    An unstoppable, intense and astonishing assault on the senses that gives a respectable nod to the past while it blazes a trail to the future. [#9]

    Such are the highs, the weaker material suffers by comparison. [Sep 2004, p.111]

    Sure this album may well sound awesome if you've just snorted a metre of charlie or recently breakfasted from a menu of 'shrooms and LSD, but for sober ears it's enough to drive anyone to drugs.

    Cokemachineglow sum up Kasabian perfectly, their debut album is nothing we haven't heard before. They sound like Primal Scream if Primal Scream sucked.… Expand

    One of the most boring, uninteresting CDs I've listened to in the last few years.
