Album Notes
Like other bands in the British New Wave/post-punk-revival class of 2005, Kaiser Chiefs faced the dreaded sophomore album roughly two years later, and, while their peers in Bloc Party opted for U2-like grandiosity, the Leeds-based lads chose to steer their exuberant sound in a more pensive, wistful direction. Whereas the Chiefs were out carousing in the pubs on their debut, EMPLOYMENT, this record finds them largely hung-over and reflective, with the quintet even going so far as to title YOURS TRULY, ANGRY MOB's moody closing track "Retirement." Although there are energetic moments here--most notably, the catchy, synth-laden lead single "Ruby"--nothing approaches the gleeful furor of "I Predict a Riot" or "Na Na Na Na Naa."Providing an integral thread from EMPLOYMENT is renowned producer Stephen Street, who, having worked with the Smiths and Blur, proves to be adept at balancing lively anthems with melancholy numbers. In fact, ANGRY MOB serves to reinforce the Chiefs' Blur comparisons, with frontman Ricky Wilson often bringing to mind a scrappy young PARKLIFE-era Damon Albarn in spirit, if not in voice. Though some Kaiser fans may be put off by the less-than-giddy proceedings, the more introspective approach suits the group surprisingly well, making for a mature and intriguing second outing.

Editorial Reviews
4 stars out of 5 -- [T]heir second album manages to be full of surprises, while never straying too far from what you'd expect.

Put it like this, after listening to this album you will love the Kaiser Chiefs. I have listed to this album everywhere all the time, it is so brilliant. The best single in my opinion is The Angry Mob, which is surprisingly better than the number one track, Ruby. The track Highroyds is also pretty good. It also has some emotion unlike the previous album Employment like the song Boxing Champ.

So is it better than Employment? Well mostly yes, since this album is a lot more mature and not sounding like it's for five years old. However, it does lack that Britpop edge and the cheeky lyrics which it has in their debut album, which in itself is kind of a shame.

Kaiser Chiefs coulc call themselves the new kings of alternative/indie rock music. They still have a bit of Britpop, reminiscient of Blur and some seriousness like The Killers.

I would recommend this and possibly a contender for album of the year.
