It don't suck as bad? Pull up your pants and turn your hat around, subby.

I can't keep up with what the kids are doing nowadays, weren't they the new old Gang of Four?

the first album is still their best

 
zipdogg 2008-12-10 08:56:13 PM  
1st album = fantastic
2nd album = not so much

/nothing, I gots it

 
Global Citizen 2008-12-10 09:04:50 PM  
their third was definitely forgettable

"silent alarm" was and still is fantastic. "a weekend in the city" had some dull moments, but also has one of their best songs ("i still remember"). "intimacy" has moments that are just unlistenable. kele might like it, but i sure don't.

I liked Weekend better than anything else they've done

I like the Burial remix of "Home" and "Flux" does rock. Everything else is not my thing.

I like it all, but on this new album it's like they said "well I don't want to be in Bloc Party any more. I want to be in Daft Punk"

so they went to join daft punk

/daft punk is playing at my house
//my house

Not a fan of their previous albums. A good friend made me listen to the new one and it's very good. Highly recommended.

I work at a used bookstore. I see a lot of really terrible titles come in. Last week I got a book called "It's FAVRE, not FARVE," a very serious and angry rant about how an alien conspiracy is making people pronounce Brett Favre's name wrong.

Your post made less sense than that book.

You really shouldn't post your real name in your profile if you're going to spew on your keyboard like that.

How did you make it 29 years without learning how to write your native tounge properly?

This is why some animals eat their young.

They hated the prior music, but had no problems going on publicity tours promoting it...hmmm....

I wish people would get over Silent Alarm. Yes, it's a great album, but you can't have it both ways.

The Strokes made a copy of Is This It with their second album Room on Fire and everybody bashed them for not progressing. I have a sneaking suspicion that it's the same people who biatch and moan at Bloc Party for trying different things.

/Intimacy is a killer album
//Particularly Better Than Heaven, Talons, and Ion Square

Silent Alarm = Genius

AWITC and Intimacy both suck. I don't even believe it is the same band that recorderd them they are so inferior.

Or your native tongue for that matter.

 
MrSius [TotalFark] 2008-12-11 07:42:41 PM  
I like all 3 albums. AWITC a little less so, but it's grown on me. Saw them live this fall when they played the Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival here (Yeah, I don't get it either). Awesome show, really made me appreciate some of their older songs.

/always liked Silent Alarm
//really likes Intimacy
///loves bands who dabble in electronic stuff
