i am definitely biased being such a newcomer to the fanbase of this band. their debut has never felt as special to me as i see a lot of people putting it, but i don't put that down to any factors outside myself. to me this album is a slightly messy compilation of franz ferdinand's best works such as jaqueline, take me out, michael, this fire and come on home and then some other pretty good songs. the closer is incomprehensible to me though. come on home would be the best closer of any ... read more
this album is what really got me into franz ferdinand properly, which is kind of surprising in hindight? as an album, the human fear does stumble a little, starting off with the best song in the entire album and only going downhill from there. besides cats, there is no song i actually dislike, but i do wish there were some more standout songs. with birds, black eyelashes and hooked, there's still plenty to enjoy, but as with the song bar lonely, i feel like this album cuts its best moments ... read more
this is probably my least favorite ff album. with the first 4 songs (especially stand on the horizon!!!) and goodbye lovers and friends it still contains some of their best work. to go from one of my favorite songs period to fresh strawberries is however nothing short of painful. this album also contains the universe expanded, which is probably my least favorite ff song. still good, but could be much better!
this album is weird. it is genuinely my favorite type of ff sound, it's so good omg UP UNTIL IT ISN'T. lucid dreams goes on for way too long, which wouldn't be an issue if it acc went somewhere, but i don't think it does enough to warrant the length. dream again is one of my least favorite songs and katherine kiss me is good, but i don't think it works as a last song. still an incredible album tho!
this album is basically perfect. to me it is perfect, even if i can conjure up some possible areas improvement, even if i like some songs more than others, i would not want this album any different. do you want to might be franz ferdinand's best song and that's just the second song of the album. there are so many bangers in this and i also think this has the best progression out of any ff album. the lyrics touch on so many topics, IT ONLY CAME OUT A YEAR AFTER THEIR DEBUT ALBUM. this ... read more
