Yes, pretty good album but not that groundbreaking. I predict a riot is quality. Not up there with Bloc Party but still a decent band.


Title: Kaiser Chiefs
Post by: Boeta on Monday, March 7, 2005, 17:35:57
I prefer them to Bloc Party to be honest


Title: Kaiser Chiefs
Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Monday, March 7, 2005, 17:37:52
Bloc Party every track is immense, Kaiser Chiefs some of them are a bit dull, I'm listening to it now, Modern Way and Na Na Na Na Naa are a bit average.

bloc party aren't ground breaking, but they're a bit different and i think they're quite original. you can hear their influences in their music quite clearly, but you know it's not a rip off. plus kele is great.

i wouldnt say they are totally amazing! i just think they are one of the best new bands to emerge from this country for a few years now


Title: Kaiser Chiefs
Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Wednesday, March 9, 2005, 11:35:07
Definitely one of the best bands for a while . They remind me of Joy Division, At the drive-in, the Pixies and a bit of Fugazi but all on diferent songs and they seem to effortlessly blend them all to create what ever they want and it's always quality.
 
There aren't many bands like them around at the moment.


Title: Kaiser Chiefs
Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Wednesday, March 9, 2005, 11:38:45
i agree we should celebrate the fact that a band like this doesnt come around very often  :beers

I was disappointed by Bloc Party... Not really absorbed all of their songs yet.

The one I've heard a couple of times sounds very Smiths/Morrissey.


Title: Kaiser Chiefs
Post by: sonicyouth on Wednesday, March 9, 2005, 18:14:46
Bloc Party sound as much like The Smiths as Anal Cunt sound like Celine Dion.

Just my opinion on one song I've heard... That's all.

I am planning to go on a cd buying spree shortly as the last cd I bought was American Idiot by Green Day!! (Which is still superb)

Thinking of buying new albums by Kaiser Chiefs, Bloc Party, Engineers and Idlewild, any comments? (sensible preferably!!)

Listening to The new Doves album at the mo (copied by my old man), pretty good IMHO


Title: Kaiser Chiefs
Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, March 10, 2005, 02:34:14
depends how many albums you can purchase. if 2 i'd go for kaiser chiefs and bloc party


Title: Kaiser Chiefs
Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Thursday, March 10, 2005, 11:25:32
yeah i would to. but idlewild aint bad so you mgiht as well get that to if you can afford it?

Got the Kaiser Chiefs album today, now on my fourth listen and love it. Of the 12 tracks I'd say only two are a bit lame.

'Modern Way', 'I predict a riot' and 'Oh my God' being particular standouts for me.

Overall a cracking swipe at modern day society and a very 'London sounding' band, despite being from Leeds.

I've only heard one Bloc Party track so couldn't really compare.

Post by: Bob's Orange on Monday, April 18, 2005, 19:08:41
I ended up buying Kaiser Chiefs, The Bravery and Idlewild. All are very good IMHO.

Thinking of getting Bloc Party (heard mixed thoughts about them though) and British Sea Power next.

sucky??

The first album was crap IMO but the new album got good review, even in the Metro which rarely gives good reviews.

the bloc party album kinda drops off towards the end.

'like eating glass' is fantastic though, i've listened to it about 6 times already today

Like eating glass, positive tension and helicopter are all superb but I also really like Little Thoughts, Luno and So here we are. I don't think there's one bad track on there, unlike the kaiser chiefs album which has 3 or 4 great songs and the rest nothing special.

Got to listen to it as loud as possible to fully appreciate it.
