Kasabian - Another Great British Band...

Advantages: A superb album, with swagger, great vocals, invention, clever melodies, and powerful rhythms
Disadvantages: It took me so long to find them...

...I'll admit it - I'm something of a latecomer to the Kasabian party. Up until recently, I had heard of them, but didn't think I knew any of their songs. In fact, all I knew was that they were some sort of guitar/electronica mash-up, and, to be honest, it s ...

A Cracking Debut

Advantages: Great Ideas, some banging tunes
Disadvantages: A couple of duds

Reason is Treason, Treason is Naughty

Advantages: Plenty of mood, plenty of groove. Intensely atmospheric.
