I was pleasantly surprised by the Kaiser Chiefs album, which I
expected to be the great single "I Predict A Riot" (which is getting
pretty much hourly airplay on WFNX here in Boston) and a lot of
filler, but it's the strongest album I've heard in the style since
Franz Ferdinand and Dogs Die In Hot Cars. I predict that many
Auditeers will be reflexively hating on the Kaiser Chiefs (the old
"oh, it's on the radio, it must suck" routine) by Memorial Day at
least.
