after only buying it couple of days ago, i believe it is one those album u hav to listen to over and over. It gradually grows on u and next thing u know ur frothing at the mouth with excitement when u hear it on the radio. So far empire, sun rise light flies, and british legion have had that effect on me. Tbh, when i first got black holes and revelations by muse and sam's town by the killers (best band out there!!) i felt the same, and all it took was listening to the album a cupla times before i simply fell weak at the knees with excitement whenever i listened to them. All you Kasabian haters don't be so quik to judge, sit down relax, and fire up Empire (the album) till your ears bleed. You will begin to appreciate.
Michelle K gave it a9:
This is a great album. You can tell Kasabian worked pretty hard on moving from their great debut. can't believe some of the reviews on here to be honest. One of the best British bands out there. Best Tracks: The Doberman, Shoot The Runner, Sun Rise Light Flies, Empire, British Legion

Too much bravado, not enough substance.
Review Boy 15 gave it an8:
This album does three things brilliantly for me: 1 : It combines old style, almost 80's style music, with new hard-hitting indie-rock to masterous effects. 2 : I was thrilled when another reviewer (John M) pointed out that it is a "grower". Because that is the perfect way of describing it. Songs become Anthems after several listens. 3 : Their songs contrast eachother perfectly. If you want an original take on modern indie then this is just the ticket.

After seeing the band 2 times and listening to the debut CD a zillon times I felt like an expectant father when I heard of the release date for Empire. Unfortunatley it was more a miscarriage than a birth.
kvan33 gave it a6:
Not horrible, but a disappointment compared to their previous album. None of the songs are really amazing and the whole album insn't very inspired.
Kate B gave it a9:
I don't know what's got into some of the critics, but I reckon this is a great album. It uses a style using classical features which is different to a lot of the stuff around at the moment. Songs like Stuntman and By My Side are quite relaxing, in contrast to Shoot the Runner and Empire.
