“The Brilliant Enigma that is Franz Ferdinand” Trying to describe FF’s music is like trying to describe the expression on the face of the Mona Lisa. Their inscrutability is part of their charm. It’s a rock sound, but not in the traditional sense. It’s pop, but heavier than most. You can dance to it, but it goes deeper than that. Their 3 albums, while retaining a consistency of sound, represent a process of evolution. The second one was a smooth but noticeable maturity over the first. This third one takes it all further.

Takes what further? Well, that’s what is hard to explain. Lyrically, their songs are what they always have been: urbane, playful, clever and sly. There are insinuations and innuendos, frequently sexual, in many lines, but it’s hard to pin down their exact meaning. For instance, in “No You Girls” there’s “kiss me where your eye won’t meet me”.

Best One Yet!
Another amazing album from an amazing band.

This is a solid album. There are 3 standouts on this album though, “Ulysses”, “You Girls Never Know” and “Lucid Dreams”. Lucid Dreams melted my face off. I can’t help but compare them to the Beatles after listening to this album.

Let’s Get High
After listening to Tonight: Franz Ferdinand for a week or so now, I’m really getting high on this new record. Man, thank God there’s still a rock and roll band out there that’s still dedicated to making great sounding, clever, and risky songs with cool lyrics. Love the synths on this record and consider that a brilliant incorporation into the songs. I’d say Tonight is a bit more progressive than the previous two albums and that is a good thing. Better than regressive and boring.

Tonight is an absolutely sensational rock record. Get it. Get it Tonight….more info

This is the best CD released this year!
It’s a very groovy release, full of really catchy and danceable tracks. Even more so than their last offering. I wouldn’t pay attention to any review that gave this album less than 4 stars :) …more info
