The Guardian
Franz Ferdinand's album arrives packed not just with fizzing guitars, disco-influenced drums and intriguing shifts in tempo, but also memorable songs, laden with hooklines and startling riffs. ...more
Stylus Magazine
Iknow I won’t be leaving here with you,” sings Alex Kaprano. What? Think again, mate. You and your band are so leaving here with us. Okay, listen up people. Yes, you might think that we have had more than our little brains can handle ...more
E! Online
It's the album you wish the Strokes would've made. ...more
Pitchfork
Like all lasting records, Franz Ferdinand steps up to the plate and boldly bangs on the door to stardom. There's no consideration for what trends have just come and gone. There's no waffling or concessions for people who won't get it. ...more
Pitch Fork Media
With the cash from the Thesaurus Musicarum sales snowing in, Editor-in-Chief Ryan Schreiber decided to treat the entire staff of Pitchfork to a weekend retreat at Steamers, a Finnish bath/scat fetish "bunny ranch" in Baraboo, Wisconsin. Having ...more

Buzzworthy bands stagger like winos trying to piss into a can: connecting about half the time (Stripes, Soundtrack of Our Lives, Darkness), but missing the rest (Muse, Feeder, Rooney). Franz Ferdninand are of the former category, so let's not ...more
PopMatters
The most musically rich, catchy, smartly written "new new wave" record since Interpol's Turn on the Bright Lights. ...more
Splendid
This is a terrifically exciting debut, imbued with a zest, energy and songwriting flair that warrants -- perhaps even commands -- some sort of attention. ...more
New Musical Express
It marks the dawning of an era of British music that isn’t just for the casual petrol shop consumer, but stuff so important that you can give yourself to it completely. This is the album that’s going kick open the door for all the great British ...more
Playlouder
Fearsomely post-post-punk, appealingly brazen, and ambitiously tight, they have indeed made The Album That Saved Indie. ...more
PrefixMag
Winning an NME award normally means just as much in my mind as winning a Grammy: nothing. But I couldn't help but become fascinated with the awards this year, not because I had put money on Har Mar Superstar winning the "Rock 'n' Roll Man ...more

sample: Matinee Here it is then: The Most Important Album of The Year. Alright, so that's maybe something of an overstatement, but, if there's one band that can be said to have had the kind of galvanising effect not seen since The Strokes ...more
nme.com
It's the modest ones you've got to look out for. Franz Ferdinand's aim is to "make records that girls can dance to and to cut through postured crap". Oh really ? After all they sport art-school crops, stripey shirts and the moniker of the archduke ...more
Los Angeles Times
In a few tracks, you sense this band is still at the mercy of influences as it searches for its identity, but the best moments are wonderfully promising. ...more
