these guys are unbelievable .. i don't know what they are doing with only 3 albums out. they should've had 20 albums by now ..i bet they have enough material to do them ... they're just teasing us .. smart marketing skills ...they know what they are doing ...
hopefully they'll release Favourite Lie on a b-side. they're both great but I tend to prefer Favourite Lie. I have the whole song but sadly its just a bootleg that sounds as if it was recorded with a cell phone T_T
What she came for has a better chorus and better lyrics, but Favourite Lie has a better base line and the guitar during "with a laugh like that" bit on Favourite Lie sounds better.
Overall I reckon WSCF edges it tho, changed my mind
I don't quite understand why so many 'fans' are objecting to their new songs. Franz likes trying out new sounds, which keeps things interesting -- and I LOVE their new songs so far! If people want them to only sound like their first album-- then listen to their first album on repeat or something. But perhaps that's a bit uncharitable of me. To each their own, I suppose...
I agree with you totally. These guys experiment with their music and good luck to them! If no one's prepared to push the boundaries then we'll end up with the same old music but with a different name or band playing it. What I've heard of their new material is great so far, keep up the good work lads! =)
no, sorry. i read an interview that just said they were planning on releasing it this spring, they didn't specify when. i'm so excited though, they just keep getting better and better.
they said in an interview they have written 12 songs now and will write another 5 and than select 11 for the 3rd album. This is the best of the 12 (so far)
It's a good song, but all that I was thinking through this whole video was "TAN PANTS.... or are they pants? Are they no pants? No, they're tan pants!" xD
Franz Ferdinand REVITALIZED! Sounds like they finally relaxed and let the melody come to them... sounds really promising. I knew they still had some good songs in them.
Sorry scotchqueen, but this was recorded at a 4-day music festival where video equipment is strictly prohibited... And there's only so much you can do with a digital photo camera whose memory needs to last through many other good performances!
Actually, I'm pretty sure he was playing a Gibson ES-335 (with a Bigsby bridge and block inlays). He also used his old Fender Telecaster on that show.
Sounds better in "What she came for", Why they take so long to put in a new album?
