Product Description
From Amazon.com
Franz Ferdinand is an unrelentingly smart, fluffy, and fun debut. This Scottish four-piece plays vaguely angular, guitar-heavy post-pop that makes you want to dance around the room while playing air guitar. It's the ideal hipster guilty-pleasure music for 2004. This is what the Rapture and Interpol would sound like if they wrote songs half as good as those they rip off, or the Strokes if their parents had sent them to art school instead of the fashion academy. Every song on here is so blatantly derivative it sounds almost original, like a modern Blur without the gloomy hangover. It's too early yet to tell if this is just a band for the moment or one for the ages--but who really cares with pop music, anyway? Songs like "Darts of Pleasure," "Come on Home," "Take Me Out," and "Cheating on You" are so good they will surely appeal to those without slanty, messy haircuts. --Mike McGonigal

5.0 out of 5 stars
wooo---ROCK!,
By Liz (vancouver, BC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Franz Ferdinand (Audio CD)
All the songs in this album are fantastic!! Franz Ferdinand is an incredibly talented band that creates fearless music! They respect many different genres of music and they aren't (...) enough to say so. So, you see, you dimwitted metal rock punktards, you don't have to publicly hate pop music to be successful. No fear!!! wooo! music! wooo! WOOO!!! WOOOOOOO!!!

Why all the hype?,
By "itwouldbeme" (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Franz Ferdinand (Audio CD)
I bought this album before "Take Me Out" had hit the radio and I was disappointed from the beginning. Being a fan of the BritPop/Rock scene I thought I'd found a new gem, but this album is nothing but a boring, ho hum effort. I don't understand why this album has garnered so much attention and critical aclaim. The only standout track is "Take Me Out", and the rest did nothing to inspire me or really even catch my attention. I had a tough time "getting into" the album and gave up after 3 or 4 plays through. Franz Ferdinand just doesn't do it for me.

really bad,
By jfulton99 (Missouri) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Franz Ferdinand (Audio CD)
This is a perfect CD for people who don't have any taste in music, but want to drop the name of the CD just to look cool. It sucks... really.
