"Love And Destroy" could have been better
It's just I thought a thing or two could have been better. There is nothing I could say that is BAD about this CD. Here's what I have to say:

MICHAEL--This fast paced rock song is of very good quality. It's just that many would be given some wrong impressions about Alex Kapranos from listening to the lyrics of the song. But I'm not going to start describing why. The bottom line is that it's a good song. Featuring vocals by Alex Kapranos and Nick McCarthy.

LOVE AND DESTROY--I once heard a live version of this song, and it was EXCELLENT. I just wanted to listen to it over and over again. So, I expected the actual album version to be even better. But I was wrong. The album version isn't a bad song, it's just so slow and unamimated compared to the version that I once knew. Featuring vocals by Alex Kapranos and Nick McCarthy.

MISSING YOU--One song by Franz Ferdinand that does not feature piano that can be called a ballad. And it is quite beautiful. I'm glad that Franz Ferdinand discovered how to write a ballad and include electric guitar in it. Featuring vocals by Alex Kapranos.

So my final say is 4. 5/5, . 5 stars of just because I expected LOVE AND DESTROY to be so much better.


There are no throw aways
But this single is a must for "Love and Destroy" and "Missing". Most people who might be interested in this single probably have the Franz Ferdinand album. It's a shame "Love and Destroy" did not make the album because this is the first Franz Ferdinand song I heard and got me hooked on them. It has a distinct 80's sound and great guitar riff that reminds me of early "New Order". This is probably my favorite song by them. "Missing You" is another strong track that could have easily made the album also. Don't be fooled that these are B-sides, with Franz Ferdinand it seems there are no throw away tracks.
