Remember in 2004 when that little quartet from Glasgow (Franz Ferdinand) rocked your face with "Take Me Out?" Remember how great that self-titled album was? Remember how disappointed you were the next year when they released You Could Have It So Much Better, a record that wasn't really bad, but at the same time offered nothing new for your listening pleasure?
And now, for the last five years, you've sat around, wondering what happened to those guys, yearning for some great dance-rock album you can put on your iPod for when you run or use as the soundtrack for some drug-addled night of debauchery.
Well, they've finally done it. Tonight: Franz Ferdinand is a meaty slice of synthesizer-driven rock fortified by some of the juiciest dance beats this side of Justice. Highly recommended.
You can stream the entire album right now on the band's MySpace page (my personal favorite track is "Lucid Dreams"), and check out the video for lead single "Ulysses" below.
