This might be the biggest piece of crap album i have heard in a very very very long time. what were they thinking. and i actually like the first one, so i don't have anything against them personally. I was excited to hear what the new one was going to sound like. but this is just horrible. HORRIBLE. and to think, they claimed that this was going to be a classic album like Revolver. Swear to God, they said that. They said this was their "OK computer". Keep dreaming guys. See you in the discount bins...

Sounds like the album Oasis have been threatening to make for 5 years. This is not a good thing. I just wish these bands would quit bigging themselves up so much and start making some decent music

I was reading NME.com this morning and these douche bags had the nerve to say that they are as good as Radiohead:

" singer Tom Meighan told NME.COM: "Radiohead will be good competition. I'm a big fan and I do wish I could go and see em. But we'll give em a good run for their money. May the best horse win!"

Guitarist Serge Pizzorno added: "Its what festivals should be about, two different bands who are equally as good. If you wanna a carnage evening and you wanna touch the sky in some way then you come and see us. If you wanna listen to some good fucking interesting music then you go and see Radiohead. It's gonna be riotous."

They have to be kidding! Kasabian are awful and I can't believe more people arent outraged by this statement!

unbelieveable what a bunch of whiny assholes you are here!
kasabian might be arrogant but for a good reason!
nirvana, the beatles, fucking roliing stones are sooo overrated.
but you with your superior taste in music of course can say it´s a crappy album, you know what?
listen carefully, it´s solid gold
