Amazon.co.uk Review
On IEmployment/I, raffish, trilby-clad young Leeds quintet Kaiser Chiefs prove themselves the logical heirs to the Britpop throne previously warmed by the likes of Blur and Supergrass, twinning expectant verses with rollicking choruses and generally acting very much like indie-rock's latest swaggering young Jack the Lads. pThere's no doubt, the Kaisers know their rock history: "Oh My God" and "Every Day I Love You Less and Less" barrel along with something of Madness' playful charm, while "You Can Have It All" and the lush "Caroline, Yes" appear to be conscious nods to the sleepy, harmony-laden Californian pop vision of Brian Wilson. The lyrics of frontman Ricky Wilson, however, are rooted in a very English sensibility--one often traditional and occasionally, bizarrely archaic: "Walking through town is quite scary/ It's not very pretty, I tell thee," he gasps on adrenaline-fuelled urban nightmare "I Predict A Riot". It's the sort of pleasingly unusual idiosyncrasy that sees IEmployment/I stand out from the fashionable indie pack, and assuming the Chiefs can continue to keep their foibles the right side of irksome, any attitude is thoroughly justified. I--Louis Pattison/I

 A Great Mix August 11, 2005

A had visions of this album being a rip roaring 100mph stomper but there is actually a real mix of styles. You get the punk stompers (everyday I Love You Less and Less I Predict A Riot)to the 60's melodic ( Modern Way) to the 70's glam ( Na Na Na Na Naa). It works really well like a musical box of chocs.

This album sets itself apart from the rest by simply being different. The music is strangely familiar even if you've never heard it before. It's great to listen to any time of day or night. Its listening at its best. All the tracks have a distinctive tune to them and they vary enormously (not a bad thing, mind). Although they are a relatively new band they have definitly gained status with this album. We'll definitly hear more of them in the future ;-)

Gosh, music's been great of late, hasn't it? The Killers, Franz Ferdinand, Kasabian, The Futureheads, Razorlight, The Postal Service (DO give them a listen), and Kaiser Chiefs. I've been existing in a deluge of new and brilliant tunes, and I'm liking it. pThis album's probably my favourite since The Killers' Hot Fuss last year. All that needs be said is this: it's a superb collection of great, infectious tunes, great music and great lyrics. I love it. "Oh My God" should find its niche as the wonderful anthem it is, and is probably my favourite of the album. "Modern way", "I Predict a Riot" and "Everyday I Love You Less and Less", though, also make for absolutely great listening. You won't regret buying this.

The Kaisers are a cut above the rest of the much hyped new wave of britpop along with other such stand out acts as Vloc Party. But while the latter seem to take themselves a bit too seriously, the Kaiser Chiefs seem anything but. This an album thatr really sounds like a band that is simply out there to have fun. If anyone has seen their live show they will know just how energetic it can get... and the album reflects the sheer exuberant energy of this band. Particular highlights are Oh My God, I Predict A Riot and my personal favourite Every Day I Love You Less And Less. A great buy. Purchase with confidence!
