What is your favourite Bloc Party song/b-side/album Chris? :o

song: tough one proberly, This Modern Love. B-side: Always New Depths or Skeleton. Favourite album: Silent Alarm.

 

also have you heard them mixing 'I Would Die 4 U' by Prince with 'Flux' live, i saw it at Reading, really shows how amazing they are.

SO glad One Month Off is being released!

One Month Off video.

 

Great video! :o

Love the whole fairytale themed thing - Humpty Dumpty bit is great :lol:

One of their best I think - reminds me of Flux's video quite a bit

One Month Off only being released on limited 7" and download, so doubt it'll do anything really :(

Hopefully will boost album sales though!

i think that is better i'd perfer to own a limited 7" than having them in the chart.

 

i dint care about chart positions i care about owning something special, and i believe they feel the same way.

Yeah I think they showed they don't care about chart positions when they announced they'll probably not release any singles after the Intimacy era is over

'This Modern Love' is excellent. Up there with 'Talons', 'Biko' and 'I Still Remember' as my favourite non B-side. 'Storm and Stress' is my favourite b-side from them, the acoustic version especially.

I was listening to Storm and Stress acoustic earlier and thinking how amazing it is, defintaly one of the best BP songs.

I still don't understand how you didn't like Talons at the beginning!

My favourites would have to be Flux, Talons, Positive Tension and Uniform

 

I agree that Storm and Stress is great and the acoustic is DEFINITELY better. So good :wub:

I've gone off Talons now, i dont think it's that great if you compare it to some of the other Itimacy tracks.

'Talons' really grew on me. I hated it at first (too rushed, sounded a bit messy) but I love now. 'Intimacy' rate:

 

07 'Ares'

09 'Mercury'

06 'Halo'

10 'Biko'

08 'Trojan Horse'

08 'Signs'

07 'One Month Off'

09 'Zephyrus'

10 'Talons'

07 'Better Than Heaven'

09 'Ion Square'

06 'Letter To My Son'

08 'Your Visits Are Getting Shorter'

BIKO TOUGHEN UP BIKO TOUGHEN UP THIS WORLD ISN'T KIND TO LITTLE THINGS :heart:

Yeah I think they showed they don't care about chart positions when they announced they'll probably not release any singles after the Intimacy era is over

:o

 

Looks like they'll become a band that'll never achieve any proper success again but still maintain a loyal fanbase.

I really like the video for 'One Month Off' :o Excellent idea :o
