Claude says:Kasabian hit their peak swagger with this 2009 record—all swaggering synths and arena-rock anthems that felt like the last gasp of that late-00s alternative moment when British bands still believed in themselves. You grabbed it early and kept coming back to Fire and Underdog, tracks that had enough propulsive energy to justify the record's outsized ambition even when Serge Pizzorno's vocals couldn't quite match the production's reach.
