| | Franz Ferdinand: You Could Have It So Much Better (2005): Reviews |
| | In truth, the only thing Franz Ferdinand brings to the table here are some incredibly catchy songs. | | | Some people-- earnest people, like Bloc Party, Sufjan Stevens, and the Arcade Fire-- will go on trying to fill that niche. | | | Franz Ferdinand, though, aren't going to do that, and good on them: We can only hope they'll go on offering us cheeky, energetic surprises. |

| | His assassination by Gavrilo Princip on June 28, 1914 in Sarajevo, Austrian-occupied Bosnia-Herzegovina, precipitated the Austrian declaration of war against Serbia which triggered World War I. | | | Ferdinand was nephew of the Emperor Franz Josef I of Austria and next in line to the crown following the suicide of his cousin Crown Prince Rudolph at Mayerling (January 30, 1889) and the death of his father Karl Ludwig (May 19, 1896). | | | His marriage (July 1, 1900) to (the relatively low-ranking) Countess Sophie Chotek (henceforth Duchess of Hohenburg) was permitted only after the couple had agreed that the bride would not enjoy royal status and their children would have no claims to the throne. |

| | There are many historical references to that day, including "June the twenty-eighth" and "the Black Hand," the day the event occurred and the terrorist group who did it. | | | After seeing the horse run on television the band began to discuss the Archduke Franz Ferdinand and thought it would be a good band name because of its sound and the implications of his death. | | | Franz Ferdinand have been quoted as saying they wanted to make "music that girls can dance to." This was combined with their art school background on their self-titled debut released in early 2004. |

| | Franz Ferdinand was released in February 2004 in the UK and a month later Stateside. | | | The bandmembers needed a new rehearsal space once their illicit art parties were discovered by the police, and they found one in a Victorian courthouse and jail. | | | Franz Ferdinand's success followed them across the pond; "Take Me Out" became a sizeable modern rock hit, in part thanks to the song's cutting-edge video, which earned the Breakthrough Video award at that year's MTV Music Video Awards. |

| | Some of the reason for said confusion, however, is that against all odds, and regardless of whether or not it's possible to survey such hype with anything approaching sobriety or objectivity, this Glaswegian four-piece have genuinely got something going in the face of the hype. | | | Some of the reason for said excitement comes from the over-eager nationalism of the British rock press and Franz Ferdinand's sourcing of virtually every halfway-important British (and even the odd American) rock band to have emerged since the country went decimal. | | | And yet these are some of the most strikingly immediate and accessible songs you're likely to hear for quite a while. |
