After the wonder of their debut Silent Alarm and the disappointment of the next two less-guitary albums, I was never really sure what to expect. I certainly didn’t expect it to be THAT GOOD – and it is. Bloc Party do guitars very well, not so good at electronica. Stick to guitars. The album is so good they got a rare FOUR songs tonight as my AOTW offering.
