StirlingCOct 30, 2008Why such a poor response from users? It requires a few listens but ultimately this is Kaiser's best album.

SalS.Nov 7, 2008A brilliant album, can't stop listening to it. Like It Too Much, Spanish Metal, Half the Truth and Can't Say What I Mean are classics. Love it!

JayS.Feb 1, 2009really great pop record, by far kaiser chiefs best release so far. "Like It Too Much" is their greatest moment to date.

MickCCDec 6, 2008Have folks totally lost their sense of musicality?? This is another cohesive lp from a phenomenal band w/ something truly intelligent to say. And it says it first w/ the music. I think everyone's ear are tuned down to the monotone crank we are sold and told to like by crunk record companies.

LazarJFeb 2, 2009an very good LP, the music is very energetic, and it just screams awesome not to mention the fact that i can hardly keep sitting still while listening to never miss a beat, this album is definetly a cut above their previus two!

SommerNov 8, 2008As good or better than there previous two albums. A fantastic album.

danc.Aug 25, 2009Really off with their heads is probably the band's most straight forward release yet. 11 tracks across 35 minutes. Whilst it doesn't have an obvious standout like "oh my god" or "ruby" it does provide a great catchy slice of good old British pop music.

RachelADec 31, 2008This album is fantastic. I saw them perform a lot of the songs live and they're even better! There are a couple that I skip, but not many. Overall, a really good album.

DiegoL.Nov 3, 2008Solid effort, certainly more vibrant than the previous album.

C.BJan 16, 2009A proper album by a proper band. Not trying to be anything but good.

Oct 12, 2010lacks the energy of their first release, but a solid pop punk album without a doubt. this record sees the chiefs explore their softer side with slower songs like tomato in the rain and remember your a girl.
-
May 14, 2012Good 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
-
JohnNov 3, 2008Really fun. I have no idea why the rest of the users are giving it such a bad rating. 3.1?!?! Are you kidding me?
-
-
BrianneGNov 18, 2008Maybe it just requires a few more plays, but I'm not feeling this album like the first two. And live, the songs just don't pop the same way. I'm not giving up on them but they're not helping themselves.

Half-knowing, half-full of anthems and lyrically halfway to hell, Off With Their Heads is musically halfway there. Kaisers have barely missed a beat on the highway to massive-dom, but they’re hardly raising our heart rates.

Q MagazineOff With Their Heads affirms the undying pleasures of smart, catchy pop music does well. [Oct 2008, p.137]

Mostly band and producer Mark Ronson have done what both parties needed to do in late 2008: avoid the ordinary and obvious, namely glossy stadium-indie and retro-soul horns respectively, and aim for the extraordinary.
