Oooooooh: New Kaisers album

Kaiser Chiefs have announced the completion of the follow-up to 2005 album Employment, with a release date scheduled for February.

The record, which remains nameless, will be preceded by new single 'Ruby'; available for download from February 12th and then on physical formats from the 19th.

The band are also expected to announce a string of UK shows to support the birth of an album that looks set to make or break them.

So they'd better have something to show for all that time saved flogging the same, tired song for the last two years.

:)

I may have been wrong about everything else in my life but I'm right about this

you're likely to get this one wrong too.

picture annoys me as much as the bad news.

You can't have a Kaiser Chiefs article on here without fitting in a "we started it" bit, surely? That's the rules!

I was hoping from your headline that the album was going to be called "Oooooooh" - that would have been funny.

This band, though, are a classic example of how the mass of opinion seems to have changed for no better reason than "they got popular". They're pop music. They entertain. Their frontman jumps up and down, encourages audience participation and cares whether you're enjoying the show or not. I like them.

I have no problems with bands getting big

and if their show in Paris last month was anything to go by the new material is heavier, but just as infectious. I know most people on this board will hate to hear it, but Ruby was the standout of the new ones and I'd hedge bets will be the song to propel the band to mega status. they're still as entertaining as ever live. long live the Kaisers. they're so much better than a load of the other mainstream indie rubbish around.

Because they have lyrics like "watching the people get lary, it's not very pretty I tell thee" (sorry if it's not spot on but thats the jist) a fucking five year old could write better lyrics, plus his voice is irritating the drummer looks like a dated 80 year old britpop fan from the early nineties and well the list goes on to be honest, what would be better would be if someone could pinpoint whats good about them!? and don't you dare try to tell me they are just good pop songs! just because most of the nation are idiots and like whatever's popular according to the adverts on tv or mainstream radio like Edith I like anything remotely bland bowman doesn't mean it's good it just means it's catchy, and catchy ain't always good!!! HIV is catchy!

dont make music

the worst news since the birth of the members of Kaiser Chiefs.

music without lyrics.

oh, wait...

But i can't remember what they sound like.

If it annoys you, stop inflicting this stuff on yourself.

but there we go, at least they have to die one day also.

Radio 1 are to blame for me hating a lot of bands I used to like.
Pity there is little alternative to Radio 1. Commercial radio sucks just as bad in Glasgow (and most other regions).

Britney and Christina should both grow massive Lord of the Rings style beards.

so your opinion is not really valid

Ricky Wilson and the rest of the Chiefs should proceed to get knocked up by some redneck fame-obsessed back-up dancer.

Hahahaha!

Pretty funny huh? I only signed up to DiS to leave this comment. It's the first time I've ever thought of something funny to say.

Don't listen to Radio 1.

And God said "Let there be 6!", and there was 6, and you could listen to Lammo every day. Hooray!

You bunch of grumpy bastards.

is by far their best song so far, maybe a sign of progression? Still think they have an awful lot to make up for though, after their first effort...

Looking forward to recieving this Album. I hope it's good and goes on sell a lot of copies. It's all Art baaaaby!! and Art is good for us, innit....
