The Chaos is the fourth album by English post-punk revival band The Futureheads. It was released on 26 April 2010. The album is the band's second on their label Nul Records, and was preceded by a download-only single, 'Struck Dumb', on 2 December 2009.
The track 'Struck Dumb', an example of the band's "classic angular guitar-rock", has been described as "a blast of pop-punk energy". As Phil Mongredien of Q magazine put it, though, in The Chaos, as in This Is Not the World, the emphasis is "on the big radio-friendly choruses, four-part choruses given a euphoric dimensions to their punk-influenced sound, with less of the earlier complex angularity".
HMV exclusive bonus tracks
On both the normal version and the HMV version, there is a hidden track, "Living On Light", placed after the end of the final track on each release.
