Record CollectorJul 15, 2024True, the stoner-rock Passengers interrupts the flow - but not for long. Ironically, it makes for Kasabian's most epic album since Empire 18 years ago. [Aug 2024, p.104]

MojoJul 5, 2024Short it may be, but Happenings is full of ideas. [Aug 2024, p.83]

Jul 5, 2024With Meighan gone, Happenings does at times sound like the work of a band struggling with an identity crisis and consequently cosplaying some of their peers.

Jul 5, 2024Pizzorno has a strong melodic grasp and a way with a knockout chorus, as demonstrated on Coming Back to Me Good. .... Happenings is less enjoyable when it ventures into more traditional Kasabian territory.

Jul 5, 2024While Meighan’s Liam Gallagher-like machismo may not have been to everyone’s taste, his vocals undoubtedly had much more presence than Pizzorno’s rather bland voice, which does little more than carry the songs on Happenings along, and is indicative of a broader lack of musical personality combined with a lack of truly memorable songs.
