Kaiser Chiefs - Your's Truly Angry Mob - 2007

After their glorious debut, the Kaiser Chiefs followed it with a skillful and solid sophomore release.  Even though it wasn't as slammin' as their first.  Starting with the strong Ruby single, the album really doesn't disappoint.  It's a nice slice of British Pop/Rock.  They do show some maturity here, and it isn't as carefree and wild as their previous, but it holds it's own with strong pop hooks and melodies.  To me, the only "anthem" track would be Ruby, and that isn't anywhere close to I Predict A Riot.  I still like it a lot, and adds another great album to a list of incredible albums from England around that time...


Monday begins a new theme week here on AtAIML.  There have been SOOOOO many albums that I've wanted to post, but there was already a deluxe version out there.  I couldn't best them, they were a perfect set.  That being said, Monday begins....
One week of albums that have already been given that special treatment that they deserve.  There are quite a few choice nuggets that I'm sure you will enjoy.

Following that, the Monday after, will begin another themed week, back-to-back.  That theme week will be called....
This will be for all of those albums that I'd love to post, but they don't have any additional material that I can add.  These albums deserve some attention, even though I don't have anything more to make them extra AtAIML special.

Anyway, stay tuned and have a great Saturday!

Kaiser Chiefs - Lap Of Honour - 2004

My second "B-Sides Compilation" comes from the beloved Kaiser Chiefs.  They already have a b-side set called Lap of Honour, but it didn't have all of them on there.  I added the additional b-sides and several of the remixes from their first album.

I fell in love with Kaiser Chiefs with the Na Na Na Naaaaa  song way back when it was a track off of the NME Sampler disc in 2004.  That disc introduced me to about 5 bands I didn't know and found out I loved.  KC was the biggest of them, though.  Their best song is I Predict A Riot, which I can only imagine what it would be like live to here them play.  What an anthem rocker.

Their b-sides are meh, some are okay, some are not.  This is mainly to complete the set from their first album.  I also through in their pre-Kaiser songs as well.  Maybe you should put this one in FRONT of their first album...  I don't know, you decide.
