CD Review - Kasabian
If you’ve been keeping up with my reviews to date, you’ll know that one of my big things with CDs is continuity. A good album features very different tracks that fit together when listened one after another. Most artists don’t put enough effort or thought into their releases to score big points in this category.
But more than anything, British rock band Kasabian knows how important flow really is. Kasabian, a relatively unknown Brit rock band, has been rocking long but have remained relatively unknown on the American scene. Unlike other bands from the same nationality, like Muse, most American rock fans do now know of the band headed by Sergio Pizzomo. But for those missing out, this band knows how to make music and how to keep an album rolling.
The opening track to Kasaibian sounds like it should be played with badasses rolling away from the scene. In fact, “Club Foot” might have one of the most sweet opening sequences of all time. Its no wonder that car video games use it in commercials. But “Club Foot” is far from a good indication to what the CD entails.
The best part about this self-titled debut album is that no two songs sound alike. Instrumentals are different from track to track, lyrics are unique from song to song, and so on. Kasabian ensures that their CD is a good listen from start to finish and that is the label of a good release.
Even the songs without many lyrics are worth repeat listens. This is an excellent CD and I strongly suggest any rock fans check it out.
Grade - A- - A great CD that should be known by more American listeners.
