    Sorry, I don't get this band AT ALL. Most of their lyrics bleat on and on about how they're not pleased with whatever subject they lower themselves to write about. And the music is as boring as it gets. I don't see what all the fuss is about. Finally, where'd they get that stupid name???

    When I first listened to "I predict a riot" I didn't even want to listen to the rest. Too poppy and cheesey.

    [Kaiser Chiefs] are smug, preening and shallow, and so eager to entertain that they nearly piss themselves with pizzazz and energy. [Apr 2005, p.119]

    A gem. [Apr 2005, p.105]

    Employment is thrilling from beginning to end, packing in 45-minutes of exuberant Britpop melodies, na-na-na choruses and buzzsaw guitars that make Franz Ferdinand look like a bunch of stiffs.
