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.

After the disappointment of their last album "Empire" I'm pleased to say Kasabian are back on form with West Ryder....
Opening with 4 killer tracks - 1. Underdog 2.Where did all the love go? 3.Swarfiga 4.Fast Fuse - you're thrown into distorted guitar riffs, thumping drums & fat base lines punctuated by some inspired earthy vocals overlaid with what can only be described as swathes of Spaghetti Western-esque backing vocals. Sounds bizarre but its brilliant!
Unfortunately from track 5.Take Aim (great Chorus but accompanied by whining trumpets and strumming guitar)they manage to take this nod to Sergio Leone a little too far. And by 6.Thick as Thieves and 7.West Ryder Silver Bullet.... you could be fooled into thinking you've inadvertently tuned yourself into Mexico's favourite Radio station. All fairly inoffensive but not what we came for!
Fortunately the album returns to the vain of the opening with a bang in the form of 8.Vlad the Impaler and following this are arguably the best 2 tracks on the album. 10.Secret Alphabets is psychedelic pop/rock brilliance and 11.Fire which I'm sure will be the song of the year and will therefore duely die a sad slow death at the hands of Radio Stations and TV Ads across the land.
This is a Marmite album that will take a few listenings to really appreciate and would have got the 5 Star Vote if Kasabian didn't, again, add 3 or 4 tracks that quite frankly feel like they shouldn't be there.

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.

10/10 just the most complete and brilliant album I've heard in a long time. Wasn't sure about Kasabian to start with, but on hearing 'fire' and then getting the album changed all... Read more

I loved this. I have a habit of playing something I like to death and till I sicken myself of hearing it. This though I go back to time and time again

Best band of the last decade.
To put it honestly Kasabian are a good band as they are, but compared to the tripe that has existed in the last decade, they are in a different league. Read more
