The GuardianFranz 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 MagazineIknow I wonât be leaving here with you,â 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! OnlineIt's the album you wish the Strokes would've made. ...more
PitchforkLike 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 MediaWith 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

Playloudersample: 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.comIt'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
