Note: I listened to the version with the bonus track “Black Crown”
Bloc party scrapped all the electronic elements of their past 2 albums and went fully back to the more indie, post-punk style of Silent Alarm. It’s pretty solid actually but easily the weakest of the first four albums.
I do feel like this is the end of the bands high point though. After Matt Tong and Gordon Moakes left, they were never really the same.
Favourite tracks: Octopus, Kettling, V.A.L.I.S.
Least favourite: Real Talk
