Franz Ferdinand

[Lady Asphyxia]

[font=Verdana][size=1]I did do a quick check to see if it had already been brought up, but apparently not. So; Franz Ferdinand, what do you think?[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana][size=1][/size][/font]
[font=Verdana][size=1]Personally, I [i]love[/i] the band, heh. The self-titled album Franz Ferdinand is just so much fun. One particular song always makes me jump up and dance around the room. :rolleyes: [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana][size=1][/size][/font]
[font=Verdana][size=1]They were apparently going to appear in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire movie, as the Weird Sisters. However, since then, they had to pull out because of commitments, and now Javis (The 'Pulp" lead singer) and Johnny Greenwood (the Radiohead guitarist) will be in the movie, so Franz Ferdinand can concentrate on recording their second album -- which I'll definately be buying![color=black]

[font=Verdana][size=1][/size][/font]

[font=Verdana][size=1]So, yeah. Opinions, comments, etc. Anyone seen them live?[/size][/font]

[color=deeppink][size=1]I love Franz Ferdinand. I was watching some documentary thing or something on them, and they quoted something the lead singer (I think) said, about how they were just trying to make music that people could bop their heads and dance to. They've certainly achieved that with this album. I honestly can't listen to one single track on the whole thing without bopping my head a couple times and doing a little mini-dance.

Like Asphyxia said, their tunes are extremely catchy. Great jumping around dancing to music.

My favorite tracks would have to be Take Me Out, Michael, Jacqueline, Auf Achse, and Darts of Pleasure. Good stuff.

[size=1]I went to a gig with them in it just a few days ago!

They're overwhelmingly amazing live, and their charisma is just mindblowing. x.x I've got a few video recordings and a full mp3 recording of their act if anyone's interested. :)

Anyway, my favourite songs from them are 'Michael' (eee!!), 'Tell Her Tonight', 'Take Me Out', 'The Dark of the Matinee', and 'Jacqueline'. They gave us a new one that was quite good also. It had 'young' as part of the title, but I'll have to listen to the recording again. =x[/size]

I myself love Franz Ferdinand songs like 40', Dark of hte Matinee, This Fire, Take Me Out, and more.

I can't wait to get the cd its only $12.99 at Wal-Mart.

I have not heard a group this good since well The Killers and some of my other favorite groups I also like them cause they are kind of Like Indie Rock one of my types of Genres Like The White Stripes, Modest Mouse, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Franz Ferdinand, and other groups.

I've only heard one of their songs 'Take me out', and I loved it. I also liked their music video for it. If I wasn't so poor I'd buy their album in a heartbeat, or go to one of their concerts. Basically all I have done is summarize the above, but I wanted to get my thoughts out. :sweat:

[color=hotpink][size=1]It's really rare for me to buy a CD of band if I haven't been a fan for a LONG LONG time. But I bought this CD. And I really liked it. But one day I wanted to listen to Audioslave and so I took it out and set it aside. Now I can't find it. It's been missing since, and I've cleaned my room plenty of times. I keep hearing it being played around me in my apartment complex, so I have this theory about someone stealing it... >.>

I'm sure it will turn up eventually. ^_^;[/color][/size]

I just listened to the cd last night. My friend braught it over to my house, I was'nt sure if i was gonna like it but it's way awesome. All the songs are so catchy, I realy like their new wave kinda sound, Thats a rare thing these days. I especialy like the song Micheal, thares just some thing kinky and arousing about it. I also liked The dark of the matinee, god i love the beat. I'm definately gonna buy the cd when i get my Christmas money. yay
