Well the first play is tonight (well it's Thursday 4 October here now  ) on XFM. I think they said after 7PM on Music:Response. |

This is very electronic but typical Bloc Party too. I'm not a fan of the verses but the hook is solid.

I'm really undecided on this, but I think I'll end up loving it. The music is incredible and goes really well with the verses, but the chorus sounds like it's from a different song. I wouldn't call it typical at all.

I compare this to "The Prayer". Strong hook with modest verses but more electronic but distinctive Bloc Party sound.

This has some fantastic lyrics, but 'second grade'? If they think this is going to break them in America they are sorely mistaken.

Whoa- this is VERY dance. It's hardcore rave music or something.
I thought I wasn't going to like this a lot until the chorus came. I agree with Will- the verses are ok but the hook is great.

It's alright. I'm not blown away but never really have been by then. The video is horrendous though.
