"It's with your sins that you have killed me, thinking of your sins I die"

Date of Review:  Jan 5, 2005
The Bottom Line: says "you turn me on"
Review: There once was a girl who lived a very boring life. She bought albums by artists such as Dio, and she was very depressed. One day, she bought a CD which immediately caught her attention. "What's this?" she asked herself. "I feel like.. I should be...

"my words and smile are so easy now"

Date of Review:  Apr 24, 2005
The Bottom Line: Dancing: the hot new pastime of pale guys with word processors. Try it out!
Review: I know my obligations as an Epinionator, of course, so I promise that this essay will function well enough as a review of the self-titled debut album of Franz Ferdinand: the 30th-or-so such review on Epinions. I came to write it, though, when I...

Not even a bird in hand beats Franz Ferdinand

Date of Review:  Jul 29, 2004
The Bottom Line: Franz Ferdinand: Frolicking, flirtatious, freaky, funny, fabulous, freewheeling, f*cked-up, fantabulous!
Review: It seems that in the last decade or two, F.F. has become a common acronym. In food, we have "fat free". In movies, we have "Freaky Friday", in video games we have "Final Fantasy". And now in music, we have Franz Ferdinand.

Another useless...

pathetic patriotism #2: franz ferdinand's funkified funfest

Date of Review:  Jun 20, 2004
The Bottom Line: -
Review: I've never been one to let the majority's opinions influence my musical tastes. Seriously! Most of you will realise that my favourite band is Radiohead. I can count perhaps me and one other guy in my area who actually _like_ them (everyone else...

Franz Ferdinand: Where Have the Last 20 Years of Music Gone?

Date of Review:  Apr 14, 2004
The Bottom Line: The Scottish band, Franz Ferdinand, discounts the direction of music in the last fifteen or twenty years and returns to a keyboard-guitar-percussion formula that works perfectly.
Review: The name Franz always reminds me of that one Dana Carvey/Kevin Nealon skit on Saturday Night Live. And Ferdinand? Well that too has some lasting connotations not at all related to music. When I was a kid, there were a few books I really liked. One...

Too Retro, No Thanks

Date of Review:  Jul 20, 2004
The Bottom Line: Mediocre at best, too same sounding and too retro for my taste. Others might like this dance rock album since it can be fun at times.
Review: Franz Ferdinand seems to be one of the big breakthrough bands of the year along with Modest Mouse. Their debut album released early 2004 and their single is currently making them a rather popular band amongst both mainstream music lovers and indie...

Franz Ferdinand serves up 2004's quota of infectious, catchy pop-rock

Date of Review:  Jan 1, 2005
The Bottom Line: One of 2004's more infectious rock albums, easily worth a purchase if you're in the market for something lighthearted and entertaining.
Review: One of 2004's biggest splashes came from left field, a group of Scottish boys going by the name Franz Ferdinand. In a sense, the band's success and appeal are hard to qualify: The same kitschy feel that has left The Vines, Hives, Strokes and White...

"Jacqueline was 17, Working on a Desk when Ivor Peered Above a Spectacle"

Date of Review:  Apr 15, 2004
The Bottom Line: Franz Ferdinand's Self-Titled Debut is By Far One of 2004's Best Debut Records for its Blend of Post-Punk & Funk.
Review:
One of the hottest new bands in Britain, Scottish band Franz Ferdinand is currently making waves in Britain with their blend of post-punk and funk. Consisting of singer/guitarist Alex Kapranos, guitarist Nick McCarthy, bassist Bob Hardy, and...

Music to Make the Whitest Boy Dance Part 2: Franz Ferdinand

Date of Review:  Jul 13, 2004
The Bottom Line: Franz Ferdinand is a hugely fun record, though it does tend to sound very "samey" and is very derivative.
Review: From the first time I heard Franz Ferdinand's debut single Take Me Out, I knew I would eventually buy their self titled debut disc. You see, Take Me Out made me want to dance, and me dancing is an ugly ugly sight. For someone who played the drums,...

So You Wanna Dance? Franz Ferdinand Will Make You Dance!

Date of Review:  Jun 25, 2004
The Bottom Line: It ain't rocket science, but "Franz Ferdinand" is an occasionally absurd, extremely danceable album for the escapist in all us stuffshirts out there.
Review: A lot of music is about escapism and fun, but pick up a guitar and you're almost always expected to be serious. It's rare that rock musician is not expected to be angsty. Crack a smile every once in a while and you get your "rawk" card revoked-well,...
