Kaiser Chiefs
"Modern Way"

Home >> Reviews >> Singles / 2005

Released: 7th November 2005.

They may not have won the Mercury Music Prize, but the Kaiser Chiefs are here to prove they're still going strong with the brilliant "Modern Way", the final single from their huge selling "Employment" album. At first, the song can seem a disappointment, as it is very similar to "I Predict A Riot". However, with the band's trademark harmonies and a big, catchy chorus, a Top 20 hit is obvious, and it should end their most successful year perfectly.

(Dave Kirkham)

From their "Employment" album, the Kaisers show they have a different side on "Modern Way. It's their strongest single to date, in part because it's more meaningful than their previous material. The song is cleverly written, both lyrically and musically, and manages to preserve their electronic influences.
