Songs like Like Eating Glass... genuinely make you think youâve encountered a rock band, if not innovative, at least not too boring.
The albumâs sound is impeccably clean... driven songs, equally fast riffs, and a passion for Clash, Pixies, and some of the bands from the â70s Madchester scene unmistakably emerge.
Bloc Party skillfully mixes the various inspirations and ultimately emerge as one of the most original groups from the recent rock scene.
It is at once cultured, complex, and fun.
"âLike eating glassâ introduces you to a dimension filled with engaging sounds, from which you wonât want to leave."
"This album is indispensable in the collections of all emo-core and indie-rock followers but can also be appreciated by those who donât particularly listen to these genres because they will find equally engaging tracks."
"Silent Alarm. A dark and promising title, and at times even unsettling."
"At the end of the listening session, only one adjective can run through our minds: 'dramatic'."
"Silent Alarm is a truly brilliant album!"
The soundscapes are amazing, drawing you into a new, original, unique whirlwind.
