Free Music Review: Surpasses the Greatest of Modern Rock
Hit: 5 Stars
Wow.... This band can be easily compared to as the Beatles: a tight show, very clean, and makes the girls swoon, eh?
Well, Franz outdoes themselves with this anthemic album. People say the 2nd album is the most important, and they keep their place in our hearts with this master piece.
The opening track: "Fallen" is my absolute favorite Franz Ferdinand song. It's anthemic, bawdy, and a hell of a lot of fun to sing along to. Oh, did I mention that it makes a good point by saying that "The fallen are the virtuous among us"? Well, It does. This is a great song, but doesn't hold it's own as a single.
Then we have an actual single: "Do You Want To", though the lyrics are sexually suggestive, overall this is a very good.... yet catchy... song. Makes an awesome single... Plus the video is great.
The following song is also good, but not as good as the preceding two.
"Walk Away" is the album's 2nd single, and a very good one at that. Catchy, pointless, and again, a hell of a lot of fun to play airguitar to. A good song overall.
The rest of the album speaks for itself. It's not worth mentioning, so I'd suggest that if you don't want to buy it all, go to iTunes and purchase at least "The Fallen," "Do You Want To," "This Boy," "Walk Away," "What You Meant," and "Outsiders." Those would be the best, but there's not a bad song on this album. Very good overall.
You Could Have It So Much Better Poster
Franz Ferdinand's eagerly-awaited second album You Could Have It So Much Better. Co-produced by the band and Rich Costey, and recorded in both rural Scotland and at Avatar Studios in NYC, the album features 13 brand new tracks including 'Do You Want To'. Sony. 2005.After more than a year spent on the road behind their breakthrough self-titled debut--just how many times can Alex Kapranos sing "Take Me Out" without getting his skinny tie into a knot, anyway?--you might expect the members of Franz Ferdinand to feel a little frayed around the edges. But if You Could Have It So Much Better was supposed to be a bloated sophomore album focusing on bad airline meals and cold hotel swimming pools, somebody forgot to tell the Mercury Music Prize winning Scottish quartet. Instead, the Franzies return with a disc packed with thrilling punk-pop treatises like the single "Do You Want To," political rabble-rousers such as opener "The Fallen," and lovely psychedelic ballads that explore the common ground between the Beatles and Bowie, like "Eleanor Put You Boots On" (about Eleanor Freidberger of the Fiery Furnaces, no less). It's a stunning, confident piece of work that suggests the band is merely getting started. --Aidin Vaziri
