IT WAS MOST ENJOYABLE.

 

although I've seen blink twice recently so every gig now is a bit anti-climax compared.

 

BUT, they played really well, probably not the best I've seen them but the most confident, they played a f*** load of new songs and they were sounding brilliant. I've even seen/heard a few people compare one song to Rage Against The Machine.

 

It was crazy seeing them in such a small venue too, oh and Like Eating Glass and This Modern Love, what amazing songs, it was all good to bounce around during Ares and Helicopter but those slower tunes did more for me last night, you feel more emotion in the performance.

 

Already I'm saying Four > Intimacy though, to the joy of probably everyone, they've ditched the synths.

 

Although it was cool seeing them in a small venue like that, I kind of perfer seeing them late at Reading Fest because it's just far more loud and explosive seeing them take on such a huge show rather than putting that show in a more intimate setting.

 

Glad you're finally getting to see them live Cremey. You'll get to see them knowing the new songs as well which will be cool. Can't wait for the album after last night now.

 

Sorry that was a bit rambling and I repeated myself loads.

By the sound of 3x3 and Team A videos of which I posted (there are others too but I decide to not give in to the temptation), it really does look like Four >>>>>> Intimacy. It may have a shot at being better than AWITC, but no way anything is better than Silent Alarm.

yeah theres no way it could top Silent Alarm, if anything last night reminded me just how incredible Silent Alarm is. I do think AWITC is a really strong album too though, but to be fair we can't really compare the albums until Four has been out for a while, but Intimacy has always been a lot weaker than the others, a couple of killer tracks (Ares, Biko) but overall no where near as strong as the first 2 albums, and from what I heard last night new stuff sounds more older Bloc and just better than Initmacy to be honest.
The wait is excruciating. :( Surely they must release something within a month because it would make it another month until the album release?

I imagine we will be getting a single sometime soon. hopefully within a month.

A couple of killer.tracks?

 

Biko

Signs

Trojan Horse

Zepherus

Better than Heaven

Talons

 

are all 10/10 tracks.

 

I must listen to AWITC again but I found it good. After the first 2 tracks it goes down hill. It sounds great but lacks the melodies of intimacy.

A Weekend In The City is their best for me! And Silent Alarm the worst... I actually actively dislike Helicopter

 

WERE YOU THERE CHRIS?
