4.0 out of 5 stars Unique, 28 Aug 2008
By N. A. Jackson "[na]tasha" (UK East) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Bloc Party are not everyone's cup of tea, I didn't like them when I first heard them, but then again, I don't think they intend to be liked by everyone or that would make them conformists to popluar culture.

Personally, I think that the album is amazing. It has some, what I can only describe as thumping riffs and superb climaxes as well as some more mellow tunes all of which are in careful balance of one another. We're slowly introduced to a more electric side of Bloc Party showing they are able to broaden their horizons in the music they produce. It's not all about the music though, it is the lyrics as well. So if you appreciate the lyrics, you appreciate the music more. So perhaps to some this would be a grower.

If you like music that is easy listening and about nothing, don't get this album. But if you like to dig deeper and enjoy indie music with meaning, it may be worth trying this. Any Bloc Party fan is bound to love it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Forgettable , 20 April 2008
Before I bought this album, I got really excited about it. I had read a load of reviews in magazines, had heard Zane Lowe and others banging on about it and had heard flux and the prayer on the radio (just short of a million times) and there is no denying these songs sound fantastic... on the radio.

The problem comes when they're sandwiched between 10 other not-quite-so-good tracks that never seem to take off and get going. Although, perhaps this could be considered a little unfair as Im usually more a fan of (to quote my nan) "the crash bang wallop" and i like my music a little bit more juicy and this album all seems a bit too mellow for me.

Ive rated this album 2 stars because plainly, I wasnt impressed; owning their other albums... Its not a patch on them! Ive given it 4 or 5 listens and just can't appreciate it, maybe its a grower and I've not given it enough time yet, maybe Im being harsh cause it's not my usual cup of tea, maybe I still feel a little hard done by because I foolishly took a chance in HMV and bought it for twice the price it is on amazon. For these reasons and the simple fact that its not terrible, Ive not given it 1. But it is now, after 4 months of owning it, long forgotten.

5.0 out of 5 stars i <3 Bloc Party, 15 Oct 2009
By L. Bartleet - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have all of Bloc Party's stuff - and in this album they seem to grow up - the sound is much cleaner than the raw energy of Silent Alarm, and I'm not sure if it suffers becuase of that. I don't think so. A lot of sharp cultural comment:

'There was a sense of disappointment as we left the mall
All the young people looked the same
Wearing their masks of cool and disinterest
Commerce dressed up as rebellion' - Uniform

like so. If you liked Silent Alarm then this is for you. Their next album, Intimacy is VERY different so spotify it if you're not sure to try before you buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars I like this but I don't love it as much as some other albums I own.
This is a good CD very typical of Bloc Party. The songs are all good the song that stand out the most for me is 'Hunting for Witches'. Read more
