2.0 poorStakis83 | April 29th 22

the score is for the songs I managed to get in. 2 songs in and it feels like an eternity. Generic, blunt, nothing special in general.

0.0 didnt ask to be staff, was made staff anyway, then got demoted for not doing staff stuff | May 17th 22

I must say, the dog's penis on the cover isn't really selling me on this.

3.0 goodTheSupernatural | July 23rd 22

Traps is fantastic, outside of that it's very standard British indie rock. Not bad but not exceptionally memorable

Bump

3.5 greatUndo12 | May 6th 22

Not as bad as many think, near the album four, but feel lack of diverse comparing with previous LP

Bump

2.0 poornnpoc | May 5th 22

Bloc Party, what happened? This is still better than Hymns, but come on guys, you can do better than this.

Bump

2.5 averageRolling Girl | May 3rd 22

Instrumentally the band does a decent job getting a groove together. Lyrically and vocally there is still a lot to be desired, but this could've been a lot worse. rIn Situ, Callum, and Traps are probably the best tracks here

2.0 pooriamwrong | May 2nd 22

SMH. Bloc Party has lost any magic they had left. At least it's better than Hymns.

Bump

2.0 pooriGuter | April 30th 22

Bloc Party attempt to bring the passion and Fire they once had, and it fails to resonate.

Bump

2.0 poorJoshieG | April 29th 22

Crushing disappointment. The absence of Matt Tong is glaringly obvious, there?s absolutely zero energy that surges through the first 3 records. Completely forgettable, zero stand out moments.

Bump

3.5 greatFearlessflyer1986 | December 4th 21

I wouldn't call it boring, but the slower paced songs sound so hollow; no punch to them and especially the drums. There is some good stuff here that shows glimpses of what Bloc Party is all about, and it is MILES ahead of Hyms... So there is that.
