Without looking at or checking anything else, the immediate thing that shouts out to me is that it's a critics opinion of what the album is. It is mentioned as a quote, you don't say who the critic is, and you don't attribute this information to a source (as far as I can see). The hook given says it "is" a concept album, whereas the lead you write "loosely based on". But the quote you give says "covers all its bases". I'm generally confused as to who has decided that it is a concept album. Ferdinand doesn't appear to say this, nor anyone involved with the project. Concept albums usually garner a lot of interest which results in more than just one critic saying that it "covers all its bases" in a drunken night out and the after effects. I also don't see how "The line "come on, let's get high" from "Ulysses", the album's first track, reveals this theme." can set the tone or describe the overall feel from one line in one song, as a concept album is more than just about one song, it's about a collective composition tackling different issues or addressing them. I'm not convinced that this is well researched or that it is well placed. And to be honest, I think it's a really boring hook. Loads of people do concept albums.

Tonight: Franz Ferdinand

ALT1: ... that Franz Ferdinand's third studio album Tonight: Franz Ferdinand was partially recorded at the old town hall of Govan, Scotland?
