That said, there are a couple songs on the album that I did enjoy outside of the opening track. What made this band great for me was the controlled rawness of their work, which the new album lacks. On the track “Feel the Love Go,” I could hear traces of the sound that I used to enjoy so much, but it feels a bit over-produced and overly synthy. Songs like “The Academy Award” and “Slow Don’t Kill Me Slow” seem to drag on for much too long as Kapranos’ vampiric voice sucks the interest out of my ears.
Gone are the days of my wide-eye wonder and in are the days of my closed-eye sleepiness. But the second song, “Lazy Boy,” felt, like most of the other songs on this album, lazy. It has a lot of the elements of a classic Franz Ferdinand song: four on the floor drum beat, pulsing bass line, sleek guitar riffs, and somewhat nonsensical lyrics - everything a boy could want from a band. The album opens up with the titular track “Always Ascending,” which sets a good tone for the album. It is for this reason that it pains me to say that I did not very much like Franz Ferdinand’s latest release, “Always Ascending.” And so I will forever be thankful to Franz Ferdinand for, in part, inspiring me to take on something that has made my life significantly better. Watching lead singer and guitarist Alex Kapranos strum on his black Telecaster made me think: “That looks cool, I want to play guitar.” I eventually did get a guitar, and I still play to this day. While not amazingly intricate, it did manage to catch my ear. I was particularly taken by the guitar work on these two songs. These videos stood out because of their visual prowess and a sound much unlike anything else I had heard before. The other two were videos for “Take Me Out” and “This Fire” by Scottish indie band Franz Ferdinand. The first one was Alicia Keys’ “If I Ain’t Got You” because it was a great song that introduced me to the lovely sounds of R&B (a younger version of me had a big crush on Alicia Keys that still carries on to present-day). This was the year that Maroon Five came out with “This Love” and “She Will Be Loved,” Hoobastank (remember them?) released the embarrassingly catchy “The Reason” and Jet (whatever happened to them?) kicked out “Are You Gonna Be My Girl?”īut, in 2004, three videos really stuck with me. 2004 proved to be a very impressionable year for me with this program. To an eight-year-old version of myself, this program was the hub of my music world.
The background reappeared in the background of California Gurls.Growing up, I liked waking up early on Saturday mornings to watch VH1 Top 20 Video Countdown.The Just Dance Now pictogram sprite showed the move incorrectly as well, but it was updated as soon as the map was released in Just Dance Unlimited by removing one of the two arrow heads.For the final move, the coach slowly raises her arms down, but the pictogram tells the player to raise their arms up and down. In Just Dance 2, the final pictogram at the end of the routine is incorrect.The Just Dance 2 menu square shows the coach with an orange outline instead of a green outline.In addition, the coach’s outfit was more red than pink, and its green parts were more saturated.In its early version, the background was much lighter (as the fading in the background went from light yellow to red instead of brown to black), the kites and the crabs were absent, and some umbrellas appeared in shades of green and fuchsia.Despite the fact that the dancer wears pink, the pictograms are purple.Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go, which was released in Just Dance Unlimited after Take Me Out, had some new Just Dance 2016-styled pictograms, and every other map from That’s Not My Name onwards received completely remade pictograms. Take Me Out is the last pre- Just Dance 4 routine to exclusively reuse the original pictograms upon its release on Just Dance Now or Just Dance Unlimited.Take Me Out is the only solo routine from Just Dance 2 whose dancer never appeared in Mashups or Puppet/Party Master Modes.This also happens with Big Girl (You Are Beautiful), That’s Not My Name, and The Shoop Shoop Song (It’s in His Kiss).In Just Dance 2, the last line fades off abruptly while it is sung.Take Me Out is featured in the following playlists: Gold Move in-game Appearances in Playlists
