Album Rating: 4.5

also i need to send 'callum is a snake' to pheromone

Album Rating: 4.5

i know its supposed to be biting and ironic but that 'gang gang all the way' lyric in 'rough justice' is ridiculous

Album Rating: 4.9

the fact that Louise apparently had to push to get If We Get Caught on the album and Kele didn't like it says it all lol. only truly great song on there



homie is lost in the sauce fr

Album Rating: 4.5

he probably didnt want it on there because its pure silent alarm material

Album Rating: 4.5

In Situ could be a great track if Kele didnt ruin the end of each chorus with the awkward fast section (if youre lollygagging on the way etc etc)



jesus christ hes fucked this band up so badly

Album Rating: 4.9

In Situ live with Louise vox is so much better. honestly she should sing co-lead on the whole thing

Album Rating: 4.9

some pretty decent b-sides on the deluxe of Alpha Games that just came out



Kele is still very annoying tho

Album Rating: 4.5

ill be giving it a pass probably then.



only song i took away from alpha games was 'you should know the truth'

Album Rating: 4.9

I really like that one but If We Get Caught is one of their best ever I reckon



the bonus tracks are definitely around the Day Drinker/In Situ tier tho, everything is great except Kele on them. it's nice to hear more Louise vocals on em too

Heard good things about the b-sides, and now that I think about it, it's worth revisiting the new album again

Album Rating: 4.0

Ooh I never realized Louise did any vocals. I might have to check those b sides when I have time.

Banquet has kind of become a drum lesson standard

I first heard Bloc Party when "Banquet" soundtracked a video to a particularly elaborate course drawn in the flash game "Line Rider"

Looks like fun, might give it a whirl. Just watched the mountain king course on youtube.

yea Louise is doing the counterpoint vox on If We Get Caught



she's great! does the lead vox in her side project with Russell too, they have some bops

Banquet is legit in my top 5 songs ever

The constant flipping between that disco beat and 16th notes is quite excellent

we sit and we sigh

it's so cold in this house...
