• Review Excerpts

  • "Off With Their Heads is great British pop in the dynamic lethal-irony tradition of the mid-Sixties Kinks, the early Jam and, with that vintage-New Wave tone of Nick Baines' keyboards, XTC's 1979 album, Drums and Wires". - Rolling Stone

  • "Off With Their Heads is Kaiser Chiefs discovering a sense of adventure. 'Like it Too Much' twins gothic synths with symphonic brush-strokes courtesy of Bond arranger David Arnold, while 'Half the Truth' mixes psychedelic organ with rapper Sway – an improbable combination but one they pull off, just. There's more experimentalism on 'Addicted to Drugs', which fuses verses that recall Big Audio Dynamite's 'Medicine Show' to a chorus that paraphrases Robert Palmer's 'Addicted to Love'". - Guardian
