Kaiser Chiefs - Yours Truly, Angry Mob
Reviewed by margaret
Ah the sophomore record. I’ve said it a million times…It’s a tricky thing. But the most acclaimed British band in recent years, Kaiser Chiefs, handle the whole thing with great aplomb. Yours Truly Angry Mob is, in short, fucking brilliant! My personal favorites are the sardonic yet haunting “Love’s Not a Competition (But I’m Winning),” quirky, driving “Retirement,” which closes the album on a perfect note, and "Learnt My Lesson Well" with its clever line "It's just seven days / And feels like a week." Overall, this album is much more polished and cohesive than the first while still retaining the flavor that have made them tops on the British scene of late. And you’ll get no complaints from me.
