As a 41 year old I would like to think i'm quite open to what I listen to, whether it be; Reggae, Pop, Rock, Soul, Dance, Dubstep the list of genre's is endless..... lol. But over the last ten years or so, i've been quite disappointed in the decline of much of today's modern music. Why? well! most of today's music has lost something, can't exactly put my finger on it, it could be because it's lost it's soul, it's irony, it's power to provoke whatever it is I find myself drifting to the classics, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Jimi Hendrix etc, etc... The last group that really spoke to me was Radiohead which had passion, intrigue, soul and most of all it was music that you couldn't ignore. GOOD MUSIC to me, whatever genre it is, is suppose to move you, either emotionally, physically, or intellectually.
This ALBUM is one of those albums, I can happily say. If you are after an album which makes your feet tap, brain think, heartpound and most of all put a smile on your face, BUY THIS MAJESTIC ROCK ALBUM. THANKS BOYS.

Kasabian have really stepped up to the plate on this their third studio album the strangely titled West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum. Following on from their last two albums the good self titled debut and the decent second album Empire, Kasabian deliver a quality third album.
Kasabian have always had great tunes but with this album they have a complete piece with hardly any filler. Songwriter Sergio Pizzorno will now have to be taken seriously as a songwriter. The album is full of big stomping tunes, the kind that Kasabian specialise in. Album opener Underdog sets things up nicely with its big chorus. The standout tracks are Thick as Thieves, Vlad the Impaler, Secret Alphabets and Fire. The best track on the album is Fast Fuse which is a song you will revisit plenty of times. Another bold tack is West Ryder Silver Bullet which features actress Rosario Dawson sharing vocal duties with lead singer Tom Meighan its an idea that shouldn't really work but the results are great.
The special cd/dvd edition is that rare thing in that its worth spending that bit extra to get as the dvd included has two separate live gigs performed by the band you also getting a making of the video feature and the cool video for Vlad the Impaler, its also comes in a nice case with gold lettering.
This should be the album that takes Kasabian to the next step and it will be interesting to see how they can top this.

A Kid's Review
Format:MP3 Download
Im nearly 70 years old but love the music of this century (as well as the last). I had heard various tracks from West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum on the radio and recently downloaded the whole thing. I cant tell you how I was entranced by the power and beauty of the music especially "Underdog" , "Where did all the love go" and "West Ryder Silver Bullet"...........Oh hell I love it all.

Bewildering
The wonderfully titled "West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum" by Kasabian is a curious beast. At most points exhilirating, and at others, infuriating. Then why not a 2 or 3 star score? Read more
