Do You Want To?

Hmm.

Wow. At long last I've finally procured Franz Ferdinand's 2nd album, titled 'You Could Have It So Much Better', and frankly it's one of the best modern albums I've heard so far (the other being The Darkness's 'One Way Ticket To Hell... And Back', and of course Coldplay's 'X&Y').

From the raging telecaster intros of 'The Fallen' to the unstoppable disco-like 'Do You Want To' to the Beatles-esque 'Eleanor Put Your Boots On' and all those in-between, this album took me one take to get used to it. As of 5 minutes ago, 'Do You Want To' has become my latest handphone ringtone and wake-up song, and the chorus bit is my sms alert lol.

I had also bought Jeff Beck's 'Blow By Blow' which is a Jazz fusion album.. a little hard to swallow at this point in time given my inability to comprehend weird time signatures which constantly change and shift at least 20 times per section within one song. Hur.

Anyways, for those who haven't checked it out... Franz Ferdinand's latest album 'You Could Have It So Much Better' truly makes a statement, all 13 songs and despite its brashness in some parts.


Cheers,
