Released on August 20th, 2007, "The Angry Mob" is the 3rd single
of the Kaiser Chiefs 2nd album "Yours Truly, Angry Mob".
This song is one of the most powerful tunes of the band, with its
ominous and rebellious last chorus; often used as the closing song
before encore, it goes above and above in loudness.
