    Meh. Look toward Employment for the Chief's peak. Start the revolution with out me is more of the same sound sans brilliance. While the KCs still have what they always did as far as 80s pop rock, there is nothing shocking here.

    This is a good CD, but I feel something strange when I hear this CD, I know that Kaiser Chiefs is a great band, but this CD is some strange for me. Start the Revolution Without Me is good.

    Even reduced to a proper ten songs, Revolution is still a bit front-loaded, if only because the band will never be as adept at slow atmosphere as they are upbeat rock.

    Alternately suffers and benefits from "too many cooks" syndrome. [March 2012, p.77]

    [The album presents a] well-formed, poppy and updated take on their post-punk and new-wave heroes. [No. 85, p. 56]
