48:13 by Kasabian

48:13, Kasabian's fifth studio album, came out in June 2014 on Columbia, named with a shrug after its total running time. Sergio Pizzorno, the Leicester band's songwriter, guitarist and second vocalist, produced it himself for the first time, and he steered them hard toward the dancefloor: fat synths, pounding electronic beats and chanted, terrace-ready hooks, with Tom Meighan's lairy vocals riding on top and Chris Edwards and Ian Matthews laying down the rhythm.

"Eez-eh" is the loudest proof, a daft, stomping rave-rock blast. Not everybody was convinced; critics were split on the electronic lurch and hard on the lyrics. It still went straight in at number one in the UK, the band's fourth chart-topping album in a row, and that same year Kasabian headlined Glastonbury.
