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.... 🤣🙄 You might just about be ok with the signal at that time, as the stadium probably won't be at full capacity at that time, so you could still get a decent 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. Yeah, I'll be trying at 6pm. I've bought a few from Blood Recs over the last 18mths or so, and have seen how quick they go. I won't be paying by Amex again either, seeing as I missed out on The Lathums zoetrope cos when the album finally dropped and they wanted to take payment, it got declined and my reserved copy went on to the website and got sold. I've still not had a reasonable explanation as to why they don't allow a declined credit card paying customer at least 24hrs to make the payment again before releasing the reserved copy to resale. And my card wasn't declined for lack of funds. Seems some card issuers time out on payments that are taken ahead of time, but aren't triggered by the merchant till weeks later. I was raging.

Track times. So 10 tracks, 2 interlude/intros.

Oh that's interesting. I like an interlude. If I calculated right that makes it their shortest album to date.

Yes seems to be! 38mins 13secs long, I don’t think that’s particularly short though. As long as the quality is there I’m more than happy with that. We’ve heard 10min 43secs so far….1min 21secs are interludes.

I too am excited for the return of interludes. I just hope they're executed a little better than they were on 48:13.

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. 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. LOL. That really is revisionism of the highest order.

There must be a serious embargo on the tracklisting, they blurred it in the picture. I can't recall a tracklisting ever not being announced along with an album?

Did you manage to snag one? Almost half of the allocation snapped up already.

....Did you manage to snag one? Almost half of the allocation snapped up already. Lost 4G at about 17:45 🙄. Switched to good old 3G and managed to get one <#87. Result! Can stop stressing now. 🤣

Got my copy as well, so excited to have that beauty. Glad they're paying attention to vinyls now after the last 2 albums

I didn’t even know this was happening and by chance I went on Twitter and saw the notification from Blood Records and quickly bought one.I’m so glad it wasn’t a zoetrope.
