The Third Single. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZubk45czDAMTV has some kind of promotion deal going on with Kasabian right now (I saw their "Empire" video at night & they play this as promo music for the new Rolling Stone show). So, with any luck, this might go somewhere. |

No, you aren't, but you're not speaking for the majority either.

Might I remind you, neither are you. Although I like Kasabian.

am i the only one who thnks this band is severely over rated? They're pretty much far from generating a general consensus - be it good or bad -, especially when it comes to the music press. So that doesn't make them either over or under-rated. |

I'll call them overrated too just because I don't like them.  But yeah, critics haven't really been all over them like I thought. |

No, as jaxxalude mentioned there is no "majority" on this. I allowed for the fact that the poster isn't alone in thinking they aren't great, but he certainly doesn't represent the prevailing attitude towards the band either. Kasabian lies in the gray area of critical reception. They certainly aren't as hated as Razorlight, but they aren't as heralded as Franz Ferdinand, either. (The hyperbole-prone NME stills dons them the dukes of British rock, however). Anyway, I do consider this band underexposed in America. I doubt this song will do much for them here, if "Empire" couldn't. Hopefully, the video for the aforementioned will turn some heads, though. It's excellent in every way (and Sergio is painfully attractive to look at). |

Does everything have to be spelled out for you?

I side with penance on this nitpicking argument.

There's nothing to f**king side on.
I guess you misinterpreted the way I responded to the poster.
I can't help that - since then, I further clarified what was already pretty self-explanatory. Okay? Understand?
Time to move on.

I like this more, than shoot the runner, but less than empire, is the album worth getting, as have discovered their first album and really like it.

Yeah, I think it is worth getting. It's a real grower. My favorite track is "The Doberman". Download it and see what you think. :)

Album IMO is nowhere near as good as razorlight's self titled release and this is aweak choice for single. If they are looking for some decent exposure stateside, then they should piggyback Serge's appearance on DJ Shadows "The Tiger" instead. Now that is a good tune!

I agree this isn't the best choice for a single. It's pleasant but shapeless (a problem that plagues a great portion of the first half of the CD). Radio will not respond to a meandering soundscape.
"Stuntman", "Seek & Destroy", and hell, "The Doberman" (edited) would be smarter choices.

This is my least favourite single off this album so far, but it's still good.
