Yours Truly, Angry Mob is the second album by English rock band Kaiser Chiefs. It was released in February 2007 in the United Kingdom and Europe, and will be released in late March in North America. The album was preceded by the release of lead single "Ruby" on 19 February (see 2007 in British music).[1][2][3] It became the Kaiser Chiefs first (and to date, only) number one album in the British album charts.

Once again produced by Stephen Street, producer of the band's debut album Employment, Yours Truly, Angry Mob is lyrically darker and more socially aware than its precedessor, with tracks dealing with street crime, violence, fame, and the inaccuracy of tabloid articles.

The band had earlier revealed to NME in October 2006 that they had recorded 22 songs and hoped to whittle that number down to 13 or 14 for the final album.[4] Additionally, in July 2006 the band revealed to Gigwise that they'd hoped to have the album released by Valentine's Day 2007.[5] The album was leaked in its entirety on February 21, 2007.
