10. Start The Revolution Without Me, 2012

“What I love truly from this Kind of músic and style is that their performers have greatest success not as a primary and bàsic project. And there is good músic and good arrangements, often chances for guitars.”

9. 22, 2002

“Of course, not all the songs are equally as memorable. But having thoroughly expected this album to be three hits plus eight filler, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the whole album from beginning to end.”

8. Souvenir: The Singles 2004-2012, 2012

“Now, I have to admit that I really made Ricky Wilson’s acquaintance on “The Voice” and loved “I predict a riot” which was part of the introductory music on some of the early episodes. I had heard of the Kaiser Chiefs but would not have been able to name any of their hits. So for me this album was a revelation. Great intelligent songs, catchy rock pop, a bit redolent of Squeeze and Madness and the Peppers but original and really worth listening to.”

7. Stay Together, 2016

“This is a new side to Kaiser Chiefs! The music takes the spotlight in this album with the lyrics taking a back seat. It’s a little 70s and early 80s inspired, and there are no bad songs. This album shows off their talent and is an instant favorite in my music library!”

6. Duck, 2019

“Pretty decent album and a somewhat catchy set of songs. There are lots of singalong choruses and plenty of foot tappers from beginning to end. The whole record flows along really nicely, and there is nothing on here that I would skip or choose not to listen to. The track “Target Market” is the one that really stands out for me, and should be an obvious single.”

5. The Future Is Medieval, 2011

“Credit must go to Kaiser Chiefs for making it to their fourth album despite a continuous decline in support/interest. The way this album was originally marketed was a desperate tactic to win some cudos, a publicity stunt to gain some momentum but very soon after followed this traditional CD release. In fact the CD followed so quickly that the web download idea was swiftly made redundant.”

4. Education, Education, Education & War, 2014

“Kaiser Chiefs really managed to surprise me here. I haven’t followed them that much for a while, but I recalled them leaning slightly more towards rock (maybe even some garage like rock). What they sound like now is a nice blend of stadium rock elements, with some cheesy pop elements thrown in. And much to my joy they also have a bunch of new waveish synths on to the material, and the whole vocal part is also pretty much following a post-punk new wavelike way of singing now. There are some Kaiser Chiefs “trademark” elements to the music still around, but this band has managed to be rather innovative for the soundscape here. This probably means I need to check some of their other “more recent” albums out. Anyhow, I enjoyed this album rather much, and like the way things have evolved.”

3. Off With Their Heads, 2008

“Ditching Stephen Street for Mark Ronson on their third album, Off With Their Heads sees the Chiefs at their most musically tight. They are still a wandering museum of british music tropes, but given Marks pendant for warm basslines, crisp drums and silky smooth harmonies the band sounds better than ever, laying down some of their finest songwriting and melodies. “

2. Yours Truly, Angry Mob, 2007

“Yours Truly, Angry Mob sees the Chiefs push their gigantic hodgepodge of british music tropes into the realms of Garage Rock more to great success. The arrangements are sharper, the melodies are catchier, and if it wasn’t for the fact that Rickys lyrics try their absolute hardest to appeal to every last Brit imaginable, this would have been fantastic. Still, it’s all around a very fun listen and definitely holds up a little bit better than their debut album. Also peep the very not subtle reference to Paint it Black on this album, which I’m not gonna spoil, because they open up a song with it and it’s instantly recognizable. Wonderful.”

1. Employment, 2005

“This album was amazing! Its just one of those albums where just about every song is real good and it stays in the stereo for about a month cos you’re in love with it so much. I really recommend them if you like post-punk music. The last 3 songs weren’t as great but still loved this album. “
