Kaiser Chiefs "Start The Revolution WIthout Me"

I must say that the history of this album is interesting. Events occur in cycles, and every couple decades something old becomes “vintage.” The Future is Medievil follows that belief by recalling sounds of the past and making them sound fresh and exciting. Originally sold on their website, fans could choose ten of the twenty-three tracks available on the deluxe digital version of the album; the personalization makes it real intriguing. Then, it went for sale in shops on the twenty seventh of June, and that was before it was re-issued in North America in 2012 proclaiming to Start The Revolution Without Me with a new recording and a different track listing from the original pressing.  You might experience a few “Little Shocks” when listening to this record, but it’s worth it. The harmonies, triangle, that hip-hop beat, and that synth really has my memory “On The Run,” as it can be compared to a hamster stuck running on a wheel, and no animals were harmed during this commentary despite the hook. The rhythm started out, but then “I Heard it Break.”  I didn’t sprain an ear muscle, despite the change, because what followed came out swinging (slower, but filled background bass and some island instrumentals). You seem to enjoy the surf-rock aesthetic, or maybe you hate it and find it a despondent disenchantment. What do you like? I wanna see what “Kinda Girl You Are.” The song “Starts with Nothing” in the lyrical department, and the rhythm is ok, but after that instrumental break around 2:30 there seems to be more distortion, instrumentals, sfx present. Even though there aren’t many lyrics, they touch on a huge concept (the life cycle : “it starts with nothing/And it ends in nothing”). The song does work very well on a conceptual level. I like the jazzy piano of the next song; you can hear the influence of the Beatles in the harmonies and the song’s construction. “When All Is Quiet” will you think about what I said? If I had a “Cousin in The Bronx,” and he was as cool as this one I don’t know what I would do. I might start the revolution without him, or just marvel at the variety of subtle styles and instrumentals integrated in this song. If you are not pleased with this record, and wish it sounded like previous ones, I don’t know what to say, but haven’t you heard that “Things Change,” and that the latter is the only thing that is constant? I hear a little Depeche Mode in this song, at least when they sing the namesake, or am I wrong? How will I describe this song? Oh, “Problem Solved!” It is a liar! That organ tricks you into thinking it is something it’s not. It is a dancer! Robert Smith??? I’m not afraid to admit it, but “I Can’t Mind My Own Business.” I really enjoy this song and its slow groovy rhythm that seems to spin me round (like a record) in a modern update filled with a super-duper solo and a killer climax. “Child of Jago” was probably what inspired the original title of the album, but the song itself did not inspire much else; despite the interesting lyrics.The final song is an acoustic guitar-led wonder; assisted by strings that instigate a reference to Lennon. I can be off-point in my references, but “If You Will Have Me” I will be willing to continue writing these. I did like all of their previous records very much, but I found this one to be the most interesting to me, and out of twenty three tracks they performed wonders piecing this intriguing audio anagram in the correct manner; I suggest you listen to the whole album, or all of the tracks on this release.  I will review the other ten tracks in another entry...eventually.
