Bloc Party - A Weekend In The City

[lolesi]

Bloc Party have delievered again with another amazing album.

I think this tops Silent Alarm and that is saying something. While alot different to SA, the album still manages to keep the same Bloc Party feel with the lyrics being pretty amazing once again.

Song for Clay, SRXT and Uniform being my favourites, The Prayer featured on Triple J's hottest 100, it also got 8/10 from Triple J and 5/5 in the paper recentley.

A must get!

A one trick pony if I ever have seen one.

Average album - try Cold War Kids or Arcade Fire if you want something special.

I didn't like it the first few listens, but it has really, really grown on me.

lame.......

Mrs bought if for my birthday today, asked if she saw Clap Your Hands' newest there and she took it the wrong way.

Looks like JB will get it back, and I will be left with nothing

But yeah, heard it rawks.

It's ok, some great songs, some average ones. Doesn't have the snap crackle and pop of Silent Alarm but few albums do.

Triple J have just about dropped it cold. They are still flogging 'The Prayer' but besides the occasional playing of 'Hunting For Witches' there is nothing else being played from the album. That is an enormous change from Silent Alarm.

I've had the album since prior to christmas when it leaked and got tired of it pretty damn quickly - a great shame...

it is a brilliant piece of work.

musically you have to be into it. and it does grow on you. certainly they are maturing.

i rate this album, but still enjoy Silent alarm.

lyrically it is a masterpiece

 

[Disco]

I have alot of time for it, big fan

Have only heard it through twice, but the first 5 songs have been thrashed.

So far so good, alot more mature and in-depth than Silent Alarm, especially lyrics wise.

Song For Clay = #1!
