Anyone got their album? any good?

only just found out it was released on monday, gonna get it tomorrow  8)

Nah someone on here I believe said they are the new Sonic Youth.  A band people pretend to like to look cool, and to cover up their secret stash of Savage Garden, Britney Spears and Slipknot albums.

They're alright, but nothing special, and certainly don't deserve the hype surrounding them.

By the way:

I liked Helicopter, heard a couple of other songs which seemed okay. However, Kaiser Chiefs sound the business from what I've heard - will be investing in their album shortly.

looks like i will be copoying all brothers new cds at easter then  :mrgreen:

Yeessssss. Get the album definitely. I've had it for a couple of months now, :wink:  every song is great they deserve any hype they're getting and much more.

Positive Tension, Luno, Blue Light, So Here We Are, LIke Eating Glass and Helicopter are all  8)  8)  8)  8)  8)  8)  8)  8)  8)  8)  8)  8) .

Album of the year so far without a doubt. A good bet for the 2005 mercury music prize.

downlaoded bloc party's album a couple of days ago but havn't listened to it enough to decide if I like it.  Got several Kaiser Chief songs as well. They seem pretty awesome. Are they named after a south african football team??

Yeah they are 'cos one of the leeds players is from there and there leeds fans I think.

Kaiser Chiefs are good too but not quite up there with Bloc Party.

Id like to like Bloc party but think they're a bit arse to be honest.

and yeovi red doesn't like the arse l  :o

I saw Bloc Party and Kaizer Chiefs in S'oton, and they were both very good. I think i slightly prefer The Chiefs, but as the album isnt likely to be out for a month or possibly 2, Bloc Party is never out of my car stereo at the moment.

My mate says he bought the Kaiser Chiefs album a couple of days ago  :shock:

I've only heard a couple of Bloc Part songs, but i'm struggling to understand the hype

i can t see yet what all the hype is about bloc party, i went to that nme tour gig in brizzle which i didn t think was that great but the futureheads were the best band there. I enjoyed watching the bravery at the zodiac far more, but the album i am waiting for this year is from maximo park who are great, ooh and the coral's new album out in spring.

I like them because They've got the whole loud/quiet thing down to perfection. They remind me of At the drive-in slightly which is only ever a good thing and the singer Kele has a great voice

Every song on the album is very different and it's one of the few albums where every single song is also fucking great.

Positive Tension is unbelievable, has everything in one song.

Something glorious is about to happen

the pioneers - tune  8)

what a band bloc party are! the hype is well desereved! the album rocks! i love it! flashes of old and new mixed with their own unique sound! they are better than kaiser chiefs but i still like the chiefs! does anybody know when the kaiser chiefs album comes out?

I heard their first single She's Hearing Voices nearly a year ago now and I knew they'd be huge this year. They are class, need to get the new album but I'm skint.

Kaiser Chiefs are pretty good as well and I love the new The Bravery single but I think Futureheads are very overrated, they sound like Blink 182 by numbers.

goff boy i think bloc party are djing at my club in april

Yeah love the bravery single that's been playing in my mind all day long.

Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake....

I fuck up and say these things out loud....

Show-off  :roll:

Just to prove I'm not a poser. I liked them when they were underground man!

I honestly believe they're one of the most original bands to come out of the UK for fucking years, even if their influences do show a bit. However, there's a distinct divide between rip-off and influenced by and it's clear which side of that line Bloc Party fit.

Shamefully, I've been so wrapped up in WoW that I forgot to buy the new album so I ordered it today, can't wait.

i seriously think that bloc party aren't that original. although i am not under-mining their goodness

They should have put Little Thoughts on the album, not including it was a mistake if you ask me.

I got both albums and im undecided about which one is better. I think bloc party is better overall but there are a few songs on the Kaiser Chiefs album that are better than all on bloc party.

Saturday Night is a fackin tune as well

enit steve bennet, whigfield's a rudegal

yeh i agree that little thoughts should be on the album. its a great song!

got it today, it's classy :D
