The Bravery vs. Kaiser Chiefs (soundtrack, lead singer, indie, pop)

Supersonic · 04-18-2005, 05:29 PM

I quite like both, but neither are outstanding or will break into the mainstream like Franz did last year, simply because their albums just aren't that good!

Both have a few good tracks, but as a whole I don't find either album particularly compelling or feel the need to listen to the whole thing through.

Probably prefer the Bravery out of the two, they're just a bit different to everything else about at the moment.

Their lead singer is a bit of a nob mind.

i havent heard the kaiser chiefs album, the bravery one is ok, but only a few tracks hit me to be honest.

I actually do find the Kaiser Chiefs a bit annoying at times.

Both seem okish. I prefer The Bravery from that one song I heard.

Sneer · 04-24-2005, 09:39 AM

sons and daughters blow them both out of the water at the moment. damn adeles fiiiiiiiine.

Woo. Sons and Daughters, what a great band. The song Johnny Cash is great.
I prefer The Bravery to The Kaiser Cheifs, I am unsure why. Maybe it is because i am shallow and think Sam Endicott is better looking that Ricky Wilson.

maybe over there, certainly not in the states. I'd say I live in an openminded place, and the only other slot they might be mainstream in is California, but I think the rest of the US has no idea.

i would of thought the bravery had gained recognition in their home nation. yup both huge over here atm.

The Chiefs - all the way, although I think they'll probably aspire to more of an honorary 'Dogs Die In Hot Cars'-hood.
'Oh My God' was on BBC radio6 music's playlist for a few weeks like about 8 months before it's release -I was going mad waiting for a copy of it the whole time . . . =o[

To be honest, haven't heard so much of The Bravery, but not terribly impressed with them so far - reckon they aren't really looking for old crusties like me for fans anyhoo, but I reckon they have quite a bit of catching up to do on Franz F and their charming schoolboy-esque pop theatricality (awwww - bless!)

Looking forward to seeing the Kaiser Chiefs at Glastonbury Festival this year - pretty keen to see The Killers there too, seeing as they're on the bill: 'All these things I've done' is like the single most holistically perfect piece of proper rock 'n'roll released for years IMhO, and I can't believe it wasn't a bigger hit than it was - strange, all the other singles released from Hot Fuss are pretty damned good too, but sound so much more like a British indie act than an American outfit.
