Krikey! Just HOW woeful are Kasabian??!!

From the little I can remember from them, they sound a bit like a Primal Scream and Oasis mashup, only lacking in quality and charisma.

I'm not particularly offended by them. At least they're not The Darkness (however, by that comparison I would be affected by very few things :D)
 
just to weigh in, kasabian suck balls. like all the things you hated most about primal scream, all rolled up with the tosspot bragado of oasis. what's not to hate?
 
I always had a massive problem with Primal Scream. I never understood how they had deals. Screamdelica is my era and I love love love it but anything else it just the indulgence of execs who wanted 'rock music' with their names on, not anything DECENT

very true. however, i go further and declare i never even 'got' Screamadelica.

IMO 'acid house culture' and 'guitars' is an amalgamation I blame for more misery than cocaine and bicarb.

It was fun at the time for me :cool: Things changed, in the little world of everyone what was 17. Was good.

Kasabian explained why they decided to name their new album, released this week, West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum and why this title includes the name of old Yorkshire madhouse.

The band’s guitarist Sergio Pizzorno said: «The album isn't about the place, I just first heard about it on a TV documentary, and the words just struck me. I love the way it looked and the feeling it evokes.

You would have thought that they would have researched it :rolleyes: Its West Riding Pauper Lunatic Asylum later called Stanley Royd Hospital, Wakefield, Yorkshire ... The sister hospital to High Royds; which The Kaiser Chiefs named a song after!!

Lunatics are in it would seem :hmm:

lol


I read somewhere that 'With such inspiration one could imagine that there was something really interesting on the cards...but no, same old Kasabian'
 
Kasabian played where me and Dovydaitis used to work a few years ago. They were shit, and a bunch of full-of-themselves tossers to boot by all accounts.

hmmm...actually, there's other kind of 'peer' records from that era which I DID love - The Beloved in particular, even Saint Etienne.

I dunno, there was just something about 'screamadelica' I never got. Perhaps simply the acclaim it received and the fact that for ages it was absolutely ubiquitous as thee lp you could guarantee would be put on when everyone went back to a party after a club.

I hated Beloved back then - soppy wet nonsense. But I now think Hello is aces :confused:

Little Richard
Little Nell
Willie Wonka
William Tell
Salman Rushdie
Kym Mayzelle
*sniff*

lo wtf

actually, thinking about it, it wasn't till the 'conscience' LP that I got into them, which I think was after we had some spectacularly good Es one summer night, and i heard it back at someone's flat.

one of those memorable times when the music just sounds soooo peerlessly perfect and i've loved it ever since.

maaaan :D

I once went stumbling up to the DJ at my local club saying 'ZOMG what is this?' about some tune, I was spangled on speed and poppers. It turned out to be somethin by the Super Furry Anumal :hmm::confused::hmm:

Drugs are bad :(

spangled :D

such a glorious term, hadn't heard that or yonks.

spangled for speed, mushies etc.

sparkled for coke & Es

It is the law.
 
i really like primal scream

i like how they are just always 'fuckit' with their music. they were never as good as some people thought they were and they knew it
 
I've only ever heard one of their songs, my ex put it on a compliation for me. I quite liked it, but not enough to listen to any more.

I was talking to someone at work the other day who had just booked some time off work. When I asked him if he was up to anything exciting, he said he was going to see Oasis at Wembley. Now, I am not a music snob, and I've seen Oasis twice before myself (in 95 and 96) but I was quite surprised that they were still so popular, especially with people younger than me (this person is in his late 20s). He then said "I'm really excited, because they are going to be supported by my favourite band of all time...Kasabian!"

I was very surprised then - and felt completely out of touch.

Jebus!!!!! Oasis and Kasabian on the same bill :eek:
 
Oasis's popularity is mad. you sort of assume that they must have vanished by now, but no, they are still making albums and selling millions and touring the world selling out everywhere
 
Nevermind the music, they should be beaten to death for calling an album "West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum".
