Good Franz Ferdinand CD

Since the first time I heard “Take Me Out” by Franz Ferdinand I had been a fan of the band. Their most recent CD “Tonight: Franz Ferdinand” picks up where that song leaves off and treats the listener to more rhythmic rifts and lustful lyrics. My two favorite songs on the album are “Ulysses” and “No You Girls.” The first pleads the question, we have nothing to do so what should we do, with getting high the clear answer. It’s an interesting song that has catchy bass and fun/ny lyrics. “No You Girls” sets the precedent of the song early, opening with the lyrics “Flick your cigarette and then kiss me/Kiss me where your eye won't meet me.” It’s a raunchy track with a catchy tune. The rest of the album isn’t as enjoyable as these two songs but is still a joy to listen to. I’d highly recommend putting the album on when doing some studying or going on a walk, it’s solid.
