Franz continues the great streak of Brit-pop albums this year with this one. There isn't a single miss on this record. It's straight awesome from beginning to end.

The Scottish post-punk revolutionaries return with a second album of whip-smart guitar hooks, indie dance beats and wry party-scene reports.

While the band still likes their first disc, they wanted to move on, and after listening to YCHISMB, most fans will be grateful they did.

Their first album was one of the strongest debuts in recent memory and this is an equally impressive follow-up.

Though it will not have such a cataclysmic effect on the music scene as its predecessor, it is no less impressive.

Their whole project, their whole system of stylish poses and cocksure guitar stomps, just happens to work better in discrete, surprising, three-minute blasts.

For a pop band, Franz Ferdinand's music is much better than it could be.

If ever a band was the product of its collective metabolism it's Franz Ferdinand.

The problem with You Could Have It So Much Better is, as with so many second albums, consistency.

Thus, the Ferdinand boys may be in for a backlash, albeit an undeserved one: their second album proves the New-New Wave really could have it so much better.

Now, Franz Ferdinand (as a band and artistic entity rather than just a collection of four dudes) doesn't seem to have a genuine bone in its body.

this album is simply great.al least as good as the first one. Almost every song has the potential to become a hit. i have heard the album a few times and it still sounds amazing, some songs i like even more after a few hearings.that is a quality which shows just how good franz ferdinand is.they are really cool and one of my favourite bands,too. |

Heard "Take Me Out" on one of my football games and looked into it. Now... I'm probably the biggest Franz Ferdinand fan in the US |

With this album it is possible to listen to it countless times and never be bored or less interested in it. It stand up to the most effective interest killing act of all time, over playing it. No mater how many times I hear it ,It captured my attention just like the first time hearing it. |
