West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum

Kasabian is fun--That's all I can say about them before listening to their new album. I like them because they seems like maniac sometimes ,they also created good riffs and Noel really loves them. In their new album West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum, I'd say it's the first time I genuinely like their music. Of course it's still fun and has that 'Brits swagger', but it's more funky, psychedelic and somehow less-polished. I was hooked upon hearing the opener Underdog, it's harsh and upbeat which brings out most of the songs' concept:lunacy. Most of the time you'll be spinning around in the great riffs and bass line(Fast Fuse, Fire), occasionally confused by the subtle sadness and sudden soaring. What makes West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum so enjoyable is how "Kasabian-esq" it is, no other bands could make a record quite like this. With their infamous energetic live performances, I could already picture the crowd chanting 'I’m on fire' with Tom the lead singer.
