Let's get this out of the way first: Kasabian isn't a band with an original sound.

That said, this new band from Leicester, England has introduced a self-titled album to the masses that combines an array of different sounds, most of which sound incredibly refreshing.

"Club Foot," the first track and single from the album, starts out with a subdued noise intro before bursting in with the typical catchy bass line that serves as the backbone of the majority of Kasabian's songs on the album. "Processed Beats," the next song, is probably being played at a dance club somewhere as you read this review.

Every song seems to meander in a slightly different direction, yet it all seems to come off seamlessly. In other words, this whole album would fit in quite nicely with a typical Guy Ritchie flick.

This is the type of music you just want to throw in your car CD player, crank the volume until your eardrums feel pleasantly numb and drive until you're either pulled over by an officer of the law or your car runs out of gas.

Many bands have recently brought back the popularity of synthesizers in rock music, but Kasabian does this particularly well. Songs like "Cutt Off" contain a huge amount of cleverly used synth, with a sing/shout chorus by lead vocalist Tom Meighan that rivals some of The Mars Volta's lyrical conundrums: "chew the backbone, a solar system, these clever convicts."

The album ends with "U Boat," a song that shows that the band doesn't necessarily always need crunching bass to deliver a heavy and memorable song.

Kasabian may not sound completely original, but they seem to have a little something for many aspects of your musical tastes. Check out this debut, and ready yourself for more good things to come from Kasabian in the future.
