Bloc Party: Helicopter

by Sean Adams
Hip gunslingers Bloc Party follow potential single(s) of the year (parts I and II) with a horizon-blazing, saddle-slashing blast from their debut album.

It sounds like… cowboys. Why cowboys? Why not? The shirts and boots are as hot right now as the BP boys who’re currently blowing up in all the cool corners of America and the ICE COLD chambers of Europe.

‘Helicopter’ is a rally cry, a call to arms against all those accepting fools sitting still. They’re shootin’ doubters at dawn and having breakfast with Scandinavian beauties. Sounding like yet more guitars tumbling into space. Fresh and inventive. Alsorts’a buzzing, vocal ghosts swooping and topped with big dollops of horse chase bass. Those oft’ off key, perfection back-tracking, backing vocals are cased in fuzz.
Are you happy for a new world?

Get your nodding dog head on, burn your MSP cds, discard your pretender-hipster yankie fad bands, and take this, and party. Yeehaw!

Banquet was excellent, this is merely very good. Still very good though.

Bloc Party - Belicopter

Bloc Party - Helicopter

Bloc Party - Helicopter

Bought this yesterday, if only for the memory of Kele knocking his own mic off the stand followed by a ridiculously large grin. Great track...

Bloc Party - Helicopter

This has grown on me like some horrible swelling. I might even buy it in a couple of days.

Bloc Party - Helicopter

Helicopter is good, but everyone must buy the single instead of downloading it and then you will hear, what i believe to be, the best Bloc Party song ever called Always new depths......

Bloc Party - Helicopter

I do love this song and yes always new depths is also very good. I'm in danger of over-playing this and getting sick of it but i just can't help myself. Can't wait for the album

Bloc Party - Helicopter

Long live Bloc Party!! May they continue on their road to even more great things. Kele seemed such a nice person when i spoke to him, added to the lovely political persuasions of the drummer, means that they deserve it all (in my humble opinion anyway).
