Franz Ferdinand New Album

corkey16 - 10-5-2005 at 07:57 AM

So, did anyone get the new album yesterday? How is it!:duh: I read it got 4 stars out of 5 so that's pretty good.

Noisemonster - 10-5-2005 at 08:39 AM

an album must be r e a l l y good for me to buy it

whatever.. i heard it once, but don't know yet if i like the whole album. they have some more different styles now. strange enough, the single turned from not so good to a real burner!

TurtleEnterprises - 10-5-2005 at 10:05 AM

I GOT IT YESTERDAY ITS REALLY GOOD PICK IT UP I GIVE IT 5 STARS

minimandy14 - 10-5-2005 at 02:53 PM

AHH I'M TOTALLY GOING TO GET IT AT THE MALL TOMORROW! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M SO EFFIN' EXCITED!

7cut - 10-6-2005 at 06:20 AM

oh shite...i need to get that record.
i don´t want to like "do you want to" but
i can´t help it. Read in some reviews that
the album would be different from its
predecessor. BUT HOW? can anyone explain?

[Edited on 6-10-2005 by 7cut]

minimandy14 - 10-6-2005 at 12:55 PM

I don't think it's very different, alot of the songs are more up beat but that's about it. By the by, I LOVE IT!

7cut - 10-8-2005 at 03:29 AM

will check it out ........
hmmm, stephen malkmus played
Munich yesterday. shall i feel bad
i didn´t go there?

minimandy14 - 10-8-2005 at 01:44 PM

Some say you're trouble boy, just because you like to destroy, all the things that bring the idiots joy, well, what's wrong with a little distruction?

7cut - 10-9-2005 at 12:45 AM

"trojan curfew" makes me cry....

Greek gods are communing
Beneath the Doric arch
And they talk how small we humans are
They drink to Agamemnon
They toast his Pyhrric march
And wait for the sacrifices

Shepherds herd in real time
Sheep are barley-grazing on a field of green
Vines ripen to find
Troy will prevail
Trojan curfews prevail

So we got smashed on Ios
Down around some Doric arch
And the trashed blonde Scandi
Mistook me for a Swede
Her slurred Medieval accent
Was like a puddle at my feet
You could see chopped tobacco in her teeth

Flaccid waves converging
On a rock hard strip of concrete
Near a field of green
We sign Deutschmarks are fine
Aren't you too pale
Does it hurt you?
So pale
Trojan curfews prevail

look what i found in zee www, hehe..
how mean....the first two solo albums aren´t bad..i don´t like the new one that much though:

Evil - 10-12-2005 at 03:22 PM

i still can't decide if i want to buy it or not. i'm afraid i'll be disappointed like i was when i bought the first one.

minimandy14 - 10-12-2005 at 05:07 PM

Oh no, don't be, this one is WAY better acutally. Like WAY! I like it ALOT more, and I was even slightly disappointed with the first one but I cannot stress the fact that this album is WAY better than the first.

TurtleEnterprises - 10-12-2005 at 11:04 PM

I WAS KIDDING BOUT THE 5 STARS, I HAVENT EVEN OPENED IT YET IT SITTING ON TOP OF MY STEREO.

7cut - 10-13-2005 at 07:03 AM

then OPEN sesame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

minimandy14 - 10-13-2005 at 03:37 PM

DO IT! DO IT! NOW!

bananaboat - 10-21-2005 at 04:16 PM

I like it when bands do something a bit different from their previous CD, I wouldn't buy it if it sounded exactly the same.

minimandy14 - 10-21-2005 at 07:03 PM

Yea it is different then their first cd. It has recently become one of my favorite cd's of all time.

Evil - 10-22-2005 at 03:46 PM

"Shmeh" is probably how I would describe it.

minimandy14 - 10-23-2005 at 09:59 AM

:no:

I'm so disapointed.

bananaboat - 10-24-2005 at 03:49 PM

I don't like it, I forgot to mention that.

minimandy14 - 10-25-2005 at 02:12 PM

What? Why don't you like it? What's not to like?

corkey16 - 10-26-2005 at 09:16 AM

I still haven't listen to mine yet. Sad.

minimandy14 - 10-26-2005 at 12:17 PM

Yea that is sad, someone else on here has to realize how great that album is. . .

poobs - 10-26-2005 at 02:44 PM

It won't be me.. :cool:

minimandy14 - 10-26-2005 at 06:37 PM

:no:

I'm so disappointed in you guys! What is wrong with it? I'm listening to it right now and I love it!

poobs - 10-26-2005 at 07:39 PM

I actually don't have it..:D

minimandy14 - 10-27-2005 at 12:58 PM

Well poobs, you should get it, it's awesome.

poobs - 10-27-2005 at 03:36 PM

Nah..I just bought the new Coldplay and I'm scared to open it..I'm not sure if I'm going to like it so I kinda want to return it..Besides, Chris Martin pisses me off so I'm not sure if I want to support him..

minimandy14 - 10-27-2005 at 05:51 PM

Hmmm. . .I just got the new White Stripes album today. . . it's not as good as I thought it was going to be. . . maybe I just need to listen to it a few more times. . . .

Evil - 10-27-2005 at 08:11 PM

oi. i'd return the coldplay. the singles i've heard off that album are pretty much horrendous. especially in that one where he tries to sing super high and sounds like crap.

Evil - 10-27-2005 at 08:12 PM

by the by, anyone heard the new strokes song? i like it a lot. it's much better than i've ever heard them sound.

7cut - 10-28-2005 at 06:17 AM

Coldplay? *shudder* waaaaaah.....

I HAVE IT I HAVE IT! burnt Franz Ferdinand
at a friend of mine. good stuff. bit too good if
you know what i mean. too poppy. too catchy.
but nevermind...........don´t like the ballad though.

It's ok, not like the album before it though. more slow songs on the new one. And there is one song when he's trying to sound all New Wave on.

Yeah..I meant to download some songs before I decided to keep it or not..It was only $10, so I figured I should pick it up..I like Speed of Sound, so I thought I MIGHT like the rest of the album..Ahhh well..

minimandy14 - 10-29-2005 at 11:20 AM

I'm not a big fan of coldplay like AT ALL.

Noisemonster - 10-31-2005 at 06:15 AM

hmmm.. i liked the parachutes album. after that, the atmosphere was all gone, the magic is all gone. and they imitate themselves. the speed of sound sounds more like clocks than clocks itself. :yawn:

poobs - 10-31-2005 at 07:31 AM

Yeah..I loved Parachutes..Oh man..There were a few songs that made me cry..A Rush Of Blood To The Head was alright, too..But I could tell their egos were getting larger by the second..That's why I can't stand them anymore..I thought maybe I could put that aside for the music, but maybe not..

minimandy14 - 10-31-2005 at 01:37 PM

Hmmm was that lyrics for something Noise? it was crizazy. . . .

JunoRedneck - 10-31-2005 at 02:13 PM

I've always thought Coldplay was boring. My brother really likes them, and I make fun of him for it. "You know how I know you're gay?..." :lol:

minimandy14 - 10-31-2005 at 03:06 PM

ah man. . .I miss my sisters. . . . .

everything is lyrics. especially everything in english is lyrics.. :lol:

in case you don't know, 'speed of sound' and 'clocks' are song titles. :lol:

minimandy14 - 10-31-2005 at 07:02 PM

I didn't. . . but now I do. . . . That's sweeeeeet. .. . . .

Noisemonster - 11-2-2005 at 06:32 PM

so i listened to the franz ferdinand album for the third time and didn't like it. in my opinion, there are only three or four good songs on it, including do you want to.

Evil - 11-2-2005 at 06:35 PM

word. most of the songs sound the same.

Noisemonster - 11-3-2005 at 01:00 AM

yep.. seems like some creativity is missing.

7cut - 11-3-2005 at 01:27 PM

after a couple of listenings i don´t
like it that much neither....song 2,
song 9, and the one that has
the title mentioned in it...10 i
think. the rest...so so. the TWO
downtempo songs are so pathetic.
that bollocks with coney island and
its rollercoaster. written when being
on the promo tour? like "hey boys,
we need another song, here
you got 10 minutes..make something
up!"?????

7cut - 12-8-2005 at 01:19 PM

got word i get a free ticket for their munich show on monday.....argh, last time i saw them i commited the fatal mistake to buy a beer RIGHT before it´s been FF stage time and at the first chord the people went wild shoving so my glass was empty and carina was full of beer. :rolleyes:

minimandy14 - 12-8-2005 at 02:48 PM

He wrote that coney island song when he was in New York becausae that's where his girlfriend lives. Her name is Elenor. . . .the song is called Elenor Put Your Boots Back On. . . . . .

7cut - 12-8-2005 at 02:57 PM

CONEY ISLAND STEEPLECHASE.
oh i love the Cyclone.

minimandy14 - 12-8-2005 at 08:18 PM

I've never been

7cut - 12-9-2005 at 03:03 AM

oh you really should!!!!
the first turn...aaaaaaaah.
on a walk along Coney Island
pier i saw a dog with nailvarnish
on. sick sick sick.

minimandy14 - 12-9-2005 at 02:31 PM

We used to do that to our rotwiler (sp?) because she was mean looking but she was the sweetest dog ever, so we'd paint her nails hot pink.

7cut - 12-10-2005 at 01:24 PM

just listened to their new album again...i like the 9th song the most. "but i just don´t know, just what you said, what you saaaaaid" dadadada dadada. Question from a non-native English speaker, when the Greek sings "Your famous friend well i blew him before ya" in `do you wanna` --does he mean he´s given him a blowjob before?

corkey16 - 12-10-2005 at 06:14 PM

I 'm thinking so. :yes:

I think he's bi.

minimandy14 - 12-10-2005 at 07:25 PM

Yea that part kinda confused me too! IS he bi?! Becuase in the first album he sings "Micheal" and that song sounds kinda fruity.

7cut - 12-11-2005 at 03:09 PM

You are the latest contender
You are the one to remember
You are the villain who sends a
Line of dark fantastic passion
I know that you will surrender
I know that you will surrender
And I want this fantastic passion
We'll have fantastic passion

You can feel my lips undress your eyes
Undress your eyes undress your eyes
Words of love and words so leisured
Words are poisoned darts of pleasure
Die, and so you die.

You are the latest adventurer
You're an emotion avenger
You are the devil that sells a
line of dark fantastic passion
I know that you will surrender
I know that you will surrender
And I want this fantastic passion
We'll have fantastic passion

You can feel my lips undress your eyes
Undress your eyes undress your eyes
Skin can feel my lips they tingle tense anticipation
This one is an easy one, feel the word and melt upon it
Words of love and words so leisured
Words are poisoned darts of pleasure
Die, and so you die.

Ich heiße Super Fantastisch
Ich trinke Schampus mit Lachsfisch
Ich heiße Super Fantastisch. (x3)

Really?

What does that mean? That's funny. Almost like that one Tool song when they are speaking in German and they are talking about how to bake cookies. :lol:

7cut - 12-12-2005 at 04:09 PM

Really? don´t know that one...
just returned from FF, the Rakes have
been supporting. I was a little bored
to be honest. People were getting crazy, singing along, jumping, screaming, dancing. Highlight was when 3 of them would beat the drums together during
one song. Nick talked lots of German
as usual. They had a boast of a light
show and visuals. And a 5th member
even if for live only....a keyboarder.

that one was strange.. does anyone know 'Das Schützenfest' by Faith No More? i think i mentioned it somewhere before..

minimandy14 - 12-12-2005 at 05:47 PM

Can't say that I do.

7cut - 12-13-2005 at 10:21 AM

"Das Schützenfest" ... :lol:

have you heard the new Rammstein release, "Rosenrot"? i saw the video lately and nearly wet my pants. But there is something about Till Lindemann i really enjoy. --but only if his hair is longer...

ToxicAvenger27 - 7-3-2009 at 10:25 AM

first cd - awesome. everyone knows that.
second cd - review missing, never bought it.
third cd - ....eh? the synth is interesting, but i gotta throw it in a few more times before i decide whether or not its a good change.
