The Chaos is the fourth album by English post-punk revival band The Futureheads. It was released on 26 April 2010. ^{[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]
