The new single is near, track 10 got its length on apple music, it's 3:31. Also, they were at Jools Holland about a week ago, seems to be aired on June 4th. And some people on reddit claim Gary was there too. UPD - Jools confirmed UPD2 - A few recent news articles featured some track titles, like ROCKET FUEL and TUVE.

Seems like someone else in addition to "The Guardian" listened to the Album. Are they so much unreliable? The content seems genuine.

Seems a bit early? Ours for 48:13 was a month before the release. But I guess they're busy with gigs (and more promo?) from now on. Also, they were at Jools Holland about a week ago, seems to be aired on June 4th. And some people on reddit claim Gary was there too. UPD - Jools confirmed Jools thread is here

Is anyone else worried about potentially hearing the new songs live and really loving them and then being slightly let down by the album versions? (Also known in these circles as the Ill Ray effect)

Anyone know of any other vinyl variations other than: - plain black - plain black with signed insert (official website) - limited edition orange (indie record shops)

Of the new album, Pizzorno added: "One thing about this record I feel over the other ones, is it definitely feels like a body of work that belongs together. It was a beautiful moment in mastering hearing it as a piece. I think it really holds up in our seven albums….The Magnificent Seven."

I wonder how much material he ended up using for The AE that had already been written (or even recorded) before the Tom Meighan gate happened. Because they clearly were working on new music as early as in 2019.

There was that snippet of Scriptvre (?) from March 2020. Alygatyr sounds like old Kasabian to me but that doesn't have to mean anything. He might have written some bits and pieces that he reused. Maybe some things were scrapped because they needed Tom's vocals? I'm not sure how far along the album was at that point, they're always talking about writing even when they're technically not doing anything. I doubt anything was properly recorded with the whole band. 2019 they were still on a break and Serge was busy with The SLP, and from spring 2020 onwards there were lockdowns.
I'm really excited for the album. I'm finding it hard to listen to their old music at the moment. It comes and goes. I'll always love these songs but the thought that I'll never hear them again like that is always there. I'm embracing moving forward with new material. I'm not expecting to adore every single thing but it will be a relief to have something that isn't tainted somehow.

I'm not expecting to adore every single thing but it will be a relief to have something that isn't tainted somehow. One thing that greatly helps me still be able to listen to their old music is Tom simply being "the voice". He didn't write any of the old tunes, and as far as I'm aware he didn't really contribute much to any real creative process. Serge has always been the heart, mind, and soul of Kasabian and that has only become more defined with the AE era. Cut loose from Tom's "sleazy-cool" vocal style, Serge has been able to successfully do more with the music in 2 singles than Kasabian was able to do with the last 2 albums.

Anyone know of any other vinyl variations other than: - plain black - plain black with signed insert (official website) - limited edition orange (indie record shops) There's a Limited version (2,000 copies) just been announced today from Blood Records. Not sure on what the theme/style is on it yet, but it's definitely not a Zoetrope edition. blood-records.co.uk/It goes on sale at 6pm UK time tomorrow Thursday 9th June. You won't see any details or link to the record until the drop time detailed above.

I saw their drop notification this morning. Just seen their AE clue. Thanks for the heads up vinylmojo.
I've got a huge complication now though... I'm at an Ed Sheeran gig tomorrow, and will be in the stadium by 6pm. What's the chances of me getting a mobile signal.... 🤣🙄

Whatever you do, don't gamble and leave it till later or the day after, I think these will fly and be lucky to last a few hours.
