After the huge success of Kasabians’ third album, ‘West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum’, there was a fair amount of expectation on the band to deliver the goods yet again. They delivered with ‘Velociraptor’. Memorable tracks such as Rewired, Switchblade Smiles and the brilliant Le Fee Verte make this album a truly remarkable achievement for a band who in recent years have made real progress in becoming one of the UK’s, if not the worlds best bands.

Velociraptor doesn’t just have great songs, what makes it even better is the fact that when performed live, the album really comes to life. Tom Meighan, the lead singer of the band, didn’t need anymore stage presence, but the songs he performs from this album give him an extra edge which makes him one of the greatest frontmen of his generation.

Finally, the reason why Velociraptor is such a good album is because it is different. Nothing is similar to it and it is much more daring and ambitious than mediocre efforts from such bands such as Bloc Party and Two Door Cinema Club. Velociraptor is such a good album that I have no doubt it will stand the test of time.
