  1. Paste Magazine
    91
    Both anxious and anthemic, the third most famous band from Leeds, England (behind Gang of Four and the Mekons) lobs social commentary as sharp as drummer Nick Hodgson’s ties, and tackles subjects as brainy as evolutionary biology ('Like It Too Much,'), the tenets of self-help ('Tomato In the Rain') and gender politics ('Remember You’re A Girl'), all at breakneck speed.
  2. All Music Guide

    This is easily some of the Kaisers' finest--and most consistent-- music.
  3. Uncut
    80
    This is regal, majestic pop music played with a roundheaded bluntness. Off with their heads indeed.
  4. Mojo
    60
    Off With Their Heads deftest creations may fall just short of the Kasier Chief debut's ruddy-faced string of exhuberant big hitters, 'Never Beat A Beat,' 'Addicted To Drugs' and the huge 'Like You Too Much' are still sizeable cut above some of "Yours Truely's" tepid misfires. [Nov 2008, p.104]

    Good couple of tracks no real bad ones and It's only failing is losing the Keyboard that made Employment great and it's a bit 80s punk and not the quirky Kaiser Chiefs I have come to expect… Expand
