Amazon.co.uk Review
While it's true that the self-titled debut from Kasabian doesn't sound particularly original, that's hardly the point. They can be forgiven because they do it so well. Their influences are obvious throughout Kasabian: "Processed Beats" is the Stone Roses song that never was, while "Reason is Treason" could have driven straight off of Primal Scream's Vanishing Point. Self-professed fans of the afore-mentioned bands, as well as DJ Shadow and Neu!, Kasabian are clearly not afraid of a little electronic knob-twiddling. The result is an album that harkens back to the baggy days of the late 1980s and early 90s, seamlessly switching between bass-heavy anthems ("Club Foot") and blissed-out tracks ("I.D."). And if they occasionally sound a bit like EMF, well, that's no bad thing--it's just proof that they know a thing or two about writing a catchy tune. Kasabian are by no means the first band to merge indie rock with dance floor beats, but they are easily one of the best. --Robert Burrow

Stephen (Nottingham UK)
I think the worst think to happen to music is the ability to down load single tracks from albums, as I think its made alot of bands these days lazy as you dont seem to find alot of albums these days which have only got 1/2 weak tracks / album fillers. Which means alot of albums these days have half or even more are weak tracks. So they just seem to put anything out there as they think at least we will make some money on downloads. And this album is a perfect example.

This album would have made a great follow-up to The Cooper Temple Clause' 1st album. I can't understand the references to Oasis etc in other reviews. The music is more electronic than most Manchester bands, although I can understand why fans of Oasis would like Kasabian the musical similarities are minor.
However if you like The Cooper Temple Clause, especially See This Through And Leave, I feel certain you would like this album as the similarities in musical style are strong. Not a rip-off of them but I would be surprised if they weren't an influence.
Anyway it's a great album and gets your foot tapping along from the first play.

Cracking album, and the band do it well live on stage, saw them at Millenium Stadium in support of Oasis, certainly will in my opinion be here for the long term, look forward to there new stuff.

This album took two days to come, which was great :D
Its an amazing album with anthems such as L.S.F and Clubfoot! Other great songs include I.D and Cutt Off! It is well worth a puchase for any Kasabian fan or crazy dance/rocker
NICE OPENER!!! January 6, 2009
Jason Thorne (England / Oxford)
What a opening album this is with a hint of Oasis and Stone Roses in the beat but for me Club Foot is the stand out song. As for the rest of the track lising again brillant I can't fault this personally I think this is better than Empire.
