The Alchemist's Euphoria

Product Information

The band tore up the rule book when they toured the UK on a sold out,17 date UK tour last autumn, and are set to do the same this summer with a string of landmark live shows.

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. Back in May, the frontman told NME: “This album was just us saying, ‘Let’s see what we can do – let’s see where we can take this’. This is followed by a trio of space-inspired songs (introduced by that calming, aforementioned soundscape) that find our sonic alchemist gazing at the stars as he considers the limitless possibilities ahead: melodic fist-clencher ‘THE WALL’, electro doom-monger ‘T. Meighan, on the other hand, provided the visceral connection with their fanbase – the simian frontman in the Liam Gallagher mould, the embodiment of the audience’s aspirations. Song titles sound like things you’d hear shouted outside the pub at closing time: Wasted, Are You Looking for Action?

Produced by Serge Pizzorno and Fraser T Smith, mixed by Spike Stent and written by Serge, ‘Scriptvre’ is one of the many standout tracks on their eagerly anticipated new album The Alchemist’s Euphoria on Columbia Records. Hann found The Alchemist's Euphoria "offers up some of the bullish, uptempo rock that sets moshpits roiling.

Couple of good tracks on there that would feature well on other Kasabian albums, but it’s just not the same without Tom. But one still longs for Pizzorno to make the album that is as great as the breadth of his imagination suggests. Como siempre he abrazado y amado la vertiente electrónica y psicodélica del grupo no he tenido "problemas de digestión" con el estilo del disco, que es algo totalmente subjetivo. Infatti solo dopo due soli ascolti del disco, che mi è arrivato il giorno prima del loro concerto all'Alcatraz di Milano, ho deciso di vederli dal vivo, pure per la prima volta per me nonostante li segua dai tempi di Velociraptor, e le canzoni di the Alchemist's Euphoria incluse nella scaletta sono ancora più potenti suonate dal vivo.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. The seventh Kasabian album nods in those directions without stepping conclusively towards them, and offers up some of the bullish, uptempo rock that sets moshpits roiling. New single ‘Scriptvre’ arrives in the wake of their snappy track ‘Alygatyr’ and heralds a brave new world from Serge’s magic kingdom.

Was aber gar nicht geht - auch wenn Kasabian hierauf keinen maßgeblichen Einfluss haben - ist die flächendeckend zunehmend miese Verpackung. Forse uno dei migliori dischi dei Kasabian, a mio parere, la voce di Tom Meighan non manca affatto, Sergio Pizzorno si è preso sulla spalle tutta la band e la produzione sonora e dei testi, un gran bel lavoro che rende anche molto bene nei live. Pizzorno wasn’t exactly Thom Yorke, pushing the band into wildly uncommercial directions and trusting the audience to follow, but thanks to his musical curiosity and willingness to stray from lad-rock’s desire lines, Kasabian’s catalogue has always had plenty of moments capable of raising an eyebrow.This is continuity Kasabian, with super-producer Fraser T Smith brought in to buff up their rave-rock sound. Folky acoustic jig ‘Letting Go’ twinkles with the magic dust we’ve come to expect from co-producer Fraser T.
