Franz Ferdinand, Blood: Franz Ferdinand, Sony, Domino

Blood was initially released as part of a European limited edition 2-disc Tonight: Franz Ferdinand back in January.Thedisc was finally unleashed on North American audiences on its own in early June. As a companion piece Blood would have been a fun bonusdisc,butnot one that would find a permanent residence inside my stereo. Tonight had such an energy and verve about it, that it quickly found its way into steady rotation on my headphones. Blood manages to strip away a lot of that charm and energy and in doing so falters as a stand-alone disc.
