"Processed Beats" apes shamelessly the shambolic beat and double-tracked lead vocals of vintage Stone Roses, "L.S.F. [Lost Souls Forever]" is a sly and seamy ride through the hybridist sonic absurdism of Lo Fidelity Allstars, and "Butcher Blues" is another version of Swinging London revisionism with its hazy dissolves, tube station announcement vocals, and head-nodding electronic percussion. Each of these songs possess that certain kinetic fizz that makes a great single. The strutting Mani-istic bass of "Processed", "L.S.F."'s handclaps, hip-hop breaks, and soaring chorus ("Come on! We got our backs to the wall!")- in its best moments, Kasabian is the soundtrack to the slow-motion Guy Ritchie movie inside every lad's head.
That quality makes "Club Foot"'s tensely barbed guitar perfect for punching faces to. And yet, its initial rush dissipates. Like the harsh house lights of the pub at closing time, the groove can't go on forever- especially when it eventually starts to morph into every Primal Scream song you've ever heard."
