Kaiser Chiefs Say Build Your Own Album

10 songs, 7 and a half pounds, and you're the producer. This is kind of ingenious now isn't it. Britpop rockers the Kaiser Chiefs have found yet another new way of letting the fan choose exactly what they want their album to be. They've got twenty songs available on their website right now under the create an album icon. You get to pick your favorite ten songs (what ever order you like) and create your own album. They take it a step forward and you can even create your own album artwork. Is this because they couldn't decide what songs would make the final cut of their fourth album "The Future Is Medieval"? Is this a way to avoid bad reviews from critics because there is no way in pinpointing what the album was intended to be? Who cares. This is more fun than building a sandwich at Subway. And for 7.50 pounds (roughly $12.60 American dollars) you can have a new album...and your Oz! The names of the tracks are listed below along with a link that curiously has
different items on two shelves designating each song to choose. Play a snippet to listen and get the song title, plug it in and then create your album.

If you want all twenty songs, create two full albums like my brother did. If you can't choose an order, buy someone else's creation. My brother has two under the name adrock (one cover has a taxi, the other a bunch of items). And if I'm correct for each album you create, if it's purchased by someone else...you get a pound. Purchase an album by the Alzheimer's society and that money all goes to charity.
