THE REVIEW

Masterpiece.
Maybe it's the usual brit-pop stuff, but these Bloc Party are not like the other brit-pop bands.
Their sounds are meticulously crafted, the voice perfectly matches the atmosphere of each song.
Beautiful.

Bloc Party

Bloc Party are an English indie rock band formed in London, first gaining major attention in the mid-2000s with their debut album “Silent Alarm.” Their catalog is often discussed in terms of a shift from angular, post-punk-influenced guitar rock toward more prominent electronic and pop elements on later releases.

 Songs like Like Eating Glass... genuinely make you think you’ve encountered a rock band, if not innovative, at least not too boring.

 The album’s sound is impeccably clean... driven songs, equally fast riffs, and a passion for Clash, Pixies, and some of the bands from the ’70s 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.

 "’Like eating glass’ introduces you to a dimension filled with engaging sounds, from which you won’t 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 don’t particularly listen to these genres because they will find equally engaging tracks."


By MinorThreat

 "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'."


By branjul

 "Silent Alarm is a truly brilliant album!"

 The soundscapes are amazing, drawing you into a new, original, unique whirlwind.
