Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action
by Franz Ferdinand

This album sounds like a Franz Ferdinand best-of, with all the positives and negatives that come with it. Everything feels already heard and re-heard for the band — but at the same time, it sounds really good. The first four tracks are honestly among Franz Ferdinand’s best.

The first six songs of the album are great. After that the album weakens. On a good day you should listen to the full album. On a lesser day only add Brief Encounters.

Cosa potrebbe ancora dire di nuovo o per lo meno di interessante un gruppo figlio del suo tempo come sono stati i Franz Ferdinand a quasi dieci anni dall'esordio ? Dando per scontata l'improbabilità di una svolta estrema, a rimescolare le stesse, poche, carte non si va da nessuna parte. E infatti… Comunque discreto.

Certainly, one of their best works until now

Pas le meilleur de FF , mais un moment quand même

It's not the best FF album, and even it's not an outstanding album, but it's pretty decent, it has a good sounding , the highlights for me are "Evely Eye", "Love Illumination" (i think it's the best song), "Bullet" but the others are quite good also, it's true that there's no really bad song. It worths listen once at least, and if you buy the album, buy the 2cd deluxe edition version, i like the style of it :)

Really underrated album. Franz's best for me. Sure, it doesn't have a huge hit like Do You Want To or Take Me Out, but it doesn't have any weak track, and Fresh Strawberries is an amazing song.

Good album. But its songs are just good enough to be described as "good". It really seems like Franz Ferdinand doesn't succeed in finding back the brillance of their first album and taking the step that might turn them into one of today's greatest rock bands. FF keeps its identity album to album, you can still hear their style, but they can't change it and it feels like they are prisonners of this style. However, this is definitely their best album after their first one. No real weak moment here.

This is a great album that sees Franz Ferdinand return to their older sound (not that Tonight was bad). Impossible not to cheer up when listening to this. I was a bit disappointed by Stand on the Horizon, though. It sounded much better live (but this version is slowly growing on me)
