The Leicester band here offer a brilliant album, sounding like it is set in a 1970's movie.

Who else better to take Oasis' crown of the premier British lads rock scene. Opening with ...  Read the complete review

This 3rd album from the Leicester based band is certainly their best yet and arguably one of the best albums of the year. Lying somewhere between the techno, sound-effect driven 1st album and more mainstream, heavy rock of the 2nd, West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum is an album of great dance-floor disco tracks with some great guitar ...  Read the complete review

Kasabian's Serge Pizzorno describes their latest hit album 'West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum' as the soundtrack to an imaginary film. It was produced by Dan The Automator (best known for his work with The Gorillaz) and was more than two years in the making. I saw the video for their first single 'Fire', which featured the band holding ...  Read the complete review

WEST RYDER PAUPER LUNATIC ASYLUM is the bizarelly titled album from the Leicester, indie rock band. The album contains twelve songs that are on the whole rather good. My favourite track on the album is FIRE. Thesong starts off slow with simple strumming off the guitar, but really comes into life on the chorus. The guitar work on ...  Read the complete review

The album is fantastic, is starts with the greatly titled Underdog, which seems to deliver an instant message about Kasabians rise to fame. The track perfectly sums up what the band are about, with fanatastic guitar playing, punchy vocals and lyrics and a little hint of electronic midway through. The album is a greatly different style to ...  Read the complete review

WOW! If you thought the first album was good this new offering from Kasabian will blow your mind. I was a distant fan as i really liked their first album self titled Kasabian as it was similar to The Stone Roses (which i was a massive fan of). A few good songs on the second album Empire was not enough to shout about, but West ryder pauper ...  Read the complete review

Kasabian are becoming a liability, in a good sense of course! They seem to be able to do no wrong, and this album is proof. Its the usual audio smack in the head that makes you stand up and start jumping about. the first track 'underdog' is a great opener, followed by the melodic 'where did all the love go', 'fast fuse' makes you want sprint up and down the street, stopping briefly to dance like Austin Powers! Vald the Impaler and Fire are obvious anthems. then the beautiful 'Secret alphabets'. you must must must own this album, if you have never bought a kasbian album before, this will make you buy the rest, it is a mix of Oasis, Prodigy, The Kinks and Steppenwolf, but medievil! you have to hear it to believe it!

The only way to describe this album is awesome, it ranges from quiet acouticy tracks to thundering tunes. The first two are great but i think that this is the best they have released so far, tracks like underdog and the first single fire are some of the more obvious listens, but overall the whole album is strong. Their live show too supports the ...  Read the complete review

they've done it again. kasabian appear to just keep going from strength to strength. this their 3rd studio album pretty much picks up where the mighty "empire" left which more catchy hooks, electronic beats and serge's lyrical prowess which borders on the insane. stand out tracks include the bluesy up tempo 'fast fuse', first single ...  Read the complete review

It's been 5 years since Kasabian first graced the airwaves with the release of their self titled debut album. That was followed up with increasing success in 2006 by their second album Empire. Now 3 years since their last album the Leicestershire band are back with their 3rd and perhaps most eagerly anticipated albums yet. Over the years they seem ...  Read the complete review

For me, this was the make or break album for Kasabian. I'm a big fan of their first two albums, i thought they had a unique sound and were very catchy. They were upbeat with a nice tempo and some cracking songs across the two albums. I had high hopes for this album, i thought there was some steady progression from Kasabian album to Empire and i ...  Read the complete review
