The Official Bloc Party Thread (lyrics, lead singer, indie, pop)

agree with everything you just said. i like can keane, theres no denying that, and i also think coldplay are absolute masters of their snoozy trade. they make embrace and athlete resemble mere amateurs.

Oh yeah and in answer to the question, since this is a Bloc Party discussion, are they not edgy, and slightly sinister (have you seen the guitarist, for Chrissake!)? I think so, and even if, as UH says, they are recycling the glory of their elders is that not better than listening to Embrace's Ashes and Athlete's Wires coming form every festival amplifier... This reporter says: Yes, yes it is... Back to you in the studio, Kent..

...if you look back, ive said i really like bloc party. and yea, as i also said, the album sounds edgy. which i like. of course theres still bands with the sinister edgy thing going on- thank the lord. just in a broader sense, its not the indie norm at present. to me anyway.

Embrace make me want to puke , It`s almost like they had a band meeting

"Oh no , nobody likes Oasis anymore what are we going to do"
"Let`s sound like some other bands tribute act instead, Coldplay are quite popular these days"
"Great idea , It already worked for Snow Patrol.Lets rip off Coldplay now instead of Oasis"

HEY! Don't insult the Patrol! Final Straw is an excellent, emotive and varied LP... That sounds like they're ripping off Coldplay.

Still they do it infinitely better than Embrace, who actually copy Coldplays videos and evrything! Seriously, look at Ashes! With the mute button on, obviously.
