There will be an extra track on FCOL. The track "Fragile" ft Labrinth will be the closer of the album. Saw this on various sites. here's one SOURCESure that's not an error? Fragile feat. Labrinth seems to be a song by Kygo. Could that be a hidden track or smth like this? |

I don't know if it has been mentioned, there is a Serge interview and a review in the current Visions, a German magazine. The review is a bit puzzling, it's not really negative, but it only gets 7/12 which seems a bit harsh! The only thing that review seems to take exception to is that the album contains "Funk and Dance from the 80ies". But how is that a bad thing, if done right? They never just stuck to one genre, that's - among lots of things - what I like about them!

How has it not leaked! ?? There's a lot more stringent rules around leaking promo's early these days, if done and controlled in a correct manner this can be quite effective. It looks like everyone has behaved with their promo copy's this time around and not let them go early. I always say when it's this close to an official release date, there's very little point to a leak now, you might as well just wait. |

Is there anything interesting in the interview? I can see that it's rather short, not sure if it's worth getting. I don't think there is anything really new in here, I would not have bought it myself just for that. (Bought it for the long Life of agony interview, no jealousy, Kasabian!  ) Let's see. The album title (they translate it into "Herrgott noch mal!") is something Sergio's grandmother and father were fond of saying and he likes how it looks written down. Leicester City winning PL and Serge's relationship to the club and what it meant to him. Their concerts in celebration of that, King Power Station and what that meant to him. His time-out in his perfect summer. And then on the other end of the spectrum Tom with his really bad time and Serge trying to help him by starting the album to distract him. The songs, Serge says, are super positive and full of hope. He started it after his summer travels. (He did? Not sooner?) First alone in his home studio with the aim of having the ground structure after 6 weeks. "If you cannot grab the listener within the first 4 beats, then you have lost", someone called Berry Gordy once said. That was Serge's aim, no song longer than 3 or 4 minutes and always a simple, good melody or riff. Those were his rules for this album and it made it fun and exciting. (How did Looking for action sneak into it then?) After "experimental" (Visions call it that) 48:13 he wanted to make another guitar album, inspired by Beatles, Nirvana, Talking Heads, Stooges, Motown and 70ies Rock. He wants to be relevant and make kids pick up guitars. And, yes, he wants to save guitar music. For crying out loud is an album full of humour. Ill Ray is inspired by Hip Hop. Serge's favorite line (from that song?): "What's your band called mate?" And, brace yourself, he wants to make 1000s lyric t-shirts! The album should put you into a good mood, especially in these times we live in. Apparently that interview was shortly after the Westminster attack, which he mentions. At least, he is sure, the album helped Tom. "Music cannot save the world. But music can give something to people that no other art form can. We are real. Especially Tom. When he stands on the stage, in front of 100.000 people, they don't feel alone anymore. They have a connection with that man up there who shows them his pain and his euphoria. That is very powerful. And I think we need that, especially now." Paraphrased or quotes translated from Visions 290, 05/17, p. 34/35. How many points on the FCOL bingo?  But I like the way he speaks about Tom. That deep love within that band is something that, apart from everything else, has always made that band feel quite special to me. |

And the review, my translation: >Always those resolutions. Actually, Kasabian wanted to record a guitar album, but then they ended where they never wanted to go: in the disco. Opener Ill Ray (The King) quickly opens the door, Kasabian keep looking inside, the guitars still firmly in hand, until they end up on the dancefloor with the 8th song. There they stay until Indie Rock is just a far away memory of the time when drugs were there to slow down instead of speeding up. But Are you looking for action is not just a funky dance track like younger Daft Punk, it goes even further in the chorus, in the direction of George Michael, including saxophone outro. Of course, electronic music is part of the influences of Brits formed around songwriter Serge Pizzorno and front bully Tom Meighan. But instead of Rave and Groove from the 90ies there is more and more Funk and Dance from the 80ies, the decade that Kasabian valiantly ignored for 5 records. George Michael notwithstanding, the new approach settles without problems into the poppy Britrock and the deliberate but successful big gestures in spirit of the Beatles and Oasis. Pizzorno manages to realise his plan to make an "oldschool" album especially in the musical implementation: FCOL is by far not as overloaded as 48:13 and reminds in its melodies sometimes even on the never reached again debut. Lyricwise Kasabian take the same road as Elbow recently, if less poetic: The times in UK are bad enough for happy music. Which is a doubtful approach, but it fits the band image. 7/12 Christian Wiensgol in Visions 290, 05/17, p. 104< PS: To me that reads like: "Actually that is a pretty good album, very joyful, lots of fun, but, you know what, I really don't like Kasabian and boy am I not clever with words!" Still, it does actually sound exciting! |

I just want some damn reviews I like reading reviews before one of my favourite bands release an album! Its good to picture how they're gunna sound etc. Also builds up the anticipation. Maybe tomorrow we'll get a flood of reviews? |

We are only now getting all the interviews they did in Australia in early March, surely that's not because Australia forgot to publish them. They probably have a date and they can't put anything out before then. We already got so much info very early on in 2016, maybe they want to keep it exciting for the last couple of songs.
I'd rather make my own mind up than read yet another self-indulgent "this track sounds exactly like Beastie Boys making love with George Harrison while Kurt Cobain sings in the shower" piece of creative writing. I couldn't be less interested in what some random person thinks of it.

Lol yea it's true that a bunch of these reviewers just treat Kasabian like they make nothing but mash-ups and they're usually the most god-awful descriptions that make you wonder who or what they were really listening to. Still, the wording on most reviews, whether positive or negative, tend to give me a general idea of what to expect from the overall direction of the album. I just want more of that. I'm already super intrigued with the few descriptions of the new album and its "disco-style" leanings |

Remember all of the reviews of 48:13 where no-one could get past google/bugle in eez-eh and proceeded to shit can the entire album for lacking lyrical complexity.
Who cares what anyone else thinks, you'll make up your own mind.
