OK but not great
It wasn't quite as good as the last two cds. I was a little disappointed. Better luck next time.


A Solid Album
This album rocks hard! "No You Girls" is a definite hit -- a sexy sound and smart, witty lyrics. Franz Ferdinand continues to have solid songs and a unique sound. "Ulysses", "What She Came For" , and "Live Alone" are also destined to be radio hits.


ALBUM OF THE YEAR!
When it first came out, I was hesitant to buy. That's right, I'll go against the grain of naysayers and say that, at the end of the year, this will still sound amazing and get booty upon booty shaking. I loved the first album and thought the second was nothing special, but wanted to give them another try. It worked. For about two weeks straight, I listened to nothing but this album. It woke me up in the morning and comforted me when I was drunk and wanted to pretend that I wasn't turning into a raging alcoholic (it was a bit of a rough spell. ) It's not radically different from any of their older stuff, that's true, but the synths make it different enough that it's not another "You Could Have. . . ' which I thought was largely a rehash of the brilliant first. I just killed the two dominating points of view with one sentence.
Anyway, the difference I see is that this is dance-rock with a British touch while the debut was Brit-pop with a dance-rock touch. I've got to admit that after the first two weeks went by, and I moved onto other things, that I thought it may be a passing fancy--that the hooks would annoy rather than continually fascinate. I recently listened to it again--sober, even--and realized that it was much more than that. I haven't liked an album this much since "Return to Cookie Mountain. " I can be hammered, pop either in, and be transferred to a different sonic world. "Twilight Omens" and "Bite Hard" are both still hilarious to me.


It was OK
A little different from their other albums in terms of sounding more electronic & somewhat disko.


Absolutely exceptional beginning to end
One where none of the tracks sound like "filler". These days it is extremely rare that I find an album I can enjoy from beginning to end. I can say with confidence this is one of those rare albums. With a very original sound that will make you want to move this album has it all. Not only do these guys rock the house, they give you a little sample of dance, funk, disco and blend it in beautifully to create an unforgettable and irresistable product. Not only is this my favorite Franz Ferdinand album, it is one of my favorites that I've ever had. A must for anyone who appreciates good music and wants something different for a change.
