For
some reason, the thing that always stands out most to me about this band is
Triumph the Insult Comic Dog telling them they should decide which one gets to
call himself Franz Ferdinand for when they’re in the unemployment line. Every
time I read that Franz Ferdinand is putting out a new album, I think of it as a
slap to the face of somebody’s favorite insult comic dog.
So just
why does Franz Ferdinand keep putting out new albums? Odds are that they’ve peaked with “Take Me
Out”, but hey, that’s like saying White Stripes peaked with “Fell in Love With
a Girl” or Flaming Lips peaked with… What was their song again?
So
people can (and will) poke fun at Franz Ferdinand, but let them. This band is ensuring its reign as a rock n
roll centerpiece by continuing to crank out the rock whether it is accepted by
the mainstream or not.
