Posted February 6, 200718 yr Listened to this a couple of times and I must say it is a masterpiece. This one is instant unlike Silent Alarm which was a bit of grower ^_^ Every track is great but my favourite at the moment is 'I Still Remember', and 'Sunday', 'Hunting For Witches', 'Kreuzberg and Waiting For The 7:18' are also big standouts too. :D It definitely deserves all the 5/5 reviews but it'd be unfair to call it 'The new OK Computer' just yet :lol:
February 6, 200718 yr Gotta agree with this, but for me 'The Prayer' and 'Uniform' ruin it slightly. The rest is great.
February 6, 200718 yr Author Well here's my favourite track which should hopefully be the next single here ^_^ (It's already got a video because it was the lead single in America for anyone who doesn't know ;) ) Bloc Party - I Still Remember :wub: [flash=450,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0wcnKOfsu0.swf
February 6, 200718 yr I don't have the previous album of Bloc Party's seeing as I wasn't very keen on the singles at all. However, I think 'The Prayer,' is great and was very instant, I have just listened to 'I Still Remember,' and it doesn't seem as instant as 'The Prayer,' but it seems okay, if it grows chances are I shall probably get this album. :D Edited February 6, 200718 yr by TheOrdinaryArcticBoy
February 7, 200718 yr It definitely deserves all the 5/5 reviews but it'd be unfair to call it 'The new OK Computer' just yet :lol: however it has got some average to awful reviews in the press as well inc. a 1 star from a sunday paper so compare to OK Computer where does it rate if thats a 5?
February 7, 200718 yr Author "I Still Remember" next UK single ;) Couldn't agree more with that choice :cheer: (obviously)
February 7, 200718 yr I bought this album today and I'm glad I did, it's fantastic! Definitely more instant than 'Silent Alarm', I could even like this one more. :o The only tracks on here that are bringing it down for me at the moment are 'Uniform', 'Kreuzberg' and 'SRXT', but apart from that... mindblowing. :o :wub:
February 7, 200718 yr I've decided that I'm going to gamble on this one and get the album anyway, it can't be that bad seeing as I know there are two tracks that I definitley like and from clips I've heard it sounds like a fairly good album. :D
February 7, 200718 yr I really like this now after a few listens, i'd recommend this to anyone who was thinking of buying it :D
February 7, 200718 yr I really like this now after a few listens, i'd recommend this to anyone who was thinking of buying it :D Is it different to their debut at all seeing as I only heard the singles from that but wasn't very keen? :lol:
February 7, 200718 yr Is it different to their debut at all seeing as I only heard the singles from that but wasn't very keen? :lol: Hmm they sound quite similar to me, but thats my personal opinion. I still prefer Silent Alarm over this and i've seen that around for about £3.99 :P
February 7, 200718 yr Hmm they sound quite similar to me, but thats my personal opinion. I still prefer Silent Alarm over this and i've seen that around for about £3.99 :P If I decide that I like this album I will probably buy their debut anyway. :D
February 8, 200718 yr Author Buy it Liam! :cheer: I'm disappointed it looks like MIKA is going to keep it off :( Infact I feel REALLY annoyed by it for some reason :wacko:
February 9, 200718 yr I bought this album on Monday and I didn't like it at all. After a few listens its really growing on me. Nothing compared to Silent Alarm, which was fantastic. I heard a live version of Uniform last year and the album version isn't as good. Its growing on me though. The Prayer weren't an instant with me unlike Banquet was, but its a very good song. My favourite off the album is I Still Remember.

March 19, 200718 yr Normally find them utterly boring and only good for sending me to sleep but I must say I love the new single 'I Still Remember' actually made me buy the CD - really good album I suppose though I can't compare it to the debut but half of the songs on here are much better than the $h!te they put out as singles from 'Silent Alarm'.
March 19, 200718 yr Silent Alarm is great in my opinion - I think the new one is the grower not the other way round. I'm liking it though.
