Sony. 12 tracks.
Rating: 3½ stars (out of 5).
West Ryder who’s-a-what now? The tongue-twisting title of Kasabian’s third album gives off a disconcerting Pink Floyd vibe, as if these Leicester, U.K. rockers got hold of some particularly potent hallucinogens and decided to write their own Atom Heart Mother.

No doubt this caused heart palpitations among die-hard Kasabian addicts, who lapped up previous pub sing-alongs such as “Club Foot” and “L.S.F.” like so much cheap lager.
