They've decided to call it "You Could Have It So Much Better…With Franz Ferdinand". How odd.

October 3rd - UK, so I presume it will be September 30th here

1st single ''Do You Want To'' is out 2 weeks beforehand

Looking forward to it very much. Absolutely smashing debut album so this album will really show how good Franz really are. I've read reviews about a few of the songs and the general impression they are on a par with the songs from the 1st album. Hopefully the newbie will avoid a case of 2nd album syndrome

will it be exactly the same and repetitive as the first one Zane??

I remember seeing them interviewed on MTV saying that they wanted to call the second album 'Franz Ferdinand' or just leave it untitled with a graphic on the front... guess they compromised!

Thought their first album was very over-rated though, to be honest!

I believe that's the point of this thread.. the first album was also called 'Franz Ferdinand'

Initially it was reported that the album would simply be self-titled like the debut album. Singer Alex Kapranos explained, "The whole point is that the album doesn’t have a title. We decided quite a while ago that we didn’t want to give any of the albums titles, they were just going to be called 'Franz Ferdinand'."

He adds, "The albums are going to be identified by their colour schemes rather than a title. The contrast of different colours creates a different mood. We experimented with different combinations of colours and this one stuck. At one level they looked good together, and they capture the mood of this record quite well."

No it couldn't because the 1st one wasn't repetitive. :rolleyes: but I will admit there were many other as good albums released last year that got nowhere near the press that Franz got.

I think someone's been using sloganizer.net to come up with album names.

I hope this good.

Way back when, they said they were going to have all of their albums called "Franz Ferdinand", with the same cover art, in different colours, so fans could call them "Blue" or "Brown" or whatever. Which would have been great for a cult band, but Franz I suppose still have pretensions of hitting Coldplay levels for their third album.
