With their second album, You Could Have It So Much Better In 2005, Scottish band Franz Ferdinand proved they were no one-hit wonder. After the global impact of their debut, they faced the challenge of matching and surpassing that success. The result is an album that retains the sharp, danceable sound of its predecessor while simultaneously exploring a broader and more adventurous palette of styles. From the irresistible single "Do You Want To" to the darker, more layered tracks, the band displayed a new depth and musical maturity. This anniversary release celebrates the twentieth anniversary of a key album of the post-punk revival.
Their musical style is an energetic blend of indie rock and art punk. Franz Ferdinand perfected their signature sound here: angular guitar riffs, tight, driving rhythms, and the dandyish vocals of frontman Alex Kapranos. The songs are intelligent, atypical, and bursting with creative twists, definitively establishing the band as one of the most influential and original British acts of the 2000s.
