Bloc Party - One More Chance (Radio 1, 18th June 2009)

[ClavisqueFC]

I was skanking to this in Nigeria....lol

[derheldderhelden]

ccooll

[yoelrey]

Bloc Party fucking ROCKS!!! Love the mix between dance and alternative!! Live @ Lowlands was such a huge highlight!!

YES!!

[whytness2006]

hurts me to say that I got bored of this before it finished.....

[united2oo9]

Good song!

[laxattax007]

people are right they are turning into a dance band... its good but i miss the days of helicopter and banquet... now those songs were great :D

[tkelly85]

This went off at Splendour in the Grass. Yeow!

[David25R]

Saw this at T in The Park YESTERDAY :D

...good times!

Good song too!

[boovy32]

Shit Hot hints of 1988 Acid House Pianos

[marcus2am]

Haha, this song is just amazing! :)

Oh yeah and I can play that solo at 2:10 - 2:25.

Here it is:

(Either E or A or D string)

0,0,3,0,0,3,0,0,3,0,3,5,3,5,7,­10,7,10,5,7,5,3,1

Idk if it's 100% correct, but it sounds great. :D

Oh yeah, and I just seen the music video to this song.

:)

[sunshinehong]

Yeahh! Nice one. back to the Roots? I think so. Give me one more Chance to love you.....

[danbrezine]

Bloc Party were amazing at Glastonbury :) !!!

[elmorse]

This song is so sick! The dance keyboard in the background is genius. For any fans not sure about this one, it grows on you. And just picture how hard you will be dancing at their concert when you've had a few drinks in you! Bloc Party always stretches the limits, and never fail to amaze me!! and you're gonna see...

[brentwafc]

cnt wait 4 bloctober woo hoo

[willcapstick]

yeah they did, saw them in january an they were amazin, an seein them again at leeds!!!!! :D x

[boomasawrus]

they looked amazing at glastonbury ! (:

wish i could go see them. x

[adam27pfc]

they looked amazing at glastonbury. lucky lucky people there.

[homeski0]

Epic win, this song feels very summery to me. :D

[jamzskee]

woah, different.

but quite cool. i like how it goes up and down.

check out my channel for bloc party covers.

[28innovator]

That's what BLOC PARTY is all about,SICK!!!

[Lulululuisthier]

Not Bad :P Thats really GOOD! :) I love them ^^

[Raiko101]

Not what I was excpecting at all. Very different, but not really a strong enough track to release as a single.

[scottd85d]

what the f**k are you on about..not a strong enough single to release??? who are you simon cowell? this is a tun eend of story.

[Raiko101]

A harsh reaction. I just don't think it's that strong a track. Yeah it's pretty catchy, but it's pretty much the same verse and chorus 3 times over. It gets very repetitive very quickly.

[brightlyeyed]

D:  .

[laxattax007]

cool :D i think bloc party has the most genious music of, like, all the other bands :D

[sicklervillekid]

i love bloc party great band

[Dorriieeen]

don't wine,, I LIKE , nah ! x.

[Cloudimfm]

Just like another remix, but I like it... It will be good for party woooo :E

[ughFilms]

Good, but sounds like a lot of other Bloc Party songs just remixed. I love Bloc Party to death, but like a few of their songs on Intimacy, it's gonna take a few listens for me to love it as much their others.

[RKEANO1]

anyone know the name of the album this song will be on??

[TheNuKeKid]

its a single

[TheFlammez]

I Love The New Sound Of Bloc Party

Very Post Indie :P

[hiu121]

omg i lisnted to this lived XD

[RVPGOONER055]

way too long of a wait august 1st? its already recorded y wait 3 months? maybe its a prequal too a new album?

[lidenbrock12]

guess in a few years people will realise how asskickin this band really is!!

[MyLife4Urs]

lol yeah by then they'll be done touring

[cubandl]

amazing

[TheNuKeKid]

whoa!!!kele hair has gotten super longer...OH YEA I LIKE THIS SONG TOO LOLZ

[blondecheese92]

i would go gay for Kele in an instant.

[BsEPressure]

This song is awesome. It isn't their best but the more I listen the more I get hooked!

TOP BAND!!!!

[jageiosjgaeiojg]

zane lowe is such a cunt

[CossRooper]

I'm sorry, I'm not from the UK.

Why is he a cunt?

Honest question. I really have no reason to love him nor hate him.

[jageiosjgaeiojg]

In my opinion, one shared by quite a few people, he is just really annoying!

I know we're not going to find someone good enough to replace john peel and its a harsh yard-stick to measure DJs by, but he kinda stands for everything WRONG about indie music today...so overstated, crass and phoney.

He's basically little more than the westwood of 'indie' music now...i mean i have a radio rip of 'delivery' by babyshambles and the word he used to describe the album was 'strong'...i mean what a dick

[aspx77]

pardon?

[PaynesOfHinckley]

why mate what did he do??

[ahXxX]

CHEWN!

[CossRooper]

Moakes has the most awkward pose i have ever seen.

[elfresquitointerior]

Definetly, they lost their touch...

[milkjug]

The old bloc party was better but if they kept doing the same music they'd just be another one of those bands. I like how they're branching out, it's not my favorite music but I think it's cool that they're doing what they want.

[S4V3D]

Gotta respect the bands that try new things. Always something different then. It's pretty difficult to go through a variety of genres. I like Silent Alarm the most, but Intimacy was a fresh sound from what I used to think as a somewhat generic band.

[iKillPixls]

Gay for Kele for sure.

Agreed? The guys become a fucking cult icon...

[helllosailor]

i know so many people who would go gay for kele. i see their point though. hes amazing :) something about it him... i want to marry him.

[punkfan773]

I'd go gay for Kele in an instant lol.

Also, long live The Russell!!

[Loggerathor]

not as good as silent alarm, but still good.

[oliverthomasdyer]

I like like the song. I think zane lowe is a bit of a cunt though.

[Iskra42]

well said.

[shadowninjadelta]

it's good music... but the old stuff was on a remarkable level

[JamieKelly91]

if you like this listen to intimacy REMIXED !

the remixes are good

[taxman2012]

is bloc party dead?

[MyLife4Urs]

you should be shot and hung

[TheBrixtonBoy]

that's really really bad... it reminds me of Masterboy!

[BastardUnicorn]

crap

[meaddy69]

shut your mouth boy

[monaespartana]

wow!!! the song really like me!!! but i had to say that!! i love silent alarm!! i love bloc party!! but... they are not the same thing of the 2005!!! U_U i miss the past of bloc party!! U_U return!!! PLEASE!!! I NEED THE OLD BLOC PARTY!!!! U_U

[tyson703]

i love everything from little thoughts through 2 intimacy, but his just shows hows versatile bloc party are compared 2 other bands

Great summer anthem, this could be bigger than flux =D

[supasyd23]

agreed :D

[lolkaynubz]

I miss the old days

[Adrast]

Me too. :(

[leelee003]

Pretty good but no comparison to stuff like so here we are and tulips

[lnisbett]

90s piano is back!

[bobrobertsoniniraq]

this is good. although, in saying that silent alarm is the best record they have produce thus far.

[danelyb]

I love how bands change their style up a bit.. This is a great song :) I do want to see more of the actual rock/indie band that I first heard.. Blocccc Partyyy!

[oskar092]

i wont be able to wait until august 10

this is so good

[Omegafire]

sounds good , expected little more though

[klasbak]

Great sound!!

I'm suprised, but in a very good way!

[blink182fenderstrat]

ah, i thought maybe they'd present a more- a weekend in the city tune. its pretty decent, but i hope thier new album has a less electro vibe to it. but good to see they havent gottn stale, every album has a different vibe to it, butt i moreso favor their silent alarm and a weekend in the city days. and their b-sides. bloc party at their best.

[killpointpuppy]

I agree, I think Silent Alarm is there best cd. I don't know, all the processed stuff kinda makes their music sound cheap almost, in my opinion. I definitely like the older more rocky Bloc Party. Lotsa guitar too, Russel is a good guitar player I don't know why they don't do more stuff like that. They're all talented but the talent gets lessened by all the 'pop' stuff. Just my opinion.

[Jnovacaine]

expected more..

[SeanFord90]

well that was disappointing...

[aussieboy90]

flux was actually on the re-release of a weekend in the city

this would be on intimacy

[Acolyptic]

Flux was also put on the U.S. version of Intimacy.

[zahrooo]

i would expect something more innovative from them, e.g. like "The Prayer", "Flux" or "Mercury" ... sorry, but this one is not as good ...

[Spennie999]

FUCKING ANTHEM!

[wreck93]

wow disco disco

[whitehdt]

Ridiculous! Bloc Party just keeps getting better!

[simca001]

fucking brilliant, the beat is so good.

[blocpartyfan21]

I think this will be like flux was on AWITC, and be a post release single, so in other words this will be part of Intimacy, not the next album. Great song though

[GTBassett]

Flux was also on intimacy, which if you're correct, makes this one song on their new album.

[cynthiasoka]

love their look

[ChloeBubba1]

love.love.love. this is the shizz babes;]

[BruteForceFilms]

hell yes BPPPPPPPPPPP

[Leandermeanders]

absolute fucking tune

[AmoiNoir]

LOVE LOVE LOVE

[thekillers24amazing]

i heard it on xfm before zane low

[Elliiee182]

i heard this last night on zane lowe aha i soo jizzed when i heard this :D

best band everrrrr and this is a summer tune! xxxx

[bernassilva]

i will see them at 6th august in Portugal! \m/

[sleepwalker187]

i really want djs to play this at clubs is sooo great!

[jwatabrizi]

I love Bloc Party but this is a bit on the dull side...

[dnegel1]

AAAAAAMAZING

cant wait to see them at the in a few months

[hilleyfam]

LOVE IT!! :D Bloc Party never fail to impress me..

[rawlins23]

agreed..It's a great tune!

[bopin3]

Bloc Party did it again, another epic track.

The intro just won't get out off my head.

It's fucking ace! :D

[Leandermeanders]

too fucking right

[RandomRandomUK]

hahah Zane Lowe sounds like such a fool..

[supermanJOEL2]

zane lowe is so annoying

[stupotsoley]

tuuuunage!

[hattasmith]

Yet another epic feat by Bloccers! this is phenomenal just like all the other releases, hopefully another album soon!

[pk550]

It's both creative and catchy so I like it!

[army0fangels7]

They said they were going back to being how they were...with out synth and stuff. GAY

[o0BusterBaxster0o]

best...band....ever!!!

[bigtel68]

Exactly, nicely said

[jamesthemod]

I totally agree. They arnt the same band they were. Its almost like they are trying to out do Radiohead for creating new music. But they are not as good, they should stick to being the best guitar band og our time like they were when they released their 1st album.

[superdanh]

there supposed to be making there next album more like silent alarm

[elixeter]

Now what would be the point in that? They've done that and have moved on...it's called progression.

[adam27pfc]

Tune!

[kc92b]

Bloc Party is the definition of good music.

Anything they make is pure genius.

I love this track.

and the fact their style has changed since silent alarm doesnt mean a thing, if they carried on making albums like silent alarm bloc party would have faded by now, at least this way they have not grown boring.

[lethalthomizzle]

Reminds me of early 90s dance... I like it :-D

[Ben22009]

Well i like it!!! its a natural progression of their sound!!

[MonkeyBoyFace1]

Kele said before they played it "it was just a bit of fun for us really"

This will have to grow on me, like Intimacy did. But, i am kinda disappointed, i was hoping for more guitar too. But, i dont mind this.. its just not the same old bloc party, which is kinda good because they have variety (Y). but i hope the rest of the album isnt like this haha

Cant wait to see them in October :)

[ArsenBridge]

im seeing them in london in 6 days!

[MonkeyBoyFace1]

Hopefully seeing them thursday at a Marshalls gig..

If the tickets i got off ebay arent fake. Im trying not to get excited.. :)

[Caspar675]

to all the bloc party purists who insist that "Silent Alarm was the original and the greatest, and the rawness is what makes it", its called success. Because they're successful, their early rawness has been transformed in a polished act. If you want to blame anyone, its the record industry.

But no need to stress purists, this isn't a new direction, just a bit of fun for them.

[IndieRockOwns]

Agree with Ltjrevival. Bloc Party should use electronic instruments to support guitars, not the opposite. One of their weakest songs ever. They keep making different stuff, but also keep getting more mainstream. There's none of their early rawness here.

[julianwilkinson89]

man that piano is so killer. reminds me of the keyboard in marky marks good vibrations. time to dance!

[slronaldo7]

i dont like it s lot but its good they mix it up

[suricate9600]

i think i like it! i'll need to listen a couple of more times to it, but it's already growing on me. it will make a bang on the 10th of august, that's for sure

[Ltjrevival]

Dear God, why do they insist on never using their extremely talented guitar player. Silent Alarm destroys Intimacy and this song for sure

[julianwilkinson89]

intimacy has SOOOOOOO MUCH GUITAR! you're not listening carefully enough...and theres obviously guitar on this song too...just with effects....broaden your mind

[gustabusta24]

yea not bad but i was expecting a flux ike single and this aint that

[pana619]

not the best thing theyve done but its still good

[bskrep]

very catchy, i like it.

when intimacy came out thought it was crap but it grew on me too.

if they made another album like silent alarm, i would be the happiest person eva :D

[stollay]

i like it, its funky

[thatguynico]

i guess i will give it one more chance. when i first heard mercury, i thought it was awful - but it grew on me and was superb live

[caliagent702]

i dont like their newer songs :(

silent alarm is the best album ever

[chewie0214]

its cuz they are pushing for a different sound thats why...everyone expects them to sound the same! But they are a band that changes there style of music...those are the kind of bands you dont see in the mainstream spotlight...they're music is always the same..especially American music XP sorry for making this long! XD

[julianwilkinson89]

im glad someones on the same page!!!

[bonesout]

Bloc Party is tha fucking shit rocked to them when they were union

[HDBudd]

bloc party is my favorite band, please dont stop with the comstant hits!

but come out with more intensity like helicopter or banquet...

but no doubt, all there songs own!

Bloc Party!

[samfitz888]

fucking love bloc party, u never will disappoint!

u will always have one more chance

[aussieboy90]

wow!

the amount of sounds they have is incredible

bloc party <3

[19GarcialMessi19]

Is It Okay To Say That Was Fucking Amazing!

They Never disappoint!

"This Time Things Will Be Different"

BLOC PARTY THE BEST BAND EVER!!!!

[DASCnz]

haha cheers, forgot to listen to it online but knew someone would be on to it and record it!

[tbwannab]

meh

[kennethchester18]

meh? this is fucking ace

[tbwannab]

no...modern love is fucking ace...flux is fucking ace.... mercury is fucking ace... this is meh

[SamoftheWard]

Meh? This is AWESOME.

[LfcJosh]

Just heard this now on Radio 1. Fuck me is it good! If you prefer their old stuff to their new then fine. Everyone has musical tastes and I personally think Bloc Party haven't hit their peak yet, they keep getting better and better.

[vengeance1608]

Is It Okay To Say That Was Fucking Amazing!

They Never disappoint!

"This Time Things Will Be Different"

Woooop Woooop

[CossRooper]

You certainly can't label them as creatively stagnant.

[ikomplex]

cool for remixs but I still miss their old post-punk riffs from SA, they sell out to modern dance-electronic music just like the yeah yeah yeahs

[whothehellismoop]

Yeah you nailed it.

It's funny one of Kele's greatest talents is writing and he used to nail conformity, only to conform himself.

[darksideby182]

another great tune

[klootmanchester]

Give it a few weeks and this will be everywhere.

Bloc Party are the most innovative and forward-thinking of all the mainstream bands out there. Compare this to cack like Kaiser Chiefs and there is no contest.

[GTBassett]

Bloc Party has been continually going downhill ever since Silent Alarm, While I enjoyed both AWITC and Intimacy, their new stuff just doesn't live up to the originals. Bloc Party is still probably my favorite band of all time, but c'mon, don't kid yourself, their other stuff doesn't live up to SIlent Alarm.

[Superdutch92]

you're a fanny. there's only so much that they could do within silent alarm, they are very capable and needed to branch out.

this is an absolute tune

[LightRadon]

True true... very true... but I still hate to come to terms with their 'downhilling'... I just thought SL was one of the best albums ever...

[dangerestdrag]

awitc b sides are the best stuff ever

[wargarurumon]

i don't like the piano, sounds to much like mediocre dance music

[sk8s4MCR]

its alright. i think it coulda been better if the piano didnt sound so (insert strange adjective). it displaces the rest of the song.

[jonny6554]

I agree, the piano makes it seem like its trying to be something its not.

[projecthp]

i like the change in style..it keeps you wondering what they'll do next

[jacoblofi]

Love Love Love Love Love - why would anyone want them to go back to Silent Alarm and AWITC - they were both amazing albums but they've been done, BP are moving and exploring different sounds and it's exciting!

[danielmiles1708]

Amazing!!!

[aaronsingh69]

i really was craving to listen to this again, I'm glad someone ripped it.

[JamieKelly91]

if they had this and flux on intimacy it would be a beast of an album

[PurpleBunny911]

but intimacy did have flux on it

[stefano55555]

I think thus far they've managed to keep pushing and get away with it. Intimacy is actually my favourite album now. I just think it flows better. This is garbage though. They've gone a bit far now. It just doesn't sound right.

[JamieKelly91]

absolutely immense.. hope they play this at bloctober !

[liamthomson84]

FUCKIN CLASS!!!! I New U wouldnt let us down boys

[Pivve90]

Like this, a lot...

[997ted]

glad someone has ripped this, I like it. I have liked all bloc party songs with lots of synth, Intimacy could be my favourate album as whole, not for the individual songs though.....

[eathannahx]

i love this tuneeeee

can't wait to buy it!!! awesome stuff :o great rhythm, very catchy tune! :D
