KASABIAN: THE NEW ALBUM WILL BE 'UGLY'

This, then, would be one of those things that we reckon we could have guessed without needing them to tell us: Kasabian's second album is going to be ugly.

The sleeve, certainly.

Tom Meighan has announced they've got real drums on the new one:

“But don’t worry, the album’s still really fucking ugly. Sometimes even I’m upset by its ugliness.”

He continued to The Star: “It’s a proper beast of a record and I can’t wait to get it out there.

“But to be honest… the whole album just picks you up and tears through you.

“Noel Gallagher’s been in the studio a couple of times for a listen and given it the thumbs up, so you know it must be as good as I’m saying.”

Oh, Noel thinks its good, does he? Well, that's a fine stamp of quality right there, then. He's never said that one of his own albums was brilliant and then had to scrap the entire bloody thing the first time the songs were heard in public, has he?
