The Chaos is the fourth album by English post-punk revival band The Futureheads.

[12][13] The album is the band's second on their label Nul Records, and was preceded by a download-only single, 'Struck Dumb',[14][15][16] on 2 December 2009.

[17] The track "Struck Dumb", an example of the band's "classic angular guitar-rock",[18] has been described as "a blast of pop-punk energy".

[16] 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".

[9] 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.
