    Nothing about this album has even attempted to take the distinctive sound of Kasabian to new heights. There are glimmers of musical hope (the very begging of 'Are You Looking for Action', for instance), but as a whole the album falls flat.

    Simply put, For Crying Out Loud works because the band knows exactly what its listeners want.

    From the headlong punk-meets-acid-house charge of Ill Ray (The King) to the stadium campfire singalong of Put Your Life on It, Kasabian deliver hooks, headshots and upper cuts in a barrage of punchy sounds and aggressive attitude.

    It is not even sprawling and directionless but just painstakingly mediocre throughout.
