This big-at-home U.K. band — which has cheekily avowed its own genius and been nominated for a Mercury Prize — calls its third album a "soundtrack to an imaginary movie." With help from producer Dan the Automator, Kasabian cook up electro-tinged fuzz rock, druggy club music and tricked-out Brit pop. After being impressed by details such as the Middle Eastern violin on "Take Aim," you'll wonder where the tunes are: Sergio Pizzorno's simplistic melodies render the acid-drenched opener, "Underdog," underwhelming and make the string-swept, uptempo "Where Did All the Love Go" sound like blurrier Blur.
