[Chris Misfit]

What a bunch of stundenty wank is all I have to say. HMV can keep that shit.

[Evolution]

Sounds like someone's jealous of the educated 

[Chris Misfit]

Jealous of the educated? More like sick of the upper class pretending to be the working class.

[Evolution]

But....but.....the cheap clothes! 

[Chris Misfit]

Yes. Sorry, should I bow to the marketing ploy, coz I forgot. Whoops.

[Evolution]

It is your duty as joe public music fan to bow yes, commence

[Aava]

I didn?t like the first album, so i doubt i?ll buy the new one.

[Lord Blackadder]

Do You Want To is a great song. I'll prob buy the album.

LMAO
Yeah they are shite, i mean, whast with the annoying stop start tunes of cheesyness....they dont even rock on stage!

[Madcap]

Well Franz released their new album entitled "You Could Have It So Much Better.....With Franz Ferdinand" just yesterday over here. I've heard The Fallen and Do You Want To off it and it's more layered than their debut.

Anyone got it? And do you recommend?

i don't have it. but i have heard it.i would recommend it to you, it is so much better then their debut album.

has anyone else heard tht he title of the cd was directed at killers fans? i read that somewhere but i can't remember where? any clues

[AxlsMainMan]

I thought they were a total ripoff of the Hives and that there one big song was overplayed to death..

Cant see myself sheving out 20 bucks for a drink coaster

i disagree...i saw them 6 months ago and they were fantastic in concert...in fact the concert won me over as i wasnt sure about them

im not sure what students has to do with anything...if it sounds good then to my ears its good

and green day sung about iraq and its not as if they have first hand experience of active duty in iraq eh..so therefore that would be rock singers pretending they were soldiers hmmm

upper class...i know he lead singers stayed in dennistoun in glasgow for a while...ill tell you this boy, it aint paradise...
and one of the other members in his teens was a car thief...now gladly reformed

well from my ears, it sounds like the hives (and i am a fan btw) are ripping off the stones

and franz ferdinand i think are more influenced by the 80's than anything else, the fall and pixies etc and also singers like bowie and bob dylan on the new album

i just dont hear the similarities between them

[Chris Misfit]

I seem to remember you hated them. What swung it?

The Hives sure do sound like The Stones, and you know what else does? All that british "rawk".

[Axls Locomotive]

I seem to remember you hated them. What swung it?

the hives are happy where they are...and will happily churn out solid albums...but i think franz ferdinand have the capability of being a great band and not a band that will churn out 12 standard rock tracks every 2 years...too many rock bands are good but not excellent

they dont obsess over violence nor sex like most rock bands...its over done, its saturated, its boring...can we move on now to something different please

just like green day are rising out of their juvenility to produce some great songs...and not to rely on the same old crap... long may that continue

their videos, albeit arty, are far superior to the mass produced crap/easily forgettable videos full of overly up-themselves pricks...too many fish in the sea and not enough whales jumping above the monotony...nothing wrong with arty, its better than watching someone smoking and looking cool for the gazillionth time

they were brilliant in concert...maybe not everyones choice but certainly not dull for a band that had only created one album...

im all for rock bands being popular, it means other bands get more of a chance to show themselves to the world...franz ferdinand will convert a lot of people to rock music...that can only be a good thing and thats another reason to support the bands that have the ability to become popular...every generation needs figureheads and for the last decade there hasnt really been any rock bands that have made an impression enough to merit it...maybe they will, maybe not...but id rather have rock popular than hip hop

oh and they are from glasgow
 
probably other reasons but i cant think of them just now

[Axls Locomotive]

The Hives sure do sound like The Stones, and you know what else does? All that british "rawk".

im sure that could also be said about mainstream american rock music

imo...if it sounds good then who cares where it came from...

[Evolution]

oh and they are from glasgow

I used to think that but isn't it only the drummer who is Glasweigan? Spose the toothless smile gave him away

[Axls Locomotive]

I used to think that but isn't it only the drummer who is Glasweigan? Spose the toothless smile gave him away

aye i think so...but they formed in glasgow and their first gigs were in glasgow...

just like AC/DC is regarded as an australian band but 2 of them are Scottish

[RichardNixon]

Mosy overrated band ever.

[Evolution]

Well i finally listened to it all. Its a good effort. 7/10.

Try "Eleanor Put Your Boots on"
