I mean, Gang of Four's vocals are delivered fairly monotone, and FF has a more melodic approach...Gang of Four's guitar lines are noisier and their bass lines are far more interesting...I really don't understand how you can say Franz Ferdinand is a Gang of Four ripoff.
Please enlighten me.

I think I gave some good arguements as to how they are very different. I agree with you 100%. Saying FF sounds like GoF a just lazy comparison.

FF is much more like Josef K. Makes sense - they're all Scottish.

Yes there is.

Crap.

Their fucking fault.

Wow, I never looked at it that way before.

FF makes Oasis look like tough guys

CRAP, with waffles for Take Me Out.

Better than Oasis, better than The Libertines, better than The Kooks, but hey that's not good company.

Their self-titled was phenomenal. It was a record with songwriting expertise and cohesive production that came together fairly well.

You Could Have It So Much Better is a vastly inferior album but it still has its moments, and their cover of LCD Soundsystem's "All My Friends" shows they still at least know how to arrange a tune so that it's a killer.

NOT CRAP, although if their next release is garbage then that can change pretty quickly.

LIAR! I can't remember whether I gave their debut album a full listen but I'm sure there was nothing phenomenal there. A few decent things as for dance music, and tons of boredom, that's more like it.

Crap.
