Tonight was the third album released by Glaswegian group Franz Ferdinand in 2009. Released four years after the band's second album, it shows signs that great care has been taken over it. Much more synth-dance focused than its predecessors, singer Alex Kapranos sounds more menacing on the tracks here. Altogether, the album is more accomplished and polished than its predecessors, but still recognisably by Franz Ferdinand.

Opening single Ulysses is in the same vein as Take Me Out and Do You Want To, a catchy indie-disco hit. Twilight Omens has a unique intro, and tracks like Turn It On and No You Girls sound like they belong in a smoky late-night club. Bite Hard, What She Came For and Live Alone are more of the same, uptempo indie disco songs. Can't Stop Feeling is very 80s with the synths and disco feel. Dream Again has a spaced-out, disco sound, while closing track Katherine Kiss Me uses a stripped down guitar backing to create a relaxed, country summer effect which belies the lyrics, referring to cigarettes and cider and black.

Overall, this is a decent album with a good mix of uptempo and slower songs. It's less immediately catchy than You Could Have It So Much Better, with fewer hits than Franz Ferdinand, but it's polished and a bit different and definitely worth owning if you like the other two albums. I would recommend buying the special edition, which includes the dance CD of new and remixed tracks, Blood. It is possible to buy Blood separately, but cheaper to buy them together.
