Yours Truly Angry Mob [Deluxe Edition CD/DVD Combo]

Yours Truly Angry Mob [Deluxe Edition CD/DVD Combo]
Yours Truly, Angry Mob is the Kaiser Chiefs's brilliant follow-up to their debut, Employment.

Kaiser Chiefs were one the great musical success stories of 2005. Fast forward to 2007 and Kaiser Chiefs (Ricky Wilson - lead vocals), Andrew "Whitey" White (guitar), Simon Rix (bass), Nick "Peanut" Baines (keyboards) and Nick Hodgson (drums and vocals) are about to unveil their much anticipated second album.

Yours Truly, Angry Mob wields its musical might from the start in the shape of "Ruby" - an infectious single to rival anything the band have done before. "Angry Mob", a favorite from the band's European festival appearances last year is destined to be a universal fan favorite. "Heat Dies Down" will surely have 'em pogoing in the aisles en masse, while the stunning "Everything Is Average Nowadays" is perhaps the thread linking Yours Truly... with its predecessor. Yours Truly, Angry Mob, as one band member has been heard to utter, "is an album full of big choruses and even bigger guitars". Maybe so. It's also the work of a band hitting their creative stride. All hail the Chiefs!

Deluxe Version Includes: Hard Back Digipak with 24 page booklet DVD containing 6 live tracks recorded in Berlin last year. 10 minute documentary on the recording of Yours Truly, Angry Mob. Audio CD (same track listing as regular version)

Summary: A mild disappointment from "Employment"
Comment: Okay, so when I heard Employment I was hooked from the very first listen. This record has some of its qualities but what got me into it was the urgency and its resonated energy from beginning to end. It's an excellent debut record and one of the finest releases of its respective year.

This on the other hand is sadly pretty mediocre. It isn't that bad, but the energy seems kind of tired by comparison. I usually try not to jump on the sophomore slump bandwagon, and in fact I'll give them antoher chance. To see that I don't view them as a one-album wonder like on this what made me skeptical. Sometimes the songs are actually decent but not that fun to listen to. And that's what matters to me. "Ruby" is great and there's some other good moments like "Heat Dies Down" but for the most part you can't help but feel they could have put more life into this record.

Definitely not one of my favorites this year but nothing too terrible.

Summary: Not the best
Comment: Except for the single "Ruby" really nothing else on this album rocks that good. When listening through the album the sound starts getting a bit boring. If you are purchasing this album based on "Ruby" you might be better off just getting the single. If you are a Kaiser Cheifs fan then you'll probably like the album but not really love it.

Summary: fatevi legare
Comment: ...come ulisse quando incontrò le sirene, fatevi legare stretti alla sedia! non riuscireste altrimenti a stare fermi durante l'ascolto di questo cd, che mette addosso voglia di saltare ballare e scuotere la testa, inseguiti da chitarre e bassi ossessionanti. Una seconda prova migliore senza dubbio, più continua e matura, della prima.

Summary: very pleasantly surprised
Comment: I took a risk and bought this album because of the song "Ruby". The entire album turned out to be very good, and I'm quite happy with it. Good catchy songs throughout. Do many people today buy entire albums, instead of just downloading one or two songs from a band? Probably not, and it's a shame. I recommend the album.

Summary: radio friendly
Comment: It is exactly the words radio friendly in amazon's little review that make me flinch. KS have turned into a pop band and they play songs that are nice, but just a little heavier than your average boyband. Too much Kinks, too much other (better) Britpop bands and even Spinal Tap.

Over the top, just not very good.
