Album Review: The Alchemist's Euphoria by Kasabian
Very Good, Based on 2 Critics
Based on rating 3.5
With Serge Pizzorno at the helm, the Leicester band's songwriting will never be short of heft as they look set to begin chapter two of their story with a show of strength A new chapter opens for Leicester's heavyweight champions. Never short on self-confidence, Kasabian nonetheless admit to being completely thrown by the sudden change in circumstances within their band in 2020. Singer Tom Meighan was unexpectedly removed from his role as frontman, on the same day that he pleaded guilty to charges of domestic assault against his partner.
Opinion: Excellent
With space being one of the key themes weaving through Kasabian's seventh studio album, 'The Alchemist's Euphoria', it comes as no surprise that this experimental body of work has taken the Leicestershire quartet into a new stratosphere sonically, personally and thematically. 'The Alchemist's Euphoria' heralds a new era for the rock band after the departure of frontman Tom Meighan. It was a case of 'do or die' for the group.
