Yeah, it sort of wins best song by default. It's probably a minute overlong, but that repetition gets it stuck in your head.



Oh, and I didn't really hear Coldplay in the lead single. I was initially underwhelmed by that song actually, but the chorus eventually infiltrated my mind. The lyrics are the most CCTV'ish too.



What's the go with Archer? I keep reading stuff about him being arrogant or whatever, but whenever I've heard him interviewed, he seems like a nice enough guy.

I think he takes the whole working class thing too far, at least that's what's always irritated me about him. Don't really have anything against him, though.

I really wasn't expecting all these danceable beats; it was a pleasant surprise. But yeah, that last track is totally out of place.

Fair enough Ali... I think when naysayers feel that someone is taking their (for want of a better word) gimmick too far, they tend to over-react (see Mumford & Sons, Biffy Clyro/Twin Atlantic).



I think you've hit the nail on the head bloc... You just like danceable beats full stop.

Dude yes. You mix these Brits with beats and it's a winning combo for me.

The strange thing is that most people around here know what blocore would sound like.

The album title is a cryptic clue of Hard-Fi’s new direction: Killer S(ounds).

Sputnik wouldn't be very good at cryptic crosswords. Maybe I'll try & incorporate a sudoku into the next summary.
