Best new Bloc Party song

lemonbrickcombo [Edit] [Delete] 30 replies 23:14, 9 February '07

Having listened to the album nigh on solid for the last few days, I believe I can formulate an opinion on this. It's gotta be Uniform, closely followed by On.
Just, that slow opening, then the bass cutting in, then those guitars. So much anger and angst, it's brilliant.

I meant to ask:

which do you like best?

maybe slightly staid

but I Still Remember really gets to me. It'll probably be something different in a few weeks.

...

All the ones they played on CHannel 4 all last week were craptacular.

- hunting for witches is my fave
  
  moodiejg @hollywood_freak | 9 Feb '07, 23:55 | X
  - I really like
    
    the intro to Hunting For Witches & the track starts to build really well... but then the vocals come in and the song just plods... and plods... and plods 'til the end. It's just rubbish really, isn't it?

- I'm quite disappointed by the whole album
  
  except for 'On', which is amazing. so it wins by default

  - 'Where Is Home'
    
    is spectacular. I can't get enough.

    - nah
      
      grundylezimbra @FunKargo | 10 Feb '07, 00:27 | X
      - yeah,
        
        on's wicked
        
        the rest is okay

      - i love every song come to think of it.
        
        especially uniform, it takes so long to build up, its wonderbarr

      - I can't stop listening to Sunday.
        
        I'm not too sure why as it's very 'bloc party by numbers'. Song For Clay has really grown. The first 6 tracks are all good to varying degrees. The lyrics are often apalling but I've come round to them a little bit.
        I've also revisited Silent Alarm and other old stuff. They have so many good B Sides. Tulips, Staying Fat, Storm & Stress, Always New Depths, Skeleton. I've got as excited about them as I was in 2004 or whenever it was.
        AWITC clearly isn't as good as the older stuff but I still like.
        
        Brilliant, Brilliant band.

        skeleton and always new depths are
        
        my two favourite bloc party songs. along with plans.
        
        not heard the new one yet, which doesn't add much to the discussion.

      - I hate to be boring,
        
        but the new stuff is quite cack.

      - Hunting For WItches...

        Hunting For Witches
        
        followed closely by On/Song For Clay.

        hunting for witches
        
        but waiting for the whatever is really growing on me. the drumming is phenomenal in this song.

        I Still Remember
        
        I'm guessing that's the next single, as the bonus DVD has a video for it. A good video at that.

        it's the USA lead single i think

        this album is phenominal

        AWITC
        
        is so much better than Silent Alarm
        
        fullerov @moodiejg | 11 Feb '07, 10:23 | X
        
        Definitely.
        
        AWITC is really quite delicious from start to finish. I can't pick out a weak track really.
