Kasabian-West ryder pauper lunatic asylum

**Amy-Winehouse** · 06-Jul-09, 22:47

Just got bought this as a pressie from my 2 boys, Im delighted as Im a big fan of Tom & the guys having blow evryone away at TITP in 2007 . 4 absolute stormers of tracks on a 12 song album, I was just wondering if anyone else has got it or was considering buying it?

I also got the Prodigys new cd but after the first 3 tunes I didnt notice that we were on the 9th track!! It isnt one of their best albums imo. What does the org music fraternity think?

2/10 - never heard either.

**Amy-Winehouse** · 07-Jul-09, 08:34

2/10 ?? And youve never heard either

I think all those bands you heard on Saturday has changed you Pepsi

The new Kasabian album is damn good.
The first tack, Underdog, is a great opening track.

I was lucky enough to see them when they were supporting Oasis at murrayfield 3 weeks ago. The place was bouncing.

Pepsi wont like it. I belive the Pride of Govan Flute Band is more his cup of tea these days.

Was there also, have to say Kasabian were amazing, The Enemy were amazing and so were Oasis to cap off the night.........10/10

Prodigy album is a good effort, but how do you match up to: Music for the Jilted Generation & Fat of the Land. 7/10

Have to agree with Pepsi here, Kasabian are pants, as are The Enemy and Oasis IMO.

Much better records are being put out by bands from our own wee country.

Okay then Blast, I dina want you to take it the wrong way, but WHO exactly are these bands you talk about? If you are referring to Paulo Nutini we`ll have to disagree as I think hes awful-especially live.

Surely you dont mean the likes of Simple Minds? I think Kasabian are brilliant live & they get the crowd going, Oasis have had their day imo but Im no sure of the enemy?

As I said , im not being detrimental to you but could you enlighten me please?

Off the top of my head, (active) Scottish bands that are better than Kasabian, Oasis and the Enemy:

Belle & Sebastian
Sons & Daughters
The Twilight Sad
Frightened Rabbit
Dananananaykroyd
Camera Obscura
The Beta Band
Isobel Campbell
Idlewild
Franz Ferdinand
We Were Promised Jetpacks
My Latest Novel

IMO

I'm sure Pepsi or some other users could list you off older bands too if you like.

Cheers.

Half the people in the bands you've listed are older than me.

Franz Ferdinand, Camera Obscura and The Beta Band presumably.

The rest are all in their twenties surely?

**guitarzan** · 08-Jul-09, 11:14

I like Kasabian's new album, few very good tracks on there...

As for a few other good Scottish bands worth a listen (maybe this should be another thread?):-

Aberfeldy
Dogs Die In Hot Cars

As I said in another thread, check out Washinton Irving who played in Skins a few weeks ago, especially "The Magician"

Sons & Daughters
The Twilight Sad
Camera Obscura
The Beta Band
Isobel Campbell
Idlewild
Franz Ferdinand
My Latest Novel

are 30 or older...

Damn, I forgot to mention Aberfeldy, though it wasn't intended as a comprehensive list.

Well, you learn something new everday.

Take it you're about 30 then Pepsi? I always thought you were a bit older than that!

**The Pepsi Challenge** · 08-Jul-09, 14:40

Thanks, I think. Am 32.

Excuse me for Laughing @ this response

Idlewild & Franz are good, as for the rest, maybe we'll see them in skins some day. nuff said

I like the new Kasabian album. Seen them lived and thought they were brilliant.

Cant beat a bit of Aberfeldy though!!

**Amy-Winehouse** · 09-Jul-09, 09:20

Franz ferdinand???!!! Id rather go & watch Celtc v Aberdeen than listen to their attempt at music, they are root with a capital R.

Ive only heard of Belle & Sebastian out of the others you mentioned so I cant really comment about the rest, Belle & sebastian dont have me reaching for the credit card either , so for me Kasabian wipe the floor with that list, Sorry but thats my opinion
