When Franz Ferdinand came out with "Take Me Out" last year, I was confused. Well, more like indecisive. I liked the song, but there was something that always bothered me about it.

Up until recently, that was the only Franz Ferdinand song I'd heard, but thanks to their new single, I've heard another. In the process of listening to "Do You Want To" today, I figured out what it was that bothered me about "Take Me Out" (as it does in "Do You Want To").

Put simply, the songs don't go anywhere.

They grab you and shake you fairly well, and it's easy to get into them. After a listen, you want to hear them again. But then they just put you down and walk away. Maybe it's like going on a bunch of dates with a really awesome girl, but you never get to kiss her.

Maybe I'm the only one that feels this way. It doesn't seem to me that they're bad songs; in fact, they are fun to listen to. But I need a song to take me somewhere, and Franz Ferdinand doesn't do that.
