Education, Education, Education & War - The Kaiser Chiefs

I am reviewing the alternative music album Education, Education, Education & War by The Kaiser Chiefs which is an excellent album. The Kaiser Chiefs were formed in 2000 in Leeds, England and are an alternative music band. This album was a recent number 1 in Britain. The title comes from a comment ex prime minister of Britain, Tony Blair that there were 3 things that mattered to his government, Education, Education & Education. Of course Tony Blair also led Britain into various wars. There best track on the album is Cannons which I am sure will be a successful single. The Kaiser Chiefs are more of an album band than a singles group although they did have a number 1 single with Ruby, & I Predict A Riot was a huge hit. They are influenced by rock and punk mostly. At one stage they were bigger abroad than in Britain. When they did become successful in Britain they won 3 Brit Awards including Best Group. There drummer left the group and was replaced in 2012 and this was the first album featuring the replacement. I must admit I don't normally follow this groups music but was pleasantly surprised by this album.
