Kasabian
Happenings
40--80点相当
わかりやすいみたいなところが
評論家からは敬遠されるのかねぇ。
1stでさえ年間では
NMEのみ。
CM等挿入で「背景/ストーリー」込みだと
singleとして受けそうなのはちょいちょいあるけど。

Kasabian have never truly been a critic’s band. A group who wanted to make music for the people, their openness, and propensity for big, festival-smashing choruses has made them an easy target. Perceptions of a laddish following haven’t helped, but these definitions have also served to obscure some of their more bonkers moments – an electro-rock-disco fusion, Kasabian are one of the more eclectic, creatively daring mainstream acts going.
‘Happenings’ is their eighth studio album, but it’s reason chapter two of their current iteration. Serge Pizzorno never wanted the role of frontman, but circumstances – the excising of Tom Meighan – meant otherwise. A far gentler, more relaxed soul than media perceptions of his band might assume, Serge is a true music fan, and this has enhanced their eclecticism, while adding fresh colour to their music.
So, ‘Happenings’. Even for the most hardened Kasabian-hater, this is going to be difficult to dislike. For one, it’s only 10 tracks long, a mere 26 minutes – 60 seconds less than the Ramones debut. Given its minute timespan, the haters won’t get much wriggle-room.
