Kele Okereke's "The Boxer" - Music Review

[PrestonCopter]

oh, and also Yesterdays Gone, really connected with that one lol

[PrestonCopter]

Unholy Thoughts to me is the most bloc party sounding track on the album, coming from a huge bloc-head myself, and is probably my fav. Everything You Wanted and New Rules are pretty great lyrically, and Walk Tall is just great music to get amped up too haha

[leemcmullanisapimp]

nice vid man.. i love him.. i love bloc party. huge inspiration.

[frankehanna]

I really like on the lam

"club music sounding" wow fucking insightful

[chazridley]

"Unholy Thoughts" is probably my least favourite, it's probably the most generic, certainly the least original. I'm a massive Bloc Party fan, love all 3 of their albums. Kele's solo album is my favourite album of the year so far. Real variety in the album that a lot of artist can't pull off without screwing up the album's flow.

Personal favourites are "Rise" (the gorgeours build into a screaming, ripping electro-dance section), "The New Rules" and "Yesterday's Gone" (love the lyrics).

I agree that "Unholy Thoughts" was probably the most 'Bloc Party' lick on there,

my favorite was "The New Rules" I'm truly a sucker for acoustic and the live version

from beobloe had me wanting to marry kele!

I know Gordy is doing Young Legionnaire or something like that,

Russell is doing the Pin Me Down,

and Matt is doing absolutely nothing, but i wish he would!

All of them are so talented, but Kele has taken the biggest plunge,

so he will end up being the most successful out of the four.

Everything you wanted makes me cry every time I listen to it - awesome, gives me the shivers! can't wait to see him perform live in November

[xJoJoChopsueyx]

Dude...be my friend. I've seen your videos all over and now this? Kele?! You're awesome!

[Milchproduktion04]

[ErickWithNoK]

@Milchproduktion04 Why would Kele be reviewing his own album?

[mervz999]

@ErickWithNoK i review my own albums....

[may00007777]

Hey Erick Russell is actually making a side project called "Pin me Down". Look on the Bloc Party website. Btw i like your reviews but i liked your intimacy one better. Gotta say though i hope they come back together. I really like Everything you wanted.

[zoshisama]

How did I miss this?! I love Bloc Party! Thanks for the review. Going to buy it now!

[xNiC0L3i4Nx]

i saw bloc party in aberdeen (scotland). kele climed onto the balcony and i touched his butt.

[Xeres4belgium]

I agree on unholy thoughts! Lovely Bloc Party like song! I think The intro also makes Rise an interesting song, besides the strong lyrics! Does anyone know where to find lyrics for all of the songs on the album?

[Xeres4belgium]

[Mreyrey]
