* FranzFerdinand ''planned'' to do this, with each album being distinguished by its cover (especially the colour schemes) rather than its name. However, when the time came to actually title the second album, they ended up deciding that ''You Could Have It So Much Better'' was...well...so much better. On the other hand, ''YCHISMB'' doesn't have the title of the album anywhere on the cover; instead, it has Alexander Rodchenko's famous photo of Lilya Brik with the band name written on it. SoYeah.
