I've been meaning to post about Franz Ferdinand's latest album "Tonight" since it came out at the end of January, but haven't had the chance because words couldn't really express how much I absolutely love this album. It was exactly what I needed, & didn't even realize it. Track after track, is full of jaunty dance rhythms that only improve on their 2 previous albums, and prove that they're more than just an iPod/Madden sensation (though coincidentally enough "No You Girls" is featured in the latest iPod Touch commercials.)
Franz's first album was such a triumph and not only because Take Me Out blew up and made the band an international sensation, but thanks to great songs like "This Fire" and continuously sick licks. So when their 2nd album came out I was mildly disappointed and can't really recall ever fully appreciating it, aside from "Do You Want To." Though with "Tonight" they're back in top form and get your hips shaking from the moment it starts with "Ulysses." I posted the original version of Lucid Dreams when it was first available, but the album version is a rather different and really extended version with a sick breakdown.So I've included the entire album in order, plus a few of my favorite tracks from their first album.
