Off with Their Heads
“The Leeds quintet's third LP recaptures some of the ebullience (and charm) of their 2005 debut, Employment, after the darker cynicism of the follow-up, Yours Truly, Angry Mob. Lily Allen guests on two songs.”
Employment
“These Leeds natives are reminiscent of the Futureheads and Bloc Party; unlike those bands' debuts, however, this LP is entertaining in bursts but exhausting as a whole.”
Duck
““People keep on saying the songs that they’ve been playing will never ever change the world,” sings Ricky Wilson on the feel-good romp of ‘Duck’ single ‘People Know How To Love One Another’. “There’s boots on the ground and every single sound is like a bomb that will never explode”. Maybe he’s looking back on the years since the early ‘00s indie revolution, with the fires of the riot they once pre”
Stay Together
“You couldn’t accuse Kaiser Chiefs of stagnating with their sixth album ‘Stay Together’. The worst thing a veteran band can do is pump out similar albums of decreasing quality – a route the Leeds quintet have clearly resolved to avoid. Equally, they’ve ventured so far into alien territory it’s hard to see much of the gobby, eyeliner-smeared indie band that won fans with tunes like 2004’s ‘Oh My God”
Stay Together
“Kaiser Chiefs inadvertently make being a dinosaur with a guitar sound pretty cool”
Yours Truly, Angry Mob (Deluxe)
“Universal's boy wonders follow their rowdy first record with one drenched in hungover introspection, with predictable results.”
