Anyone listen to Bloc Party? New Single - Mercury

[infinitesymphony]

Uggggh... Where are the guitar riffs? Where are the drum riffs? Why is Kele so far up in the mix? Why does he keep singing the same boring scale patterns?

They're playing to all of their weaknesses and none of their strengths, which was my problem with A Weekend in the City. Sounds like a bad remix of a Bloc Party song.

I bought the new album from their website.

I really, really like it.

I'm even starting to warm up to Mercury. Ion Square is probably my new favourite Bloc Party track. Biko and Halo are also brilliant.
