"Stroll past-the queue-into the magazine-launch party, I'm handed-a pill-and I swallow-with complete desdain" This song is so violent, it blows through your ears into your mind, and that solo...wow
I love these guys, but their record deal was a sellout deal, their new stuff like Mercury isn't even them, it's Kele's voice with some techno style trip music to it.
Umm you know they didnt get the record deal on there 3rd album they got it on there 1st. They havent sold-out theyve just changed style. I think the songs that are a mix of silent alarm and a bit of intimacy are sweet. One Month Off and Your visits are getting shorter for example
haha i just noticed your original comment was over 2 months ago...but yeah i love the part at 1:21 and even better at 2:32 heh its just a head bopping song! (yes i said head bopping)
Russell greatest guitarist in the world, Kele greatest singer in the world, Matt greatest drummer in the world and Gordy greatest bass-guitarist and back-vocal in the world! So it means that Bloc Party greatest band in the world!
They went from putting out a record that was good, but could easily fit into that group of new rock bands that were drawing inspiration from 80's alternative and were forming a new genre for themselves, to putting out the best, most original album I've heard in a long, long time. It's interesting, new, and thoughtful. I should also add brilliant.
