The album is notable as one of the very few modern albums that are not compressed to the max in participation of the loudness war. Chart performance The album entered the UK album charts at #3 in February 2004 and at #12 on the Australian ARIA album charts in April 2004. The album entered the Billboard 200 album charts on April 26, 2004, and climbed slowly, peaking at #32 in December 2004. It reached #2 on the Heatseeker chart for new acts. As of September 2004, there have been five different singles released from the album: The "Darts of Pleasure" EP reached the top 50 of the UK singles charts in September 2003. "Take Me Out" reached the top 5 of the UK charts, top 10 of the Irish charts and top 40 in a composite European chart. "The Dark of the Matinée" or "Matinée" reached the top 10 of the UK singles charts and top 30 of the World Modern Rock Charts (a composite chart of United States, German, UK, Swedish, Finnish, Canadian and Australian modern rock charts). "Michael" reached the top 20 of the UK singles charts in August 2004. "This Fire" only first played by KROQ in September 2004. Take Me Out was voted #1 in the national Australian music poll, the Triple J Hottest 100 (2004) and This Fire and The Dark of the Matinée were placed at #29 and #50, respectively. Reception Franz Ferdinand received universal critical acclaim. The NME said that the band was the latest in the line of art school rock bands featuring The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Duran Duran, Roxy Music, the Sex Pistols, Wire and Blur. It rated the album as 9 out of 10 and said: "This album is the latest and most intoxicating example of the wonderful pushing its way up between the ugly slabs of Pop Idol, nu metal and Britons aping American bands. What these blossoming bands have in common is the absolute conviction that rock 'n' roll is more than a career option." The BBC's review of the album said: "At only 38 minutes long Franz Ferdinand may not be a particularly long album, but it is a masterpiece of funky, punky, suave cool from the first track to the last." The All Music Guide rated the album as four out of five stars and said: "Franz Ferdinand ends up being rewarding in different ways than the band's previous work was, but it's apparent that they're still one of the more exciting groups to come out of the garage-rock / post-punk revival." The album received an extremely positive 87 rating on MetaCritic[1] putting it among the top 100 albums rated by the site. Track History: "Take Me Out" is the breakthrough hit and second single from Scottish band Franz Ferdinand. It was released in the United Kingdom on the 12 January 2004 and in the USA on 9 February, both through Domino Records. It was released on CD, 7" vinyl, and as a DVD single with the video promo and a short interview with the band.

how abt uploading songs frm "You Could Have It So Much Better"
Yes, offence!
These bands from Glasgow, Scotland still aren't getting due respect. Franz Ferdinand and Cinematics are getting ready to release new albums!
Listen to both of them real good. No doubt you'll be hearing plenty more in the months and years to come! Believe ME! ;)
