"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
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.
Even though it's obviously complete fucking nonsense, it doesn't matter what people called him then; Fucking look at him now! He's the best thing to happen to British music in many many many years
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
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.
Best song choice to open a gig with. These are incredible live.
Album after album their music just gets even better than you can imagine it can get !
Seeing them next month on 27th October !

Once you read Less Than Zero, it makes this song *even more* awesome.
Such an amazing book. And this song definitely captures the overall gloom in dread that the book has.

Russell is amazing :D

Lmao, there's about to be a large and violent quarrel between Oasis and Bloc Party fans. I'd really like to see that go viral on the news man :)
if only it would happen
@magillagio one of the greatest moments of Bloc Party's career has to be when they got to announce on stage that Oasis had split up.

There are worse things to become when you sellout than trippy techno.
Yeah, have you heard The Killers new single? I used to love The Killers but 'Human' makes me gag. Its just awful.
