And...the review would be good if it wasn't for the fact that you insulted them for being ridiculously good at their instruments....
"ridiculously good at their instruments" is pretty far from the truth. they play well, but their music is generic and the fact that it is all so perfect and practiced makes it pretty boring.
and i don't particularly dislike this album (or Bloc Party in general), but this is pretty far from the best of the year.

Wow, this dosn't even sound like Bloc Party. I mean, the elements are all still there, but its like a totally different sound. Wierd. I don't think i'm a big fan, it's self imposed eccentricness just comes off as a little bit cold, about as far from Intimate as really possible.

Why is "Baby I’m ashamed of the things I put you through/Baby I’m ashamed of the man I was for you" corny?
Pretty disappointed with this. I just want an album with new versions of Banquet, Hunting For Witches and Helicopter on it.

The problem with Mercury is that it weirds you out the first time but it grows on you.
And I seriously don't get the problem with WITC...far far better than Silent Alarm, but I'm a fan of good production. ^^
But...yeah, neither were the best albums of their years. Not by far.

It was it was it was. This is so completely different though, none of the soaring, rocking riffs or anything, everything here is just weak and saturated with studio effects to make up for it.

I have to disagree with the intro; I never would have considered their early material robotic or dispassionate.
i wouldn't call Silent Alarm dispassionate either, what i meant by robotic was that the instrumentation was tight to the point of it sounding machine-made. i guess that might make it seem a little dispassionate, but i didn't really mean it that way.This Message Edited On 08.27.08

^I've always thought that if a band is making mistakes and not creating a perfect sound in the studio, they probably shouldn't be recording.

some of their songs are ok

Silent Alarm was decent but inconsistent
the same thing can easily be said for this, but im still gonna say this....trojan horse is possibly one of their greatest songs

Is anyone elses mercury in retro grade?

Very much so.

I hated Mercury and Flux. I don't want to buy this. Bloc Party were so good back with Silent Alarm, what happened? I don't have a problem with songs like Hunting For Witches, but AWITC wasn't great at all. Oh well, there are plenty of bands out there.

My mercury's in retrograde.
Now is not the time...
Who could think of something like that besides Bloc Party?
No one. I love this album. I have to admit, it's a new sound for them, but they kind of make it work. In a really weird way.

The energy & enthusiasm shown on the first 3 tracks (‘Ares’, ‘Mercury’ & ‘Halo’) is almost like an apology for previous album ‘A Weekend In the City’. But where that album also started well & then stalled, ‘Intimacy’ is very even & consistent with the closing 3 tracks ‘(‘Talons’, ‘Better Than Heaven’ & ‘Ion Square’) also impressing. And this time, only half of the songs cross the 4 minute barrier. Not quite up to the debut ‘Silent Alarm’, but not all that far from it in quality.
