Best Debue ever, 4 indie rock - By: Stephen J. Charlton, 04 Sep 2008 
i bought this album after i heard 'i predict a riot'. every song is great, & the lyrics. GREAT sound 4 a debue even. i thought this would be crap , but it'sin my top 10 albums of all time now. the album opens with 'everyday i love u less & less' which is one of my favorite tracks of the album. i always listen to my albums either when i'm doing work orin the car & this album worked. If you like the kaiser chiefs or this album u will also like: Franz Ferdinand, Kasabian, the gossip & maybe oasis. check out these bands , their worth checking out. the gossip sounds more like 'take my temp' & 'i predict a riot'. But overall if ur a fan of the kaiser chiefs check out these band (deffo). any way GOOD ALBUM GET IT.
They're a comedy band, right? - By: R. J. Salusbury, 13 Jul 2008 
A quite dreadful album from a truly awful mob. They're a comedy band, right? This album sounds like a Weird Al Yankovic tribute to Franz Ferdinand covering XTC. The fact that there are 108 used & new copies available (at the time of writing) on Amazon Marketplace does suggest that this album does not endure. I saw them about a year ago following a Rufus Wainwright performance on a TV show. The gulfin the quality of music & style (style isn't everything, but it counts for something) was staggering. Avoid.
excellent debut - By: There'd be plenty of stars And not too many, 29 Aug 2007 "Excellent debut album ! favourite tracks...Everyday I Love You Less & Less,I Predict A Riot,Modern Way,You Can Have It All"
A bit Blur-lite - By: Greg Farefield-Rose, 22 Aug 2007 
Watching the TV coverage of the Glastonbury Festivalin 2005, Kaiser Chiefs seemed to be on all the time. I'm not sure how you get your band to be featured but whatever was done, it certainly worked as Employment ended the year as one of the biggest selling albums. But is it any good?
Yes it is good though, to my ears, an inferior more poppy version of Blur circa Park Life without there being a musician as capable of adding something memorable or distinctive to the more average songs as Graham Coxon frequently did for the Essex four-piece. Indeed, you can imagine Blur writing & performing most of the songs on Employment which, not surprisingly, sharesin Stephen Street the same producer as Park Life.
Having said this, there are some very good songs on Employment such as the exciting opener Everyday I Love You Less And Less & I Predict A Riot with its clever, caustic description of the sort of activities which go onin most town centres every Saturday night. Other highlights include Na Na Na Na Naa with its wiggy guitar solo & the pleasing melody & sentiment behind You Can Have It All. The equivalent song to Badhead perhaps...
Employment covers a number of styles though, once again, these are similar forms to those covered by a certain other band. Maybe I'm being a bit harsh as it is a good album, albeit an over-rated one, though hopefully subsequent Kaiser Chief releases will have influences deriving from more than one act.
Great - By: Darkmaster, 06 Aug 2007 
Sorry for the boring title but its all I can think of at the moment. I personally think that Employment is great.
