating:

This is a cracking debut from the marvellous Foals. The foals are probably best classified a kind of electro indie band. I know your probably thinking of Klaxons but the foals are really nothing like them, they are pretty unique on the music scene at the moment. "The french open" gets the whole album kicked off in blinding fashion. Starting with a slow brass line that slowly fades into a bruising guitar riff. This song, like a lot of the song on this record is pretty complex, with lots of different things happening. It certainly does get you moving though, with a great meeting of brass and guitar and a singalong chorus. The high energy is maintained ...  Read the complete review

'Cassius it's over! Cassius away!' (548 words)

The debut album from the band 'foals' was released on 24th march 2008 in the UK (8 April) in the USA. Following much hype around the band, particularily on myspace, they started to build a very strong fan base. The band combine indie rock with a edge of dance and punk to give their extremely unique sound in the genre of 'math rock' signed to transgressive records. Math rock is a genre of music which has a very complex rhythm based guitar style, which fits into experimental rock music. This genre originated in the '80s. It atypical rhythmic structures, which mean that the music sounds as if it starts and stops irregularily. It also uses ...  Read the complete review

Brilliant record from an absolutely brilliant band, Antidotes is bursting with the Foals' quirky style from the wonderfully surreal cover sleeve to the wide array of unique tracks on offer from the band's debut album. Self proclaimed "math rockers" and with elements of their music inspired by bands such as The Talking Heads, Foals have made their own niche within indie music with their distinct staccato guitar lines and complex, catchy rhythms. Within the album each song succeeds in being diverse while mantaining the band's definitive style, from the lively cocophany of instruments in the fast-paced catchiness of "Cassius," "French Open," ...  Read the complete review

Foals, they should have a mercury. (163 words)

This is about as impressive as a debut album gets. and whilst i'm on the foals love, if you ever get a chance to see them live, go for it, i saw them at Reading, and they were one of the more entertaining bands. A terrific opening track with 'the french open', that has a wonderful upbeat tempo that gets a foot or two tapping, which leads well into the well known 'cassius'. the fun doesn't stop there, and keeps going with interesting and intelligent musical ideas, that last until 'tron', which is the perfect end to an album that i was surprised didn't get nominated for the mercury- i can't see what any of the others had that foals ...  Read the complete review

Possibly one of the greatest albums to come out of Britain in the last few years. The danceable beats and Math Rock drones in this album are exucted perfectly by the Oxford five piece band. 'French Open' is a perfect opener to the album getting increasingly upbeat as Yannis Philipakkis barks the French lyrics, which works wierdly well. The opening track changes swiftly to 'Cassius', the first single of their debut album. 'Cassius' is the most danceable and upbeat track on the album and will definitely appeal to fans of 'Hummer' and 'Mathletics' but from here on, it's more mellow and drone-filled. And this is what makes this album amazing. It may not appeal to the people .  Read the complete review
