Feb 6, 2014Genre: Rock
A superbly confident debut album that brings something a little bit different to the genre. There is a reason this rock band are still selling out arena's and headlining festivals a decade on. -
Jan 14, 2012The Primal Scream wannabe tried their at the debut, well.... it done darn good job

JimmySJul 4, 2005Excellent album, heard LSF on a free CD with a magazine and bought the album on the strength of that one song. Best decision I ever made. Keeps at a level of quality that no other album I've listened to in years has. Great music, great beats, gread band. Consistently brilliant!

KyleMay 26, 2006I throughly enjoy this album. "Butcher Blues" Is by far my favourite track off this album. But, "LSF" comes in at a close second. Both tracks excute That Classic British cool that makes walking with this playing on headphones a very enjoyable experience. The really neat instrumental "Ovary Stripe" is much fun to drive too. I would really like to see this band live... soon.

AndyDJan 11, 2005What an excellent album! At last something original has emerged with something to it as opposed to the recent mediocre samey rock. Well done Kasabian and its nice to see that a band from the midlands has made such an impact on the music industry.

ChrisDJan 28, 2005Horrifically overrated (mostly by Tom Meighan's motormouthed arrogance); hiding behind the 'cool' apathy of their image is a distinct lack of memorable tunes.
-
-
JamiePMar 10, 2005Definatly captures the sounds of the early 90's mixed with the tripped out beats from today. Not a bad listen.
-
-
AlexAMar 31, 2005Very solid album. Refreshing stream in the post punk waters. Club Foot and Reason is Treason are great tracks.
-
-
GraemeHMar 8, 2005An outstanding album. A mixture of Happy Mondays and Stone Roses at their best.

rogertMar 8, 2005anyone need more proof that Rolling Stone SUCKS? I find the music to be quite good, much better than typical "radio rock." This album has been out for a while but MTV2 finally featured them over the weekend.

leehApr 1, 2005Musically not the most challenging, but it is simple and pure dance orientated rock that you cannot help but dance too. Simple brilliance

RichRApr 10, 2005This band is BAD, meaning GOOD, and kind of scary. They're not afraid to throw a little bit of menace into the mix, and how many modern bands can make that claim? BLOODY FEW! HIstorically, a few come to mind: Stones, Velvets, Led Zep, Sex Pistols, Joy Division... (I'm not saying Kasabian sound like these bands, dork). But nowadays, not bloody many.

NorthFreedomFighterApr 5, 2005It grips you, it thrusts you into its world, it makes you want more. Revolutionary it may not be, but damn is it gutsy and smooth, you know they feel what they play, even if few others do. Plus, you will not see a better live act this year. Pure quality entertainment that takes you away, what music should be.

ChelseaDJul 9, 2005Cokemachineglow sum up Kasabian perfectly, their debut album is nothing we haven't heard before. They sound like Primal Scream if Primal Scream sucked.
-
-
CiaranGAug 26, 2005Quite simply the best album I've every heard. There are not many out there where all the tracks would get a 9 or 10!!

JohnJJan 16, 2005Solid Album. Enjoyable to listen to.
-
-
AlxDFeb 10, 2005Solid as a rock. Exciting purely because it heralds a significant arrival - suggesting that the second album will be the masterpiece. But this record has more than enough top tunes to be getting on with for now.
-
-
SamSFeb 8, 2005Better than average. Catchy, but does it have staying power?
-
-
JoeSMar 11, 2005at first i really liked this album, but it wears away, and the lyrics arent overly imaginative, still worth a lisen though
-
-
JonRApr 2, 2005an excellent album, they create a sound without making all the songs sound the same. the rock thing with a healthy splattering of break beats make it number one on my play list
-
-
ClaireHMay 9, 2005This has to be the best album I have ever listened to. I have been captivated from start to finish with Kasabian's atmospheric anthems. Each song is a musical masterpiece, including so many different sounds and types of music. Utterly inspiring

ChaunceyJJul 11, 2005the future of music with actual soul. I love this album
-
-
yrkSep 6, 2005This is regurgitated early 90's alt brit rock, and while I still listen to the early 90's stuff, this crap just seems like a blatant rip off, and tries hiding it behind their claim of electronic rock. BS. This has been done already decades ago, and way better. Sorry Kasabian. Your almost two decades late.

PScottJul 19, 2006A really good album. I love LSF, Pinch Roller and Cutt Off the most. I hope their second album lives up to this one.

JeremyLNov 18, 2005I listen to tons and tons of music, even the bands that inspired this artist, and I am surprised to find that this album only recieved a 63. This is the best, most different album I have heard in a very long time. It's pure mastery.
-
-
BryanMMar 15, 2005"Kasabian" is a captivating record at times. At other times, your mind may wander off because the music isn't terrifyingly as amazing as Kasabian believes it is.
-
-
JonNApr 21, 2005This is a nice step back to the old Madchester days, brought up to day with thumping basslines and good use of electronic shenanigans. Not a single dull track to be found. Astonishing.

JosephHJun 18, 2010This vote is to counter the ignorance of the fools who voted 1's and 0's. I actually rate the album, like much of Kasabian's work a 6. Brilliant blockbuster songs, let down by weak filler material.

MichelleKApr 13, 2007Awesome Album, awesome live band. what else can i say. Best Tracks: LSF, Cutt Off, ID, Club Foot, Processed Beats

[Anonymous]Sep 19, 2006One of the most boring, uninteresting CDs I've listened to in the last few years.

ConnorWNov 26, 2007Some people listen to the media and not the music too much. A really great album, it just came over me the other day how much better it is than Empire. This one is so much more adventurous than its follow-up.

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.

This is how the Stone Roses' Second Coming could have - should have - sounded.
