Franz Ferdinand: Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action Die Version auf CD in Standard- Auflage. Diese besondere Auflage wurde veröffentlicht in Europa im Verlag Domino am 27. August 2013.

Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action is the Glasgow band's first album since 2009's Tonight, and it's a difficult album to master, yet completely unencumbered by the pressure of any expectations. It is clear that Franz Ferdinand have retained all the vitality, creativity and joy of playing that is still with us today from their epochal classic Franz Ferdinand! The ten songs on Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action have everything the band spread from the incestuous Glasgow School of Art to the world: visually stunning, detailed lyrics, heavy-hitting hooklines, aesthetic vision and an amazing ability to combine artistic sensibility with pop appeal. The album was recorded over the past year at Kapranos Studios in Scotland, McCarthy's Sausage Studios in London, Club Ralph and during several trips to Stockholm and Oslo. Asked to comment on the album, Alex Kapranos replies: "Intellect vs. soul performed by some stupid band." On his Twitter account, he did write something like "The last bastard of British pop", which sounds better, but he's clearly had enough. But whatever he's trying to tell us, maybe it's a nod to the album's lyrics, which are now more poetic than ever. The fact is that Franz Ferdinand have hit the nail on the head again with the album title. After the bursting of the new economy bubble at the beginning of the millennium, we were still in the mood for salmon fish bubbles out of sheer defiance, but now the world is crying out for Right Thoughts, Right Words and above all Right Actions! Product information Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action, the fourth studio album by Franz Ferdinand, will be released on Domino Records. This lively, unencumbered record is the Glasgow band's first release since 2009's Tonight. They seem to have rediscovered the imagination, vitality and fun found on their classic debut Franz Ferdinand. Recorded over the past year at Kapranos' Scottish studio and McCarthy's Sausage Studios in London, the record cements their status as a unique and adventurous British band: buoyed by a decade of global success, but still bold and defiant. It's an ecstatic rejection of the drab conventions that often accompany this level of attention and expectation. When Kapranos was asked for a quote, he came up with the following, "The Intellect Vs The Soul, played out by some dumb band. "* God knows what it means, but the lyrics come across as more poetic this time. The ten songs that make up Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action take what Franz Ferdinand took from the incestuous world of the Glasgow School of Art to the rest of the world - the painterly details of the lyrics, the heavy hooks, the precise aesthetic vision and the uncanny ability to combine archaic artistic sensibilities with pop punch - and take them even further. The breadth of influence, musicianship and invention here is immense. If this record is unmistakably Franz Ferdinand, it's because of its sonic audacity and finely honed eclecticism, as well as the timeless songwriting talent that has long been their calling card. Franz Ferdinand are still Alex Kapranos, Nick McCarthy, Bob Hardy and Paul Thomson. There's still no one like them." (dominorecordco. com) Review , "Franz Ferdinand found their sound early, and as long as they're still writing such infectious, danceable songs, there's no reason to change it." (stereoplay, September 2013) , "Franz Ferdinand have (...) successfully returned to their core business." (musikexpress, September 2013) , "Their ,,Right Action", which opens their fourth album, sounds outrageously upbeat again." (Rolling Stone, September 2013) , "The Scots also rock out on their new CD." (Stereo, October 2013) , "For the second time in a row, four years after the release of the previous album. It's all the more surprising that the Scottish quartet has retained the vitality, playfulness, creativity and freshness that characterised their 2004 debut on their fourth LPm, Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action."
