Probably the most consistent album from Kasabian. Although it doesn't deliver the amount of radio hits as previous releases, this is probably their best album to date. Great stadium rock band.
Re-wired is a brilliant song

First Spin Take: Fun sing-along type of album with interesting influences from the Happy Mondays, Primal Scream, Urban Hymns-era Verve but geared toward the arena rock crowd, kind of halfway between Invisible Band era Travis and Arctic Mondays.

I remember seeing them support The Who in '04, before their first album dropped. They were shite, completely up their own arses, and full of ideas above their station. Then that debut album came out and they were everywhere, I had friends who loved them, but to me it was just focus group-tested post-Oasis wank made to soundtrack Sky Sports montages. That West Pauper bollocks seemed like a half-arsed attempt at early Verve, and a calculated play for wider critical acclaim, mining well-trodden psychedelic ground without having the balls to embrace actual psychedelia, basically coming off as music to allow football hooligans to feel more cultured. Can't stand the fuckers.

A shame your initial impression effects your opinion of them so strongly still today!

To be honest, I don't think about them very often. But occasionally I'll see them mentioned, or hear one of their songs on the radio, or catch thirty seconds of them on television acting like absolute twats whilst blasting out their insipid, predictable, #LAD-approved cock-rock "anthems" on the mainstage at some corporate pig-trough of a festival, or flick through a copy NME in the supermarket only to find examples their twattish behaviour being served up as evidence that they're "proper rock stars" (or some other bullshit term synonymous with arrogant, overhyped wankers), and that will remind me of their wasted existence and those truly awful initial experiences. I don't think there's a band working today who I dislike quite as much Kasabian. If I hate Oasis for thinking they were The Beatles or The Stone Roses or whoever the fuck it was they thought they were after a few lines of cocaine, I hate Kasabian for being the (somehow even more heinous) offspring of that horrific idea.
