Bloc Party is a rock outfit from the UK, sporting eclectic members, big drums and bangin guitars

For no apparent reason or maybe because of the serene cover art, I first thought of them as a much better version of Postal Service, but I must say, Postal Service is quite the rock (yea ya I slept on em a bit)

Actually Bloc Party reminds me a lot more of a band like the Killers minus the lipstick/keyboard Hollywood ish (though they hail from Vegas)

If the band lacks a bit in the melody dept, musically it is so damn tight. I like it the more I listen to it

The cover looks like some work I've seen by Takehiro Hiramatsu

1. Like Eating Glass
what the heck is eating glass like?

2. Helicopter
this is another song I didn't like too much at first but it's safe (after becoming a fan of the band)

3. Positive Tension
"play it cool boy" - those are some slick drums and I do love that openin bass line, song is a bit weird but I am liking it more and more

4. Banquet
very "the Cure", the band's breakout hit (MTV, played on the OC), I loved this immediately, one of my favorite song on the set - video, video (b&w)

5. Blue Light
yeah this song is good

6. She's Hearing Voices
those are some fat drums, song is a bit on crack, kinda angry music right here

7. This Modern Love
one of my favorite tracks

8. The Pioneers
"we will not be the last" - one of the songs that I didn't immediately like but after listenin to Bloc Party for a while, I am really digging the whole album, some great drums

9. Price Of Gasoline
guitar is kinda nuts, ish just don't stop

10. So Here We Are
could be my favorite song on the set, the drums again are real nice, the guitar has a bit of an 80s pop feel to it, it jus oozes hope, I dunno - video

11. Luno

12. Plans
safe

13. Compliments
kinda too slow but there's a good build up, grand chorus
