"you could have it so much better" lacked the originality of its' predessor but i don't fault franz too hard for that. they kicked it up a notch and it was fairly difficult to call this the better of the two. the songs do run-together a little in the sense that some of the songs sound similair to others but the list of favorites is way too long to list.

Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club BandThe Flaming Lips At War with the MysticsThe Killers Sam's Towni'm tired of hearing "there are going to be only a few singles on this album". up until uncle johnny, every song is very solid. hits you on both sides unexpectedley. the 2nd half of this album was alot better than the last time around. "hot fuss" was a half remarkable album. the talent was there but it was just a foul ball. the killers connected with the listener better with pop songs like "bones" and meaningful ballads like "my list". i hate when people automatically tune out to slower killers songs. they may start out dull but they are def more than listenable. the bass was toned down in this album but they guitar more than makes up for it. i wish they would record with the guitar being the focal point rather than the good bass. this is going to be one of my favorites for a long timeYes Fragile4.0 excellentArctic Monkeys Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm NotColdplay A Rush of Blood to the HeadFranz Ferdinand Franz Ferdinandmost of these songs have been out for a while and this album is a perfect example of what bands can produce after a few years of good songwriting. the album as a whole is always a pleasure to listen to. everytime i listen i realized how special and how unique franz ferdinand is. everyone loves a dose of brit pop now and then. i really have no problems with this album. every song is original and each song sounds different. the only reason this album isn't superb is that not every song is in your face "AWESOME!". i'm not saying that is what i'm looking for but i give credit to franz for making the album a real careful listen. after plently of review i realize that appeal of songs fluctuate up and down over time.

"andy you're a star" really saves itself on the chorus. "midnight show" really should be the album closer if the killers wanted a chilling but beautiful end great strings work, flowers.. i would say that kind of ending would have been more effective than a ballad. I like "everything will be alright" but it seems to kinda drag along but hey great drum/tambourine work, i'll take it for an album closer. i love the creative bass, that's a finer point of the killers. really every musician is talented in the killers and have good chemistry with one another.Weezer Video Capture Device3.0 goodModest Mouse The Lonesome Crowded WestPink Floyd The WallRed Hot Chili Peppers Blood Sugar Sex MagikSonic Youth Confusion Is SexSpoon Kill the MoonlightThe Beatles RevolverThe Beatles Let It BeWeezer Maladroiti've got to say that this album really flew under the radar of mainstream music. a real downer so to say for a band that didn't deserve it this time around. there are some good catchy songs that only the owner would notice. only dope nose and keep fishin' were singles. the songs stay for the most part cosistent to the 12th track. fillers like "space rock", "slave" and "possibilities" were better off ripped from the drawing board. why make an alright album of 13 songs than an excellent album of 10 like they are used to. "possiblilities" is very fickle to me. why do bands like to put 2 min songs that are just really fast late in an album. (2 other ex:"Nic Fit-Sonic Youth and Broken Face-Pixies)Weezer The Green Album2.5 averageGreen Day American IdiotIt's funny how as time progessed, ratings for this album went all over the board. i have to admit that when i first heard this album i thought it was excellent. some music will grow on you and when it finally soaks in, you can't listen to anything else but this album is a perfect example of how it can bore you after listening to it after a while. this is different punk from billie's older stuff. this is corny political punk. the music really wasn't anything special. i fault billie the most. mike and tre didn't add too much more to the music but it's too bad that green day will put out another one of these public-embraced albums that true fans cringe at the sight.
