    An album full of jukebox hits. [Mar 2007, p.98]

    Yours Truly, Angry Mob is one of the catchier guitar records you'll hear all year... But the Kaiser Chiefs can also be a little shallow.

    The sad thing is that while nobody expects Kaiser Chiefs to be re-inventing the wheel, we do expect a pretty rock-solid, perfect pop record. Yours Truly, Angry Mob most definitely isn't rock solid or perfect in any sense.

    Brilliant album. Great follow up. A real grower and as good as if not better than Employment.

    Ruby has got to be one of the weakest tracks I've heard in a while. This band has potential but they still haven't achieved it.

    With the title track and Ruby the only redeeming features, this album disappointed me.
