KadejaOOct 11, 2004This cd is brilliant! I can't believe it's their first album, and every song is great! They have a lot, a lot, a lot of talent!

AphexMar 11, 2004Amazing! This album is addictive and very well written. If you're not digging this then you're just too old. ...maybe the Eagles will do another reunion tour for you next year:)

johnsMar 16, 2004good but not great...every song is just a slight variation on the same concept of a sleazy eurodisco strokes sound

adrianwMay 26, 2004This is the new UK Style. If you're old enough to have enjoyed Roxy's first five lp's, then you'll get a similar vibe here. Perhaps turdhurlers like Robert E would instead prefer to have their wee privates pecked at by a condor?

JasperBNov 13, 2005Without question this is a great CD, however the fact that it is nowhere close to Franz's debut really makes it seem worse than it actually is.

gavrilopFeb 21, 2005i think that all the music awards Franz Ferdinand will be given in the right hands...this album simply kicks ass...for me,FF is a synonym for what rock'n roll should sound like. pure pleasure in listening to it.

BenSSep 23, 2005With their geeky grins, dapper suits and wavy haircuts Franz are a truly new proposition. This album is a true ride of highs and lows from the brilliant (insanely catchy take me out), To the lows (frankly irritating come on home), overall though the manic indie scots come out on top!

Dec 23, 2010Franz Ferdinand sound fresh and original. This is a great British punk band. They have a distinct sound that's unlike any other band I've ever heard. "Take Me Out" is an amazing song, "Darts Of Pleasure" is another great song. This is like the British Strokes. A-

Aug 11, 2013Genre: Indie Rock
This debut album from Scottish indie rock band Franz Ferdinand may not be particularly long, but it certainly packs plenty into its running time. Quite rightly hailed by a number of critics as one of the best albums of the decade the band were able to create their own unique sound from the opening track to the last. -

May 25, 2012This is one of those albums that may not be the most complex instrumentally or lyrically, but is so much fun to listen to. Each song is very catchy and you can tell that the band was having a great time recording this album.

Sep 4, 2013First and still by far the best Franz Ferdinand album. Great original music with fresh, catchy, and upbeat sound. It just never gets old even after nearly 10 years!

Apr 4, 2014One of the best albums of all time. Every song is amazing, well-written, well done, and the band is even more amazing. Outstanding job by Franz Ferdinand on this record.
-
Jul 10, 2018Amazing debut. The distinct guitar lines act like it was talking to the listener. The diffferent-of-guitars bass lines completes all making a truly orchestra of strings. This album has a formula that is copied by the band up to now.
-
Mar 19, 2014If not the greatest Indie Rock album ever, definitely one of the top 10. A perfect album from beginning to end. "Jacqueline" was the perfect way to start an album that sets you up for the often too short 40 minute journey into the amazing genre that is indie.

Frantic and rhythmic Scotpop with many echoes of so-'90s Blur in the sardonic jabs at middle-class bromides.
-
It won't usher in a bold new era where boys are boys and bands play guitars, but there is more than enough here to chew over and enjoy.
-
The most musically rich, catchy, smartly written "new new wave" record since Interpol's Turn on the Bright Lights.
