The variety is a virtue. It is the best summary that can be made Velociraptor! [RCA / Columbia, 2011] Kasabian. The fourth work of the British formation, Leicester recorded with producer Dan the Automator and mixed in San Francisco, is a reflection of the brand value Kasabian.

Its value is not just about that with every album go straight to number # 1 on the charts or “Switchblade Smiles” sound during this season as the theme of the second edition of Match of the Day of the BBC, where all followers English football’s see the highlights of the day of the Premiere League.

Its great value is the ability to show to pass the rock – “Let’s Roll Just Like We Used To” – the pop eighties – “I Hear Voices” – including stops along the twisted guitars of “Days Are Forgotten,” a beautiful ballad like “Goodbye Kiss” electronic rock “Velociraptor”, “Re-Wired” or “Switchblade Smiles”, or two melancholy pop gems like “La Fee Verte” and “Man of Simple Pleasures.”

Once again, Kasabian show that they are not afraid to risk, to experiment, to beat a record sounds to compose heterogeneous, multidisciplinary, without falling into incoherence. An album of many faces, many details such as the appearance of a horn section and a multitude of arrangements that diversity finds its meaning because it is the brand identity of Kasabian. His great courage and virtue.
