This week I am listening to “48:13” by Kasabian
If Kasabian had released at the end of the ’80s or early ’90s I would have be completely in to this album.
Stylistically its a bit all over the place but is an incredibly strong creative work. The album offers some short interludes along with some deeply insightful tracks such as “Clouds” and “Bow.”
I can hear influences of Kraftwerk, U2, late ’80s pop-synth, Duran Duran comeback (“Bow” reminds somewhat tangentially of “Reach Up For The Sunrise”) and even R.E.M. in places.
I do think there are a couple of tracks that could have been cut by 30 seconds and would have been better for it. But that’s just opinion of someone with no musical talent.
