KASABIAN "velociraptor!" cd,2011.
i won this one several weeks ago via a Facebook competition from the Australian Record Industry Association FB page for correctly picking in order the top 5 singles in our charts for the following week...and that was the first time i entered it!also won another five cd's,a copy of Foster The People's album on vinyl also and the 12" single of their "pumped up kicks single"
anyway,
it was good to win numerous albums that i didnt own and probably would never got around to purchase.
so,
i have heard of these guys,seen them on Jools Holland's show several times...but they have never been really popular outside of the UK...and judging by the quality of this,their fourth or fifth album, it is hard to see why IMO.
sure there are a couple of duds on this one,the first and last tracks actually, the rest is very good indeed with three brilliant tracks IMO.
this stuff i s good alternative rock IMO, mixed with what i would call 'middle eastern' chants,maybe even a sitar sounding instrument in several tracks.
these guys certainly have cockyness,swagger and self belief much in the same vein as the Gallagher brothers, and are known like Liam and Noel to indulge in all the excesses of the rock n roll lifestyle...
IMO this is a very good album that i can see growing on me over time and it has encouraged me to seek out their back catalogue....
