The Alchemist's Euphoria

Product Information

Because, yes, there is a concept of sorts at the heart of this album, with a Serge-like mystic travelling through the record on a voyage of self-discovery. Infatti solo dopo due soli ascolti del disco, che mi è arrivato il giorno prima del loro concerto all'Alcatraz di Milano, ho deciso di vederli dal vivo, pure per la prima volta per me nonostante li segua dai tempi di Velociraptor, e le canzoni di the Alchemist's Euphoria incluse nella scaletta sono ancora più potenti suonate dal vivo. Later, on the marching ‘STRICTLY OLD SKOOL’, Serge champions those outside-the-box thinkers who can’t be contained by other people’s expectations: “You’re Dr. The songs that feel more conventional – Strictly Old Skool, for example – come as something of a relief as a result. Of the new album, Kasabian’s seventh, he adds: “One thing about this record I feel over the other ones, is it definitely feels like a body of work that belongs together.

Serge, always the chin-stroking auteur to Meighan’s endorphin-inducing rabble-rouser, had to – as he puts it on this album’s ravey ‘SCRVPTURE’ – “reach for the mic as I walk from the shadow”. This is continuity Kasabian, with super-producer Fraser T Smith brought in to buff up their rave-rock sound. Song titles sound like things you’d hear shouted outside the pub at closing time: Wasted, Are You Looking for Action? Pizzorno went on to explain that he saw a parallel in the “out of body experience” that Kasabian have weathered since ejecting their frontman Tom Meighan, who left the Leicester band in 2020 after assaulting his partner Vikki Ager.Pizzorno wasn’t exactly Thom Yorke, pushing the band into wildly uncommercial directions and trusting the audience to follow, but thanks to his musical curiosity and willingness to stray from lad-rock’s desire lines, Kasabian’s catalogue has always had plenty of moments capable of raising an eyebrow. The Alchemist's Euphoria received a score of 74 out of 100 from nine critics' reviews on review aggregator Metacritic, indicating "generally favorable" reception.

It’s easy to forget how thrilling a rock band being unselfconsciously rockist can be, and Kasabian can be as unselfconsciously rockist as the best or worst of them. His self-titled album under that moniker, which featured rappers Little Simz and Slowthai, ached with woozy, bluesy, minimalist comedown tunes. Rocket Fuel rolls in like the Prodigy, Pizzorno declaiming over a Middle Eastern-style riff, with a bassy thud that hits in the chest, resolving into a soaring refrain. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.And that presence is needed when you’re delivering lyrics such as: “Jet packs / Life in a simulator / Drip feed / Straight to the incubator. On digital services, "Alygatyr" is only 3:23 due to the single version being supplied instead of the album version. Smyth described the album as "punchy", writing that "Scriptvre" has "crunching breakbeats and snarling guitars" and "Rocket Fuel" is "a bit silly really, with its mix of rave synths and chanted vocals". Kasabian review, The Alchemist's Euphoria: Departure of Tom Meighan hasn't dimmed electro-rockers' energy".

Musikalisch vielleicht eines der besten Kasabian Alben – hierfür gibt es von mir die volle Punktzahl. The first is a generic MOR phone-torch-waver, the third an electronic burble with a cursory verse, while the second spends its last couple of minutes doing the laziest thing a track supposedly about space can do – emulating the sound of early-70s Pink Floyd, right down to the Nick Mason-style rolls around the drum kit. Pero tras cuatro o cinco escuchas solamente puedo decir que me parece un álbum muy interesante y con algunas canciones sobresalientes.Even if your head’s not right, it’ll be alright,” Serge sings softly, “if you just start letting go”, his steely resolve revealing the sense of rebirth at the core of ‘The Alchemist’s Euphoria’. So kann man den Umsatz „körperlicher“ Tonträger immer weiter zurückfahren und sich danach über die bösen, bösen Streamingdienste beschweren. so he's not particularly missed on record", although felt that Pizzorno "will need to grow in stature" to "control" the crowds the band performs to.
