I absolutely love Bloc Party's first two albums...but the new single doesn't bode well for the third. What happened to that combination of Gang-of-Four/Wire style guitar lines and old skool shoegazing? This sounds like a load of tuneless drum'n'bass gubbins.  At least the video has some monkeys in it. |

First two albums are both great.
"So Here we Are" probably my favourite song from the first album...

What do you make of the new Verve song ?
I actually think this live version at glastonbury is better than the studio version.

That remix of Where Is Home by Burial is great because it no longer sounds like Where Is Home by Bloc Party.

loved Silent Alarm (and the remixed album) but not a massive fan of this to be honest.

It's a pile of pap. Never been much for Bloc Party to be honest, with the exception of Helicopter.

i love bloc party especially their last album but this new single doesnt do it for me at all, i understand they are trying to be ahead of the game by being experimental but this doesnt work.
