Franz Ferdinand Album Streaming On MySpace

01/23/09 12:45pm

You don't have to wait until tonight, or even next Tuesday, to hear Tonight: Franz Ferdinand.

The Scottish group's third album is streaming on their MySpace page now.

We got a copy of Tonight: Franz Ferdinand in the CHARTattack office on Thursday and, after one play, the consensus seems that it isn't as good as 2004's self-titled debut or 2005's You Could Have It So Much Better. Your mileage may vary.
