Zack: This album definitely is very catchy and fun to listen to. For a debut album, it is certainly a strong performance, although several tracks are a bit weak. While there are some exceptions, most of the songs sort of sound the same, although that isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
Favorite Tracks: Take Me Out, This Fire, Auf Asche
Emily: I always group Franz Ferdinand along with Arctic Monkeys. Both came out around the same time, both generated a lot of hype, and both extol a neo-Britpop sound. I personally think the Arctic Monkeys do it better, but that doesn't mean they don't do it well. I agree with Zack that many of the songs sound the same (with the notable exception of the foot-stompingly good Take Me Out), but this album definitely showed potential for the band and genre.
Favorite Tracks: Take Me Out, Michael, This Fire
