Kaiser Chiefs - Employment (CD 2005)

excellent driving album- Everyday I love you less and less and I predit a riot are worth buying this album for alone! the other tracks are a bonus

This really is down and dirty, grab em by the balls and don't let go, rock and roll. This is a fantastic album and the boys are getting their rightful rewards for producing it. If you haven't heard it yet, you're wrong, well partly - you must certainly have heard clips as so many are used on TV for trailers or articles within programmes. (Not to mention the various karaoke versions Phil Jupitus delivered on 'Never mind the buzzcocks'.) These Leeds boys really know how to rock and that songs have to start with terrific music, not scrag end stuff that can be fixed in the mix! Kaiser Chief will be massive. Get in now, so in years to come you can say you were there from the beginning.

it took a while to get to like this album... i liked the songs on the radio, but i needed to listen to this around 4 times before i started to tap my foot and sing it when i was out.
now i listen to it all the time...
its great, everyone needs this album, its GREAT.
hope this review is helpful

Possibly the best album of the year. Full of great tracks, worth whatever you pay for it. I Predict a riot, Nanananana and O My God are the best three on the album, I'd buy it just for them.

well i drive around 40000+ miles a year, so listen to all sorts and my ipod 10000+ songs is full of everything but you know what.............. this is a excellent driving album - Everyday I love you less and less and I predit a riot are worth buying this album for alone! the other songs are still pretty bloody decent, this an K T Tunstall are the ones baby, yeah!!!
(IF THIS HELPS PLEASE PRESS YES)

It's funny how some people seem to automatically classify commercial success with mediocrity and want to put it down. I bought the Kaiser Chiefs album last year and found it to be a refreshing breath of air. Clever lyrics that somebody has actually thought about ("Watching the people get lairy",one of the best opening lines ever!) catchy choruses and yes they can be viewed as repetitive but you can't get them out of your head and I bet they're great to sing along to live (I'll find out in April at Ally Pally).
"Below par and mediocre" maybe they said that about The Small Faces and Madness, there are certainly greater similarities there than with Britpop. Probably accounts for their wide appeal.

Kaisers actually look like they enjoy what they are doing and believe in their music,and have all paid their musical dues if you know anything about them, I look forward to their next offering.

Oh and I'm neither a little boy or a teenage girl in fact I'm a musician who has been playing for some 30 years with broad musical taste from Holst to Hendrix .So obviously their appeal is wider than you think.

Go buy it and judge for yourself.

After all a review is just one person's opinion!

Normally, this is not my type of music, but on listening to this album, I was hooked. Not only by the well known titles, such as "I predict a riot", "Na Na Na Na Na", but by the vast majority of the other tracks on the CD.
It is a truly fantastic album - a true credit to the lads from Leeds, and to the British Music industry as a whole!

This is good album, I normally don't like this style of music, BUT the singles tempted me in, however they are the best tracks on here by some way!

This album is just excellent, nearly every one of the album tracks is a track that could be released as a single. It is just an amazing CD.

You will love their music, you may have heard their hits like "Oh My God" and "Everyday I Love you less and less" also most recently "Modern Way", but along with these are many other great, and catchy songs such as "I predict a riot", "Saturday night" ando ne of my favourites, if not my favourite "Time Homoured tradition"

Definatley worth a buy, and especially as you can get their CD pretty cheap now

All of lifes frustrations are on this cd. The Kaisers however approach each
subject in a way to cheer you up. In short buy it enjoy it and look out for the next new release

TRUELY A MAGNIFICENT DEBUT ALBUM. KAISER CHEIFS ARE ORIGINAL BUT ALSO REMINISCENT OF THE GIANTS OF YESTER YEAR - PUNK INFLUENCED BANDS. I CHALLENGE ANYONE NOT TO FALL IN LOVE WITH THIS UNIQUE ALBUM, VERY CATCHY WITHOUT THE EMBARRASEMENT OF LISTENING TO A CHEESEY BAND. THE KAISER CHEIFS [EMPLOYMENT] WILL GIVE ANYONE WHO NEEDS IT, THAT COOL FACTOR. WHY OH WHY DID THESE GUYS NOT RECEIVE THE MERCURY MUSIC AWARD? WHO THE HELL WAS THE TRANSVESTITE WHO WALKED AWAY WITH IT.

What can I say? An absoloutely fantastic album, one of the best of 2005 - you can see why this won three awards at the Brit Awards 2006. This will delight any Indie/Rock fans, but will also entice also entice newcomers who have never even heard of the Kaiser Cheifs. Perhaps some people (like they have already mentioned) might need to get used to this album, but it's upbeat (and at times I even found humourous)tone will soon come to charm this. Even as I listen to "Employment" today, it still does not fail to physically put a smile on my face. Employment must-have album, you will NOT be dissapointed, especially for the bargain price you can buy it at.

Top picks are:
I predict a Riot
Oh my God
Everyday I love you less and less
Modern Way
Na Na Na Na Naa

I bought this as my son like this band and we like similar music. Not sure they do it for me though. Some tracks are good so not totally dissappointed or anything it won't get played as often as other cds but still pleased to have it.

goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood

Superb debut album,every track could be a hit single and plenty were. No filler, unlike some albums I have bought over the years.Highly recommended.

Brilliant album from a brilliant british band! This is a must have album for your CD collection! Can't wait to see them play live in August!

Kaiser chiefs make a good first impression with their debut album 'employment.' Apart from one or two songs all of the tunes are catchy and get stuck in your head and the lyrics are written well.

This is an excellent album Ive listened to many times, and finally decided to add to my collection. Now I must get the other ones!! Modern way is my favourite track, with a great video!

love this cd! great songs by great artists would highly reccomend listening to this cd
