We do dissolute as well as debauched.

Franz Ferdinand’s third album, entitled Tonight: Franz Ferdinand streams at their MySpace. The album drops the 26th. Well, I’m here. And so are the four Glaswegians. My shoe should be tapping. I should want to dance. Or something. Nope. Pretty boring. On the fourth track. Off to get tea. Track six, ‘Bite Hard’, has a little something. Maybe this album won’t. “What She Came For’ ends balls out, but where was that during the rest of the song? Time has passed this band by. Pity that. There’s none of the snap, none of the energy of, say, a Roxy Music in this Brit dance-pop. And when you lack that, you start to steer toward Duran Duran territory. I’m just saying. And come on boyos, ‘Dream Again’? That’s just embarrassing. ‘Katherine Kiss Me’ is not too shabby. Pretty, in a way. OK, that’s it. Fairly disappointing. Trust me, there is much more interesting music out this month.
