Kasabian - Velociraptor! - 4/5  JAG

Kasabian are the closest thing to modern-day britpop.  Their deliberate swagger and dream like songwriting make them accessible and genuinely entertaining. This record is their fourth and is their second to top the charts.  Imagine a lost Beatle’s record with synthesizers and with the occasional menace of a late night pub brawl, there you have it.  Despite being, cliche-ridden and wound up in their influences, Kasabian make music simply because they enjoy it and their guitarist and songwriter, Serge Pizzorno’s explanation of the album title, “velociraptors hunted in packs of four; they were the rock and roll band of the dinosaurs” epitomizes this.
