Maybe if you're talking about overall aesthetic vision. But as far as songcraftmanship and playing abilities go, they ARE as good.

didn't realize their line-up had changed - guitarist left and they got a new guitarist, they also added a keyboard player - and was very confused by that picture

Kapranos looks like Dave Mustaine. That is one weird photo.
― grawlix (unperson), Friday, 19 May 2017 17:26 (six years ago) link
Now way am I buying that Kapranos is only 27 years old

the joke is that when they were emerging in 2004 his age was - i suppose intentionally and possibly out of vanity - given as 27 when he was in fact in his early 30s at the time.

Pretty fun! The B-side is getting WAY more plays on Spotify though.

Good track! Video reminiscent of low budget OK Go.

I liked their first and third albums a lot; will listen to the best-of to see what I missed otherwise.

Still love that debut, and I remember loving at least half of the second one quite a bit. (Sadly the best song on it, "Eleanor Put Your Boots On," doesn't appear to be on the compilation. It sounds like a great, lost Ray Davies/Kinks track from the late '60s.)

i played the FF vs Mclaren bootleg last weekend at local DJ thing, and yeah, it still hits the spot.

xp I didn't realize it was re-recorded later on for its single release.
Don't like it, prefer the original album version.
