For interest sake. Bloc Party...

I loved Silent Alarm. I loved weekend in the city, but after hearing Flux and Mercury on the radio I thought that it sounded quite bland and samey. Do they all sound like Flux and Mercury on the CD or is it a bit like their old albums?

Cheers,

Personally I don't dislike their new album. Sure it's gone in a new direction, but it still sounds immense. I personally love Ares, Talons, Trojan Horse, not because they sound like their old songs, but because they don't.

It makes for a fantastically varied live performance. Flux is actually one of my favourite tracks live, especially with the green lasers If you want to hear songs that sound like Silent Alarm, listen to Silent Alarm, simple as...

Silent alarm was brilliant, and I think they put on a decent live show at their gigs, although they were awful at Leeds a couple of years ago. The latest album is crap though, so bit of both...

Flux is indeed epic live.

Bloc party ALWAYS pulls in a crowd, wherever they play.

i admit tho, they were SHOCKING @ reading last year from what i saw on TV.

Incidentally has anyone seen Mercury live? It's a bit... Odd... Not too sure on that one at the moment.

LOVE them. Although, some of their songs can get a bit annoying after a while.

The prayer is just awesome though. I could listen to it all day.

I like Bloc Party, not my favourite band but decent. They don't suit out door venues. Seen them a few times and they are brilliant indoors. Put them in a tent and those that like them shouldn't be dissappointed.

bizarre isnt it, ive seen a few people mention that gig - but id seen them 3 times before that and theyd always left me cold, and yet that performance last year i thought they rocked it
