FranzFeb Week One: Favorite Album(s)

franzfeb week 1: favorite album

ychismb you mean soooo much to me… this is alec, my oc for the album nyehehhe. they were the first franz oc i made and i still really like them!!! all my franz ocs will have lore at some point. when i make them all. someday.

anyways loooord i adore this album!!! i wish i could have captured the aesthetic better but my mind is so barren of ideas at the moment. but speaking of aesthetics… ychismb imo is where they peaked in terms of that UGH it has such a good aesthetic!! thats why ill forever be angry with what they did for the anniversary like… the palette is so iconic why are we turning everything into self titled. this is not self titled. go away. but ive ranted enough for such a post lalalla

So I couldn’t decide which album to do. Haha. So I just did all of them! So this week, I offer these:

Why this beauty, of course:

If she has no defenders I'm dead, etc., etc..

Memes aside, lol, Franz' work is remarkably consistent and while all their albums have great material, but there's just something special about Tonight. It comes together as a single cohesive unit in a way that their other records just don't quite hit. Plus, I have so many good memories attached to it and this era, so it really means a lot to me.

Also, Band Commentary Tracks my beloved.

Runners-Up:

As I said, Franz is crazy consistent, so the gulf's between their albums (to the extent they exist for me) are fairly small. With that in mind, I gotta give a couple other records their due.

RTRWRA contains nothing but bangers* and is one of the most listenable (for lack of a better term) albums I've come across. No skips and such a breeze to play front to back, over and over. In fact, I've listened to it so much without realizing that it'd be my second most played album on Last.fm (behind Tonight, of course) were it not for Spotify's fuck-ass tagging. But, alas.

Yes, technically, FFS is its own, separate thing, but fuck it, I'll take any opportunity I can to give it love because it is criminally underrated. Like that groove on "So Desu Ne" is filthier than it has any right to be, what do you mean it's a just deep cut and not some massive hit single? Preposterous! Bonkers! Also, bonkers? The fact that this record is nearly eleven years old. What the hell is time anymore?
