Album has grown on me a lot. I take back my earlier comments. glass is a cracking tune.
I got tickets for the monday show and the late one on the Saturday (I think) at Brixton. Was limited to 4 per customer on pre-sale which scuppered things a bit. Though 5 nights at a decent smallish venue beats one or two dates in a big feck off hall/field, imo.Pre-sale for their UK tour started at 9AM.
I got 3 tickets for Manchester (seated block 102). That night also happens to be my birthday
Anyone else bought some?
Yeah agree, Initially I really wasn't keen at all but the more I have listened to it the more I seem to appreciate it.Album has grown on me a lot. I take back my earlier comments. glass is a cracking tune.
How long were Kasabian on for? Going seeing them in a few weeks. Looking forward to it! I agree their new album isn't as good as the old stuff but is still good.Saw them tonight.
Still really good, but it became apparent their new stuff barring one or two songs isn't up to the same standard as what's gone previously. Felt like filler that had been put in to string out the better songs.
Plus they played Bow, which is my favourite from the new album, but changed it into some crap piano pop song and basically butchered it...can't complain too much though, since they were still better than 90% of other live bands around.
The Maccabees on the other hand owe my ears 30 minutes of their life back...during one of their songs some bloke kept talking to me, and I couldn't hear a word he was saying so just nodded and agreed, and then he'd say something again with a slightly more puzzled than previously look on his face. After he finally left my girlfriend informed me he was asking me if I had any drugs to sell.
They were on for about an hour and three quarters, and got through plenty of songs. Even if you didn't like the new stuff at all there'd be enough in there to keep you happy. A few of the new songs are really good live, others just don't have the same energy.How long were Kasabian on for? Going seeing them in a few weeks. Looking forward to it!

Not really a big fan of the Maccabees myself, the only songs I like are love You Better and Ayla, the rest is pretty average in my opinion.
Ah cheers! Plenty of time for them, I saw them a few years ago and they were really good live. Stuff like Bumblebee I could imagine being good live off the new album.They were on for about an hour and three quarters, and got through plenty of songs.

The Maccabees just sounded like a generic support band to me. We got there fairly early though and the place was already rammed so they must have a fair few fans...either that or people just turned up earlier because they'd actually heard of them
I might have a spare ticket if fancy it, think one of my mates has backed out..They are just a load of shitty noise imo.
I've listened to a lot more stuff of theirs lately but didn't see them when they were in Glasgow. People who did go said it was one of the best live performances they've seen, which I can imagine since a lot of their stuff is tailored to being played live anyway.It's a testament to how good they are live that those who do see 'em, more often than not, return to see 'em again. It'll be my fifth or sixth time on Monday, first time I'll be seeing them indoors though.
Agreed. Although I love their albums they sound much better live. They also tailor their act to suit the venue. They rocked Wembley and the Millennium Stadium and when I saw them in Plymouth (2000 capacity) they played a more personal set. It's hard to explain, they obviously played the same tunes, they just seemed to be having more fun with it all.I've listened to a lot more stuff of theirs lately but didn't see them when they were in Glasgow.

Underdog is a great song. Love it.
Very talented band. Check out their cover of Sunny Days. Sergio Pizzorno is an extremely talented guitarist and song writer.
Like wise, a lot of bands in their genre are dying out now. The whole lad rock fad is nearly at an end thankfully.I think I just grew out of Kasabian, like pretty much every other indie band.
And he also seems to be a decent footballer!Sergio Pizzorno is an extremely talented guitarist and song writer.

I think it will push Serg to get on with more of his solo stuff.Hard to replace the sound of a band when your front man goes. Will be interesting to see where Kasabian go after this!
