Where this album fits

Career context
By the time 'The Future Is Medieval' was released in 2011, Kaiser Chiefs were navigating a transitional phase following their commercially successful debut album 'Employment' (2005) and its follow-up 'Yours Truly, Angry Mob' (2007). This album marked their fourth studio release and showcased a shift towards a more experimental sound as they sought to redefine their identity in the post-Britpop landscape.
