| Franz Ferdinand - You Could Have It So Much Better NEW & SEALED Track listingAudio Clip
Glasgow indie rockers return with the follow-up to 2004's self titled, Mercury Prize winning debut. The music is lean as ever, with the band describing it as "more punk rock" than their debut, and sees them trying out new ideas including flirtations with 60s pop and dub. Includes the single 'Do You Want To'. 3.5 out of 5 stars - "…YOU COULD HAVE IT SO MUCH BETTER shows deeper roots in the first wave of white electric dance music: specifically the crunchy-guitar R&B and arch-garage songwriting of 1965-67 Kinks. …" Rolling Stone (No. 985, p.75) 4 stars out of 5 - "Musically, the palette has grown without getting out of hand. Lead guitarist Nick McCarthy appears to have an inexhaustible well of singable guitar riffs: pungent, perfunctory, and hardly ever pretty…" Mojo (p.94) Ranked #3 in Spin's "40 Best Albums Of 2005" - "Their second disc builds on the kraut-disco of their debut, but frontman Alex Kapranos' dubious sensitivity makes YOU COULD HAVE IT so much better than its predecessor." Spin (p.65) "Kapronos' voice is a marvelous wide-eyed sneer. …[The album] sounds exactly like what you'd expect, with pumping disco beats and lookin'-sharp guitars on track after propulsive track." - Grade: B+ Spin (p.132) "…[S]hows Franz Ferdinand working harder and sounding bigger, befitting their stature as rock's saviors of the moment. …" - Grade B+ Entertainment Weekly (No. 844, p.147) 5 (out of 5) - "You can indeed have it so much better, yes, but right now you'd be hard pushed to find better than this." Record Collector (12/05, p.102) Ranked #11 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2005" - "An imperious state-of-the-nation address delivered with ease." Mojo (p.58) 4 (out of 5) - "…an astonishingly assured whole, sure to consolidate the band's burgeoning popularity." Uncut 4 (out of 5) - "So exciting you wouldn't let anyone near it with a heart condition" The Guardian 4 (out of 5) "40 minutes of stomp prove that Franz Ferdinand have moved to the next level" Q 4 (out of 5) - "…a brilliant second album…delivering 13 knockout tunes" Mojo "This is their moment: what a thrill it is to witness it" The Sunday Times "…a pulverising, ultra-catchy buffing-up of '80's indie tropes…" Uncut "[It] overflows with danceable beats and catchy hooks." Vibe (p.210) "An imperious state-of-the-nation address delivered with ease." Mojo "Bigger, bolder, better." Q Franz Ferdinand - You Could Have It ... NEW & SEALED * We are a retail outlet in Sussex.
