Not a good album, lengthy in the places it didn't need to be. I don't own any other bloc party but from what Ive heard I think I would enjoy Silent Alarm better than this one. I still Remember and Flux however are good songs.
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.
