UncutFor all the influences, their voice is uniquely, gently mad. [Mar 2004, p.88]
-
FilterRelentlessly sultry, with lush arrangements framed by slamming dance beats. [#9, p.102]
-
The most musically rich, catchy, smartly written "new new wave" record since Interpol's Turn on the Bright Lights.
-
Quick, breezy and fun.
-
BlenderThe band's debut struts and flirts like the best-looking guy at the bar. [Apr 2004, p.126]
-
Insanely catchy and perfect for singing along with.
-
Franz Ferdinand's music possesses an intriguing, passive-aggressive kind of wasted elegance that never quite pays off.

TimB.Mar 10, 2004Why is it that all these no name bands get great reviews. All these indie/art rock bands are nothing and will never be remembered for anything.
