Advantages: Some stand out tracks

Disadvantages: Some filler

Well I have to say I was not a fan of Kasabian when they first came on the scene. Then a few years ago I heard them live, and did a complete U-turn on the band. Bought both there albums and have not looked back. There self titled debut was the first one I bought. So am going to give it a review. Here is what I make of the songs:

1. Club Foot - Blazing start to the album. Loud, heavy beats, a really powerful sound. This sets the mood for the album and tells you what Kasabian are all about. 8/10

2. Processed Beats - Not a bad offering again. A little less heavy than previous track. More of an easy listen. 7/10

3. Reason Is Treason - Good intro kicks this one off. Lots of 'ah ah ah ah's'. A strong rythem as the lyrics really flow. Can never tell what he's saying to be honest but it sounds good. 8/10

4. I.D - An unusual song. Quite a spaced out feel to it. Powerful chorus. But this one does not quite make the grade. 6/10

5. L.S.F - Or 'Lost Souls Forever'. A work of pure class! I love this song. The lyrics just flow and rhyme brilliantly. 'Come on it, electronic, a polyphonic prostitute, the motors on fire, messiah for the animals'. They have got to be the worst lyrics ever. But they sound so good! This is a sing along classic! 10/10

6. Running Battle - A slowed down song that really does nothing for me. Boring! 6/10

7. Test Transmission - Strange sound to this one. It's not to bad, but never really seems to get going. 7/10

8. Cutt Off - Good song. I like the intro on this one, and the chorus just feels big. 8/10

9. Butcher Blues - Another song that really does not offer to much. Slow beat, chilled out feel. Don't understand why they put these songs on the album as they really don't do it any favors! 6/10

10. U Boat - Needs a strong finish. Doesn't really get one. Another wishy washy song that really never gets going. Shame 7/10

Quite a short album with only ten tracks. I was a little disapointed overall as I do love some of the songs, but there was way to much filler on this album for my liking. Not a bad listen, but nothing special. 7/10

Summary: A good listen, but nothing special
