Ya, I would definetly have to say that was their best album. It is my favorite, they seem to be going into a tech/pop genre.. which I mean you have to respect. Some fans hate it when bands stay the same, others hate it when bands keep coming out with the same sounding material. I'm sure you have or have heard of there remake of silent alarm that is all techo'y so you know in the back of their heads they've always wanted to create or enjoyed this type of music.

Kind of repeated yourself there.

That is true. You cannot please everyone. If Bloc Party rehashed the debut, then fans would complain. They take a new direction and still people complain. I still have yet to hear the new album but i still adore the debut. I think that among the many albums released at that time (Killers, Kaiser Chiefs,Kasabian,Hard Fi etc) they stand head and shoulders above all of those.

Admittedly that is not a great list but as commercial guitar orientated music goes 'Silent Alarm' is damn good.
