在继去年年初的那张热卖专辑《Yours Truly, Angry Mob》后，新专辑如期而至。在这一年多的时间，借着专辑大卖人气蹿升，Kaiser Chiefs乐队的巡演几乎场场爆满，主唱Ricky Wilson现场夸张的台风更是独树一帜。他们成了Franz Ferdinand之后又一支能捕获了大多数乐迷芳心的乐队。 　　“怪异、新鲜、极端”是乐队新专辑的宣传语，在令人好奇不解的同时，又给大家些许期待。但早在07年末的几场演唱会上，他们就演奏了新专辑的《Never Miss a Beat》和《You Want History》。作为首发单曲《Never Miss a Beat》是一首很“Kaiser Chiefs式”的歌曲，歌词上的肤浅对于整首歌曲影响不大，虽没有去年的《Ruby》来的那样高调和霸道，但是充满节奏与冲劲的曲风让你在听过两三遍后也会跟着唱两句。电子元素大行其道的《You Want History》和有点诡异，复古口味的《Good Days Bad Days》，也算是Kaiser Chiefs的标志性的水平之作。对于他们来说每张专辑都要有一首慢歌用来抒情，这次也不理例外的选择了《Remember You're A Girl》。 　　A mere eighteen months since the release of their second album Yours Truly, Angry Mob, which saw Leeds' Kaiser Chiefs have the best selling UK rock album of last year, they are set to unleash their third long-player. The multi-million selling bands 3rd album, entitled Off With Their Heads, is slated for Stateside release via Universal Motown and was produced in its entirety by Mark Ronson. 　　2008's Producer of the Year Grammy winner, Mark Ronson has worked his magic again. Testing his skill with one of Britain's biggest rock bands, the team has created an impressive synergy and the record bears a more expansive sound of any Kaiser record to date. With backing vocals from Lily Allen and New Young Pony Club, it sees the band add to their ever bulging bag of hit singles. 　　Kicking off with the somewhat incongruous "Spanish Metal" before launching into "Never Miss A Beat" - the first single off the record, the album has a powerful launch. "Like It Too Much" replete with lush orchestral arrangements from Bond & Bjork maestro David Arnold is a rousing classic Kaisers number which sits comfortably alongside the likes of album highlights "You Want History" and "Good Days Bad Days"; the latter underpinned by keyboard arrangements conjuring up New York disco morphed with Talking Heads-like brilliance, whilst in its wake creeps up the Kaiserdelic "Tomato In The Rain," heralded by its Hammond Organ and great lyrics. 　　"Half The Truth" more than nods to the likes of XTC and comes with a contribution from UK grime artist Sway, meanwhile friend and musical ally Lily Allen contributes backing vocals to "Always Happens Like That" before the psychedelic bent continues when drummer Nick Hodgson resumes vocal duties on album closer "Remember You're Girl", sounding like a long lost John Lennon track from the mid-70's. 　　Off With Their Heads was produced by Mark Ronson and Eliot James at RAK and Eastcote Studios in London in the Spring of 2008. It was mixed by Andy Wallace (Nirvana, LCD Soundsystem, Run DMC) at Soundtrack Studios, New York.
