Album Review-Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds LP

After several similar artists, including brother Liam's new band Beady Eye and the clueless Kasabian, tried harvesting the magic that Oasis mustered in their heyday, it is satisfying that the elder Noel made something satisfying with his resurgent High Flying Birds LP.    Where Beady Eye's ineffective song-writing and Kasabian's desperate mix of disparate sounds failed them, High Flying Birds gets your attention with simply clever songwriting and honest musicianship.    An airtight album from brother Gallagher to be enjoyed at any altitude.

Album Review: Kasabian - Velociraptor!

As Kasabian's guitarist and songwriters claim in the track by track guide to Velociraptor!, the title of the LP is meant to be screamed, but I think as more of a warning for others in the area who might also have functioning ears.    The new Kasabian full-length is a blend of Happy Mondays, Oasis, and Space, but do not include any of the positive components of the aforementioned bands nor do they make valid comparisons of their own songwriting in the track by track against other historically relevant pop groups.   An immediately tiring and consistently, though accidentally, humorous album throughout, Kasabian suprisingly receives substantial acclaim in the UK.    Replete with many awkwardly funny moments, the track by track interview clips expose a band struggling to describe their music with unexpected results.
