THIS is the third release from the Leicester lads, and it's a goodie.

With a heady mix of Sixties psychedelia, blues, Ninties Brit pop and a touch of disco, it's their most diverse album to date.

Right from the epic Underdog, through to the discoesque Where Did All The Love Go, new single Fire, to the classic Kasabian of Vlad The Impaler with its samples, distorted bass and angry electric guitars, there's such a variety of texture and melody.

With West Rider/Silver Bullet, which features spoken word from Rosario Dawson.

Fans will of course love the album, but with its blend of big beats, ambition and experimentation, it could change the minds of those who've doubted them up to this point.
