Kasabian brand first album 'sketchy nonsense'
Serge reckons 'Empire' is a monstrous leap
Kasabian guitarist Serge Pizzorno has declared the band's forthcoming 'Empire' LP to be a "monstrous leap" from their first record.
The guitarist reckons the 11-track follow up to the band's self titled debut stands up alongside legendary classic albums by The Who, Rolling Stones and Oasis.
He told this month's Uncut magazine: "I'm not going to hide the fact that I think it's absolutely fucking amazing. Noel Gallagher came down to the studio and even he was surprised by what a monstrous leap we'd made."
Serge even went as far as describing their debut as "sketchy nonsense" compared with their second album.
He added: "This time we wanted to make a great British album. A classic album that'll stand up beside the Stones, The Who, Oasis - anyone. Because the truth is nobody tries to make classic albums anymore.
...........................................
I can't remember the last time I have been so excited for a record to come out as I have been for this one. I hope all the hype is true and this becomes a classic. Kasabian ignored the post punk scene and took what has great from the 90s, mixed it up and created their own sound. Kasabian are the UK's White Stripes who will shake up the scene and get the creative juices flowing again......
