f**king idiots.

to quote one of my friends from facebook:

Dave wrote:I've never known a band more staggeringly obsessed with their own sense of self-importance. I mean, this reads like a 4 year old having a tantrum because no-one has paid them attention for five minutes. A word Tom - normally bands leave it to fans to deem things as "wonderfully crafted" and "heartbreaking".

Well, there go my last lingering shreds of respect for Kasabian...

Who?

ohh,..poor "rockstars"

mere pre-tour hype ... ...

Oh, they get what they deserve alright.

Of course, those quotes could be taken entirely out of context. This is the NME.

its actually worse than that - it's nme quoting an interview with the daily star:

Speaking to the Daily Star, Meighan said that he doesn't believe his band "get the credit we deserve" and said that he couldn't understand why any fans of his band wouldn't like the tracks on 'Velociraptor!'.

original interview: http://www.dailystar.co.uk/posts/view/2 ... uetta-NO1/

so yeah, you're right.

but it suits to think it's entirely accurate

I do like they previous album "West paper ..", nothing brilliant or new, just well recorded album with few old r'n'r tricks and mix of good olde generes with touch of electronic. But, after listeninig few songs what they used to promote this, new, album i'd say it's rubbish.
But, be fair boys and girls- this album it their child and the love it no mater what, so that comments and reacts are understandable.

Quite silly idioots, but I must confess they are amongst the ones I follow these past years, as I really "admire" their skill to write real anthems, like "shoot the runner", "underdog","where did all the love go" etc...
Velociraptor is ok, not one of their best but hey, what could you expect from a record with such a sleeve...

Now, that's the real good news:

Shoot the runner?
Spit the dummy....
