    Very disappointing album. I usually find a song here or there that I like on thier albums. But this one is bad. Didn't like any songs.

    Some of this sounds great (V. Loud on a small speaker) Unfortunately who ever mastered this should be shot... when listening on a half decent system in the never ended loudness wars, Kasabian have ended up with grating distortion...also my meters are constantly tripping into digital 'overs' (CD version). has anyone had this experience with the vinyl version?

    The eerie indelibility of Days are Forgotten, or Fire’s lumpen power, are missing, leaving the strings of lyrical cliches that Pizzorno ladles up horribly exposed. Alygatyr, Rocket Fuel and Chemicals are all right, but this feels like a coda, not a new movement.

    ‘The Alchemist’s Euphoria’ is arguably one of the most daring, cohesive bodies of work that Kasabian have rendered to date; it demonstrates that when it comes to evolving, all it takes is courage, innovation and a dose of pure alchemy.

    What Kasabian have lost in aggression they have gained in depth and sensitivity, and the result is a vivid, adventurous album set at the outer limits of rock and techno.
