West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum

A couple of the tracks on the new album have been out for 18 months on a obscure 10" vinyl and Japanese import. namely "fast fuse" & "thick as thieves" which are both excellent.
Fast fuse is probably my favourite Kasabian song ever made & has great sing along lyrics "ooh baby I was born...with a fast fuse singer to abuse etc etc" . This wouldn't sound out of place on a Tarratino film
"Thick as thieves" is a more laid back Beatlesque type song that chuggs along.
other highlights I've heard so far is "fire" which also sounds excellent with a great riff.
seeing them live in Leeds last night did indicate the album will be an eclectic mix of sing along anthems with some trippy sounds.

all in all this is set to be huge.
bonus marks for the great title "The West Riding Pauper Lunatic Asylum"

Serge Pizzorno is really coming on as a songwriter. There are some tunes on this song to say the least. I stand by Kasabian being the world's leading Riff creator's in the world today. Then they pull out some real different yet fantastic songs like Thick as Thieves and West Ryder Silver Bullet; really trying to do something different. Stand out tracks for me are Underdog, Fast Fuse and Take aim although that's not to say the rest of the album isn't fantastic. Really worth a listen to; this is easily one of my favourite albums of all time and i couldn't recommend it more. Keep it coming.

this album has got a bit of everything prog rock, rock, dance ect, kasabian are exellent because they try new thing on each album all three albums to date have been exellent but this is the best so far from the start it picks you up by the scruff of the neck and shakes you about! stand out tracks are underdog, where did all the love go, vlad the impaler, west ryder silver bullet, fire and happiness. and if you ever get the chance to see these lads live then you MUST go!!!

Easily one of the best albums I've bought this year, and in my opinion their best work so far. You can see they've taken their time over this record and taken influences from such greats as The Doors and the like, and even if you don't like some of their new sounds you have to sit back and admire their creativity, both instrumentally and lyrically. 5 out of 5. Genius.

This album is filled with great addictive tunes right the way through, can't stop listening to it.

The best tracks include - "where did all the love go", "fire" and "fast fuse", and more!

Great album and highly recommeded!
