Kasabian

[Northern Soul]

Their new album "Velociraptor!" is coming out in the fall. The first two songs I've heard from it (Switchblade Smiles and Days Are Forgotten) are both great tunes. I can't wait to hear the rest of the album!

 

[Jive Turkey]

Cool, man. Any links to the songs for the not-so-motivated-to-google crowd?
I enjoyed the last album, though it was a little superficial

I LOVE Kasabian, saw them live in UK and they were fantastic. Haven't heard anything from their up coming album but I'd love to if there are snippets or linkies ( I should check their website). I know they've filmed at least one video of their new work and Serge has been working on a number of projects. I love some of their songs which are like dark moody horror stories like Vlad the Impaler. Lots of imagination and storytelling in some of their dark music but I love it. Wish they would do more touring in the US.

Can't believe this thread only has two posts. West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum is a masterwork. Can't wait to see them on tour again.
They already released some dates for a UK arena tour.


The new singles LIVE:

Kasabian - Velociraptor - Hove Festival 2011 [HD] - YouTube


Kasabian - Switchblade Smiles - Hove Festival 2011 [HD] - YouTube


Anyone going to see them in the UK?
I can't seem to understand the stupid ticketmaster site.

Also, as far as the lyrics are making any sense.
Tom dedicated Reason is Treason to Bono in Amsterdam.

West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum is a masterwork.

I thought it was good, but it had very little depth. It's a fun album, but not one that I feel like going back to all that often. I prefer the debut album by far. Still excited for the new one though

 

[Carek1230]

Thanks for posting the singles. Wish I could see them live in the UK, he'll wish I could see them live anywhere. Hope they come to the States. Cool Tom made a shout out to the B-man!!

 

[LuckyNumber7]

I'll have to give it a listen when it comes out (after I catch up with their previous material).

I only know one song (Fast Fuse) but I like it!

 

[Jive Turkey]

Heres the latest single. Not sure how I feel about this one. I really like the live version of Velociraptor though

[Jive Turkey]

Heres another one

Kasabian - Days Are Forgotten - YouTube

 

[Carek1230]

I like Switchblade Smiles, live

 

[Northern Soul]

Switchblade Smiles is fucking badass!

 

[Jive Turkey]

Reminds me of that Linkin Park remix album from years ago.... Not a good thing. I could be reacting a bit to the horrible video though. When do we get the studio version of Velociraptor?

 

[Northern Soul]

I like the 'Days Are Forgotten' mix with LL Cool J rhyming on it.

 

[Carek1230]

I like the 'Days Are Forgotten' mix with LL Cool J rhyming on it.

Agreed, good one

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Days Are Forgotten is simply a cracking song. Love the chorus.

 

[domo-kun]

Got Velociraptor today,

Listening to it now,
The album starts with an up tempo song, Lets Roll Like we used to,
Its Kasabian all the way, Sounds like it could be on their previous album,
becuase of some nice "arabian" vibes on a .
Tom and Serge's voices are working together so well in this song.
I personally like it already, I think it grows even more after listening to it a couple of times.

Any already kasabian fan should check it out.

 

[MoodyJ]

With the exception of Goodbye Kiss, I like what I've heard.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

It is a very good album.

 

[domo-kun]

so its not great?

Kasabian's Tom Meighan: 'Amy Winehouse's death made me stop partying so hard' | News | NME.COM

NME posted some Kasabian goodness in their 21 September issue featuring the band on the front cover and promoting the new cd and UK tour.

 

[MadForIt]

Tom is too mouthy for his own good
Kasabian are a quality band but have not had a classic album to their name
this one is quality - but no Morning Glory

Serge is a legend though

 

[PhilsFan]

I hear these guys are the worst people on Earth. Is that true?

 

[Jive Turkey]

I totally stuck a knitting needle up my nose after hearing about what he said about U2 fans. Pretty sure I've mashed all the areas of my brain that stored the memories of their songs. Fuck those guyskljoihakjnsnbdfadhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[martha]

I liked the first album a great deal and was charmed and entertained by their live show at a dump in Orange County for that first album.

That's about it.

 

[Jive Turkey]

They lost me for a bit with their second, but I quite enjoyed the third, though it was a little shallow. The new one has some really good tracks

 

[MadForIt]

Tom thinks he can carry the Liam gallagher attitude but doesnt have the classic tunes to back up that kind of cockyness

However, they are the best current British band by miles and that is not saying much for British music at the moment

Kasabian's Tom Meighan: 'U2 fans are cardboard cut-outs' | News | NME.COM

Lol I know it's already been posted... but seriously. Way to alienate a potential large group of support in the future.

What an ungrateful dickhead.

Don't get me wrong, I love Kasabian and think that they are great, but Arctic Monkeys are better. Especially with their latest effort, Suck It And See. So I would have to respectfully disagree with your comment of Kasabian being the best current British band by miles
