Both are fives for me. There's only a handful of bands I love more than Bloc Party.

Digging: Biffy Clyro - Only Revolutions

This was disappointing for me & the main reason is overlength with regards to many of the tracks. Only 5 of 13 songs on 'Silent Alarm' were over 4 minutes, where-as only 2 are less than 4 minutes here! And guess what, those 2 just happen to be the highlights ('Hunting for Witches' & 'The Prayer'). Coincidence... I think not!
The album starts well enough & there is some potential elsewhere, but there is also a lot of yawn moments unfortunately.

Digging: Paloma Faith - Do You Want the Truth or Something Beautiful?

How could you not count Where Is Home? and SRXT as highlights? Those songs are perfect to me.

Where Is Home? I ever really got into...SRXT too is one of the more boring ones.

Uniform is my favourite song off this.

Sorry Dave, but we're gonna have to agree to disagree on this one. In fact, if anything I'm with Captain North as I do like 'Uniform'.

Why.

Why is SXRT not an instrumental track?
That is a disguisting waste of what would of been a brilliant song.

Everyone should download the instrumental version of the album, it's actually miles better. ;]

It's pretty amazing; but Silent Alarm is slightly above par.

I Still Remember, Prayer and Hunting for Witches are just phenomenal though.

I take back what I said earlier, SRXT has recently grown on me. And I doubt the instrumental version of this album is better, since the lyrics are one of the defining features.

Also, Silent Alarm is my least fav Bloc Party album. It's just too disjointed.

This is the only Bloc Party album I have and I've sort of neglected it, might go give it a spin!
