Franz Ferdinand

Post by Waiting to Exist »

I just picked up their CD, and I'm about halfway through... they sort of remind me of the Beatles... I like them. Anyone else?
I just wanna get out,

Great CD. Took me awhile to get into it, but I love it now. Very fun to dance around to. I can see Beatles comparisons but mostly just in the vocals, they seem a lot more upbeat. My personal favourites are: Jacqueline, Take Me Out and 40'.

I love the album too.

And they're great live too. If anyone gets the chance to see them you should definitely go.
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.

And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

I would love to see them live. I really like Jacqueline, Take Me Out, and Auf Asche. I hope I spelled that right.

I love the Take Me Out Song.

my friend had the cd on her IPOD> I was listening to it. I love it. I couldn't see them when they played here. I was in Canada then. :cry: :cry: . But that trip was good so it wasn't too bad. They will be back around. :nod:

I feel love, I feel a power. It comes to me in the darkest hour. And I want to feel it again

i just downloaded it, i haven't listened to it yet, but if i like it i'll buy it. But i'm sorta disapointed that the take me out riff is close to a Led Zep riff, but if i hated every band that had some other band's riff then i would hate lots of bands.
