Jan 6, 2012While still has many good moments, their style wore thin a bit for me on their second record. There was little or no progression in style and it lacked the tunes of their debut.

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.

Jul 12, 2018Great album. A little bit more versatile and light than first album, but a bit less memorable.

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

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.
