Amazon.co.uk Review
After cockily shrugging off the difficult second album challenge with their hugely successful Yours Truly, Angry Mob, the Kaisers deliver yet another collection of blistering rock-pop in the shape of Off with Their Head. Producer Mark Ronson returns the band to the distilled pop potency of 2005's Employment as well as providing an all-star cast of guests: Lily Allen provides backing vocals on "Always Happens Like That", classical starlet David Arnold adds strings to "Like It Too Much" and UK grime aficionado Sway does a star turn on the unlikely yet winning "Half the Truth". Yet this is definitely the Kaiser's own show, as evinced on the wonderfully woozy "Tomato in the Rain," the catchy "Good Days, Bad Days", the feisty "You Want History" and the lovely--and somewhat surprising--finale "Remember You're a Girl". Musically, Off with Their Heads ain't rocket science, and the band's insights into contemporary urban life are superficial at best--but the Kaisers still manage to mostly hit the spot. --Danny McKenna

1 out of 5 stars A very disappointing birthday present   November 18, 2008

Having listened to the Album at least four times to see if the Album would grow on me I have to say this is a very poor collection of tracks.

It fealt as if the Kaiser Chiefs had taken all the tracks they had previously rejected for Albums and thrown them together.

Incredibly disappointing I will not be buying any future albums.

To anyone considering buying this Album from the Kaiser Chiefs, In my opinion I would certain say Yes! buy this album.

The first track in my opinion isn't very good - this is Spanish Metal, However after this track the Album sky rockets in quality.

Tracks I think are very good

Never Miss A Beat, Like It Too Much, You Want History, Can't Say What I Mean, Half the Truth and Addicted to Drugs, the other tracks on the album which are still good but these songs stick out to me.

This album really continues the Kaisers cool style and I would really recommend to any Kaiser fan already and to anybody who hasn't heard them before to buy this album - but I suggest that you get their 2 other albums as well.

I was a fan of the first two albums - although let me qualify that - I think the singles were really strong and the rest of the albums were disappointing with the songs little better than album fillers. This, their third album comes nowehere near hitting the heights of the first two and there is no one song that is a patch on the likes of Ruby, I Predict A Riot or Everyday I Love You Less & Less. One for die hard fans only and unlikely to win them many new ones...

Great album!
Particularly Love 'Good Days Bad Days' and 'Remember You're a Girl'


4 out of 5 stars A good solid album   November 6, 2008

I find the Kaiser Chiefs' to be very infectious though the quirky vocals set to a strong mod-like beat, which on 'Off With Their Heads' adds an even stronger drum presence than the last 2 albums.The lyrics are definitely 'out there' at times which adds to the appeal. Some really good songs here and well worth buying.
