Apr 25, 2012One of the worst albums I've had the displeasure of buying. It possesses all of the pretension of the early '00s indie movement without any of the charm of the hits on the band's first album.

TomJan 5, 2006All the songs sound the same as the last album- I was very disappointed.

Mr.RightNov 7, 2005I, sincerely, enjoyed the first outing, and looked foward to hearing what FF could come up with next. What came up was a recipe, that was in much need of a fly.

TobyKeithOct 17, 2005It sounds like they've listened to the outakes of their debut album and put it out as a record. I could've done that better!

EvanOct 14, 2005They are losers. The look like hobos and can't sing. The only reason I gave them a 3 is because the one guy looks like Jim Carrey, and he's awesome!!!

It's a stunning, confident piece of work that suggests the band is merely getting started.

BlenderIt'll do just fine for now. But here's hoping for a torturously difficult third album. [Oct 2005, p.140]

Franz Ferdinand have slightly tweaked the neo-Brit-pop genre – mixing in funk, dashes of punk, and a bit of disco – and come out with a sophomore album even more confident and hungry for glory than their debut.
