***************** New Leaks: Kasabian [West Rider Pauper Lunatic Asylum] ***************************************

Just spotted the new Kasabian album online and I am about to give it a listen. There is no high quality rip yet but I was a little anxious to check it so I gave it a go. I was a huge fan of the first record and was a little disappointed with the second one. So far this one sounds decent. I read that the whole album is suppose to flow from track to track. Here is some more info from wiki....

"For this album the band recruited American hip hop and electronica producer Dan The Automator, who is best known for his work on the first Gorillaz album. Guitarist Sergio Pizzorno told BBC 6 Music; "It's a real journey and it also will fill a dance floor. It's about people joining in and I think that's what we're about. There's a couple of songs that kind of went New York [Rolling] Stones and there's definitely one song that sounds like Daft Punk and The Clash together, which is quite interesting. We've always been really funky and we've always had a real groove, and I think he helped with pulling things out and being more rhythmic rather than throwing loads of instruments at it. I think it's definitely got more rhythm.">

"Kasabian started work on their third album in late 2007. The band have said that their third album will contain an early Pink Floyd-influenced song that "sounds like Syd Barrett."[8] During the making of their third album, they recruited live replacement Jay Mehler as a permanent member of Kasabian.

When asked about the direction of the album, frontman Tom Meighan explained, “It all joins together which is beautiful, there’s no gaps in it, it’s very psychedelic, there’s very much elements of the first but it’s a more distant sounding Kasabian than we have been with the last two albums.” He also spoke of the title, “It’s a loony title mate, but we have a couple of titles and we have picked one that has lots of words, it’s a tongue twister!”[9]. The band also headlined the Main Stage at Creamfields in Daresbury, England, debuting "Fire", a contender for the new record. This was followed by a set at the Hydro Connect festival in Inverary, Scotland."
