So what's wrong with being Marxist?

Too many bands cite Gang of Four as an influence these days. I take these dour post-punkers down in Stylus. Franz Ferdinand may yet go down in history as 2004's Elastica (and I enjoyed Elastica's debut far more), but they sound like they're getting laid and have the sense to layer their sextalk over Go4-inspired beats. Which may yet prove world-historic.
