    what does everyone think of this band??

    I like "Do you want to" yeah, its a bit rehashed rock n roll, but who cares, really?

    yeah, they arent anything special by any means, they are just rock n roll, which you have heard many times over.....

    that first song they came out with was pretty good, but after awhile, I just got tired of it and thats the only thing I've ever heard from them.

    They're alright but I'm getting kinda sick of them. There's a really big indie scene here in Brighton and you can just hear Franz Ferdinand wherever you go.

    I have just listened to their second album all the way through, and I can sum it up best this way:

    Sophomore Slump.

    The first Franz album was really good and I'm slowly getting into the second one. It's maybe less catchy than the first album, but there are some very good tunes on it. And Liam is totally right, I always dance to Franz Ferdinand! :)

    *so find me and follow me...* :)

    I've never listened to the debut. I have heard "Take Me Out" plenty. Tough to say much without knowledge of the 1st album but, this is a pretty good sophomore effort. I enjoyed it, especially tracks like "This Boy," "Walk Away," and "Do You Want to." There is something repetitive there, and I won't buy the 1st album, but these Brits are alright with me.

    I really DO NOT like them. They are complete queers! Their music is just so boring and they are far to overrated.

    It's called emo, that's the way they dress. If you think their music is "boring," you should try listening; you have to buy the album first.
