    Good solid album, not their best work, but still a good album in its own right. I think some of the "professional" reviews on here are ridiculous.

    This album has vindicated The Music. They soar and manage to write better more inspiring songs on their 3rd. All the above reviewers should get new jobs maybe being disposal operatives or something more useful because clearly they haven't a clue!

  1. Kasabian and their brass-necks have long since appropriated The Music's mantle of anthem-whoring psychedelic horsemen and there's barely a moment over the course of 12 tracks here where they contest that.
  2. For now, Strength In Numbers, whilst not exactly redefining the zeitgeist, is a lot better than anyone could have expected.

    The band remains shackled to that wearying off-beat pulse that cauise trhe likes of 'Fire,' 'Vision' and the title track to tire. [July 2008, p.112]
