Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action is the fourth studio album by Scottish indie rock band Franz Ferdinand. It was released through the Domino Recording Company on 26 August 2013 in the United Kingdom and on 27 August in the United States. It was the band's first studio album since Tonight: Franz Ferdinand, which was released four years earlier. It is also the band's final album to feature guitarist Nick McCarthy.

Recorded during 2013, the album was recorded in multiple studios in different locations. It also features production from a number of musicians. Similar to Tonight, the album features more of a dance-oriented sound throughout. The band focused on making a generally positive and uplifting album with Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action. Band member Alex Kapranos, who provided production on the album, labeled it the band's "most positive record", stating that the album title reflects the mood of the album as well as the mood of the band members during the recording of the album.

The album received generally favourable reviews from music critics upon its release. It also had a significant commercial performance, with the album charting in the top 10 in several countries, including the band's home country of Scotland, where it peaked at number 2, and the UK, where it peaked at number 6. The album spawned six singles: "Right Action", "Love Illumination", "Evil Eye", "Bullet", "Fresh Strawberries", and "Stand on the Horizon".

Background and recording

[edit]

The band previewed many of their new tracks at live performances over 2012 and 2013. The album was recorded during 2013 at Alex Kapranos' Black Pudding Studio in Glasgow, Scotland, Nick McCarthy's Sausage Studios and Mark Ralph's Club Ralph in London, England, and Björn Yttling's Ingrid Studio in Stockholm, Sweden.[2][3][4] According to band drummer Paul Thomson, most of the material on the album had been written and demoed at Sausage Studio and Black Pudding. The band recalled having about five or six sessions of recording. Instead of recording all the music at once, they sought out to record different batches of songs over a period of time.[3] Kapranos described the album direction as "forward" and revealed that the band decided to keep a low profile about things as their last album was "tainted" by misinformation prior to its release.[5] Regarding the lyrics, Kapranos said:

the idea of the cynic's search for optimism and the sceptic's search for a manual crop up here and there. I've always liked the lead character in Alasdair Gray's Lanark growing the hard scales to defend the soft inner-self from the world. Socially awkward asthmatic with a self-consuming imagination. My 19-year-old self was electrified. Maybe the album is about how to shed those scales."[5]

Album title

[edit]

Kapranos had talked about the background of the album title in a documentary about the album:

I think when you name a record, you have to choose something which you feel reflects the record or that collection of songs. You also want to choose something that reflects not just the mood of the record, but the mood of the people who made it... the mood of those people when they recorded it, and there were quite a few things that sort of came up as ideas, but Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action seemed to sum it up best. It's probably the most positive record we've made, and the band have been, yeah, the most optimistic we've been since before we had any encounter with the music industry... probably because we've been sort of keeping a low profile for a while and not talking about ourselves too much.[3]

Production and composition

[edit]
Hot Chip members Alexis Taylor (left) and Joe Goddard produced the songs "Right Action" and "Goodbye Lovers & Friends"

For Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action, Franz Ferdinand collaborated with other artists for parts of the album. Hot Chip band members Joe Goddard and Alexis Taylor produced the opening track "Right Action" and co-produced the final track "Goodbye Lovers and Friends", Norwegian DJ Todd Terje co-produced the tracks "Evil Eye" and "Stand on the Horizon", and Peter Bjorn and John band member Björn Yttling produced "Treason! Animals." and co-produced "The Universe Expanded".[2][3] All tracks on the album were written by Alex Kapranos and Nick McCarthy, with additional writing from Bob Hardy on "Right Action" and "The Universe Expanded" as well as Alexander Ragnew on "Bullet". Kapranos also co-produced the majority of the album under the pseudonym "Prince House Rabbit",[1] with the exception of "Right Action" and "Treason! Animals."[2]

Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action features indie rock, dance-punk,[6] and disco-rock[7] throughout. The opening line to "Right Action" was inspired by a postcard Alex Kapranos had found in London, which featured the phrase "Come home, practically all is nearly forgiven". The following line "Right thoughts, right words, right action" was thought of as a "great response" to the former by Kapranos.[8] "Evil Eye" is about the evil eye and all-seeing eye, which are things that Kapranos was very interested about.[3][8] The guitar riff to "Love Illumination" was created by Kapranos and originally thought of as "too rocky" by Nick McCarthy, but he later claimed that he enjoyed playing it. The song was fully written and recorded during a weekend session at McCarthy's Sausage Studio. Kapranos explained the meaning of the song by stating:

We all feel as sensitive to satisfaction at times. We can look outside us and see nothing but destruction, avarice, and boredom. So we look to find that love where we can find it. Some people look to Hollywood, some people look to Blackpool and the bright lights of Blackpool. That's probably where I would look.[3]

"Stand on the Horizon" was labeled by Kapranos as something neither Franz Ferdinand or Todd Terje, the co-producer of the song, have done before. He also called the ending of the song "a beautiful, uplifting piece of music".[3] For "Fresh Strawberries", the band called upon Roxanne Clifford of Veronica Falls to provide additional vocals for the song. The band originally wanted a falsetto section for the song, but they were not able to reach the necessary high notes themselves, which is why they wanted Clifford to provide vocals.[3] The idea for "The Universe Expanded" comes from the theory of universe expansion. Kapranos calls the song both "heartbreaking" and "funny" at the same time. The song also features a heartbeat for a kick drum and scratches of stubble for hi-hats.[3]

The album originally intended to feature 11 songs, including "Scarlet & Blue" (also known as "Bring Me Your Love") which was often played during the band's 2012 tour.[9] However, the band didn't manage to fit it to the final track listing and ultimately left the song unreleased.[10]

Release

[edit]

The album was announced on 14 May 2013 with a teaser trailer video[11] along with updates from the band's social networks, revealing the cover art, the album title and the full track listing.

Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action received positive reviews from music critics. On review aggregator site Metacritic, the album holds an average review score of 71/100, based on 39 reviews, indicating "generally favourable" reviews.[36]

At Digital Spy, Adam Silverstein commends that "more often than not, Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action is this band sharpening their particular surefire indie to glittering distinction." Commenting on the band's future, he says that the "half-sorry, half-bitter 'Goodbye Lovers & Friends' is probably not Franz Ferdinand's very last act, even if Kapranos proclaiming in the final seconds 'But this really is the end' would make one awesome blowout. Although after delivering a record as good as this, they can take as long as they want". At The A.V. Club, Annie Zaleski wrote positively of the musical differences between many of this album's tracks compared to the band's prior work, adding: "Admittedly, these more nuanced Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action sounds aren't as easily accessible; it's much easier to gravitate toward more familiar raucous post-punk ('Bullet,' 'Right Action') or the Clash-reminiscent punk-funk of 'Evil Eye.' But by expanding its worldview, Franz Ferdinand has very nicely settled onto a path toward career longevity."[39]

Writing for Mojo, Victoria Segal says that "Franz Ferdinand remain in robust good health, athletic aesthetes who have yet to break their stride. There's no great leap forward here but the spring in their step is unmistakable. All present, all correct." At Alternative Press, Reed Fischer called the title "resolute", and said that "fortunately, his cruelty translates into charming melodies here that almost excuse the long wait for them."[38] Conversely, Tim Stegall in The Austin Chronicle wrote: "[T]he satisfaction appears sonic alone: Not a song sticks. It's sheer style that carries this disc."[45] Caleb Caldwell for Slant Magazine wrote:

More or less the Scottish answer to American bands like Interpol and the Strokes, Franz Ferdinand, with their du-jour cool and deft combination of insular art flair and dance-floor populism, was hailed by British hype machine New Musical Express as the dawn of a new rock revolution. The band's blue-blazered appeal, however, started to slip after 2009's overly serious concept album Tonight: Franz Ferdinand. Four years later, the zeitgeist may prefer its rock stars with suspenders and banjos, but Franz Ferdinand's Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action is an unapologetically swaggering disco-rock album that refuses to overstay its welcome.[7]
