Off With Their Heads

Kaiser Chiefs have sold millions of records. If you're reading this from the U.S., you might not realize that, even though the group has moved a relatively impressive number of albums in America as well. Stuff that sounds this British usually winds up in the "cult" file over here though, and the Kaisers have been no exception. Off With Their Heads is the Leeds quintet's third LP, and although it isn't poised to break the UK group out of Keane/Snow Patrol territory-- let alone Coldplay or Gorillaz-- it recaptures some of the ebullience of their 2005 debut, Employment, after the darker cynicism of the follow-up, Yours Truly, Angry Mob.
