Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.7/100, a mean average of 73.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

The singles (Cutt Off, Club Foot, LSF, Processed Beats) are great, but the rest of the album is fairly mediocre. ID and U-Boat are okay too, but it's just an average album for me due to the lack of consistency and the couple of duds in the middle (Test Transmission, Running Battle).
Love this. Brilliant debut. There are many contenders who try to blend melody, rhythm and flow perfectly. Many fail. They has perfected it. Victory to Kasabian. Great music doesn't date and this is still as dynamic as the day it came out.
"Revival" was the key word for pretty much every indie band of the era. Kasabian avoid the most typical influences, like garage rock or blues or even new wave/synthpop and instead go for some Alternative Dance/Madchester.
Definitely prefer this to the direction they went in afterwards. Felt like they had a lot of potential.
I've know the band and this album for a few years now - West Ryder was my entry point and love that. I also enjoyed this, their debut album, but after a 2020 re-listen I had forgotten how good it was - Club Foot, Reason is Treason and Processed Beats open the album and are all great along with L.S.F.
But I hadn't fully appreciated the last few songs on the album with Test Transmission, Cutt Off and Butcher Blues now all landing with me - I think my taste and appreciation has changed since 2016 when I joined this site and started to really open up what I was prepared to listen to. This has also helped me reappraise older albums as well.
