Kaiser Chiefs/ Franz Ferdinand

I agree with zorro - the Kaiser Chief's first album was one of the best of 2005, but the last one was horrid. cheesy, gay, just plain lame songs. it was actually so bad that I don't even listen to the first one any more. I suppose I'll check this one out.

I heard a song from the new Franz album today and it was good. Same old catchy guitar dance party pop. Those guys can turn out some good, fun music.

AFA the Artic Monkeys, if by new you mean last year's Favorite Worst Nightmare, yes, it's great. Looking forward to what they do next.

If you like this music, check out The Fratellis if you haven't already. Their first one was better, but the second one is good, too.
