VT Supporter Chindie 11,396 Posted April 8, 2009 VT Supporter Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 They lack depth. They're a band that knocks out stuff that, if you hear it but aren't really listening to it, sounds quite good. But then you listen to it more closely, and realise that actually it's tripe. Made worse by the fact they clearly think they're the dogs bollocks. Link to post Share on other sites
VT Supporter Stevo985 40,277 Posted April 8, 2009 VT Supporter Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 They are distinctly average. But that wasn't an option so I voted for shite. Link to post Share on other sites
VT Supporter Designer1 9,903 Posted April 8, 2009 VT Supporter Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 They have some interesting ideas, but seemingly no idea how to craft those ideas into songs. Link to post Share on other sites

Made worse by the fact they clearly think they're the dogs bollocks. I agree with this to an extent...but not quite so harsh. They're not as good on close listen than they could be.

Condimentalist 1,800 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Decent, better than a lot of the 'indie' stuff out there at the moment yet also distinctly forgettable. Link to post Share on other sites
tomzep 3 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Great band and willing to combine many styles into an album, were much better with Kris Karloff but still one of the most exciting bands around today. I think the test of great songs is when the are played in other styles (acoustic, on record, live, dance remixes etc) and how well they work, Kasabians stuff translates well Link to post Share on other sites
Wainy316 9,807 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 First album is awesome. Amazing live too, saw them at Glasto 2007. Second album 'nicht so gut' apart from 3 or 4 songs. Link to post Share on other sites
VT Supporter Rodders 5,346 Posted April 8, 2009 VT Supporter Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 so bad, I'd rather listen to The Automatic on repeat all day. Link to post Share on other sites

villahero 1 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Biggest failures of ' the difficult 2nd album '........ in my opinion of course Link to post Share on other sites
The_Rev 7,870 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 First album was incredible. Then Chris Karloff left. Link to post Share on other sites
tomzep 3 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 First album was incredible. Then Chris Karloff left. My point earlier, he seemed to bring their ideas and hooks together into one overall sound IMO Link to post Share on other sites
villa4europe 15,697 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 best live band in the country Link to post Share on other sites
villadude 144 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I saw them last year at the Civic Hall, not really a fan of them but thought they did a pretty good show. Saying that though, I was smashed out of my face at the time and would have probably enjoyed any band that was playing... Link to post Share on other sites
piav_k4 110 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Pure quality. Empire is the highlight, a really epic track. To put an album out like their 2nd took some bollocks considering how different it was to the first, and the gamble paid off. Also brilliant live. Link to post Share on other sites
RJA1703 2 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Heard their new song the other day and i thought it was appalling. Loved the first album, never got into the second one and now them come up with this monstrosity. Gone right down hill im afraid. Link to post Share on other sites
Moderator bickster 17,766 Posted April 8, 2009 Moderator Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 To the people who like Kasabian so much, care if I ask how old you are? I'm guessing mid twenties at the most Link to post Share on other sites
