Franz Ferdinand

Has anyone heard these guys? I think they're pretty damn good.

Pitchfork's review was indecipherable. I've been meaning to listen, but I don't care enough.

They're catchy, and Take Me Out is a good song, but I don't see them as the revolutionaries that NME proclaims them to be. I passed up the chance to see them at Reading before they got big... oh well.

They're really good. After David Bowie, they're the main reason I bought a four day ticket for Rock Werchter.

I liked Take Me Out a lot, really good catchy riff, but the second single is frankly a bit wet.

C4 keeps playing ads for them and I have no idea who they are.

there a bit too melodic for me a times, it does sound like sub standard prog rock.

Isn't that that guy who got assassinated?

Eh, they were good for a while, but the more I listen the more I'm bored of them, that and the fact that their second single is almost exactly the same as the first.

Good thing I never bought the album, just listened to the songs played over and over on TV.

They're coming to NZ, and while I did like the one song I heard in the music store, I'm pretty sure that isn't justification to buy tickets, although they are cheap...

I've seen their music video and its so odd I keep watching. The music is not bad, but once you've heard it enough times at work you get a tad tired of it. I still watch it though when I can. I'd see them if the tickets were cheap. I believe they are a Scottish-sorta Vines type band. That's just what I hear.
