Franz Ferdinand "Our Second Album Sessions Weren't Enjoyable"

Franz Ferdinand have revealed they much preferred the recording of their latest album 'Tonight: Franz Ferdinand', than the sessions of second album 'You Could Have It So Much Better'.

"Making this album was more enjoyable than making the second one," frontman Alex Kapranos told The Scotsman. "I got sick of being asked, 'Did you feel the pressure of making the second record after people liked your first record?' Yes! Gonna stop asking me about it?"

Band mate Paul Thomson added: "We had so many self-imposed deadlines on the second record that the songs didn't have the opportunity to evolve. So we were trying to get back that freedom of the first record."

"When we first started writing songs we didn't think we would get as far as releasing an album. We'd all been plugging away in bands for years, rarely having the opportunity of putting an album out."

'Tonight: Franz Ferdinand' was released today.
