You really think that? I mean there are a couple of really good tracks (Hunting Witches, The Prayer and Srxt come to mind) but as a whole the first one is just way more enjoyable.

borrowing elements from The Cure and early Manic Street Preachers.

Cool, but I still won't buy this. Their first album was pretty bad.

good review! i love 'i still remember' but am wary about getting this, as it is very different from most of what i listen to. is this worth getting?

[quote author=lunchforthesky]

I think a band so thoroughly British as Bloc Party doesnt translate well across the atlantic in the same way as Hank Williams and Creed dont exactly cause waves in the UK[/quote]

It seems I'm going to have to agree here, Bloc Party are just too dependent on having an awareness of british culture to have a true connection with it.

I personally think this is the best album of 2007 so far xo

hmm, i had a listen to a few of the tracks on this album, and i think that the singles are the only good songs, apart from the odd one here and there
i dont think i'll be getting this
i enjoyed reading the review though

Though this album did differ greatly from Silent Alarm, the two albums are both gems and I suggest that everyone AT LEAST give them a try. Silent Alarm had me hooked from the first spin and kept getting better with every listen, that album quickly vaulted Bloc Party into my top 5 new bands. A Weekend in the City took many listens for me to enjoy as much as Silent Alarm, but after a couple spins I fell in love with the band all over again and now the two albums are both on constant rotation. I'm also surprised that no one mentioned Uniform. I don't know why it's so appealing to me but I love that song...

I'm checking this out right now, and I'm just not impressed. I just can't get into it.

i quite like this album; although i think the best 3 tracks the band has done are on silent alarm - (helicopter, like eating glass [imo their best song] and banquet), and it's not quite as good. however i think that it could grow on me over time a bit more, because at the moment i dont really like the tracks like SRXT, Kruezberg and On that much.
i do however enjoy your review!This Message Edited On 11.21.07

Once you get past the first 5 songs which I really like, all the songs get boring, and all seem to follow the same formula of starting off really quiet, then building up slowly, into nothing special.
But it's still a decent album! no bad songs, just lots of average songs

it looks like people either love their first album or love their second.
I'm more into Silent Alarm
