ONE love, blood, life
I like "Halo" a lot, although its probably not one of the standouts.
Funny, I was just reading about this.
I don't like that Ion Square is no longer the final song on the album. I'm hoping they are just looking at the other songs as bonus tracks, but then again, Talons is inserted before it, so who knows.
"Ion Square" should close out the CD, also what the heck is "Flux" doing there? Didn't they rerelease AWITC with Flux on it?
I didn't do the pre-order. I simply waited to buy it in the local store for only $10.
I'm curious if the version in the stores is the same as the pre-order. My CD has remixes of both Mercury and Talons at the end of it, in addition to the other four bonus tracks (not including the original version of Talons, which is Track 9).
Hmm, I didn't have remixes on mine. Just 3 bonus tracks, Letter To My Son, Your Visits Are Getting Shorter, and Flux. Where did you get it, maybe it's a location specific type thing (Best Buy does that sort of thing)?
The "physical album" is identical except Talons is now in the actual tracklist (right after Zephyrus I believe).
Hmmmm. Import possibly? I not knowz.
Aww Bloc Party always has great b-sides, hopefully they don't diminish.
Also, go to Bloc Party Music Profile on IMEEM and check out their free New York concert at the Roseland from last month.
This album is a grower. I reckon it lacks the cohesion of A Weekend In The City and the down-to-earth "indie" factor that made Silent Alarm appealing, but some of these tracks are top notch.
Well, lyrically, I think it's Kele's most cohesive album. Relationships and the theme of becoming a couple, growing apart, losing someone, and breaking-up runs throughout the entire album. It's very tight and direct in that respect.
It's hard for me to decide because Intimacy never drags for me like A Weekend In The City does in the 2nd half, but then some of the songs on Intimacy don't have strong melodies to me like the best tracks off AWITC, and of course, nowhere near the brilliant melodies and tunes of Silent Alarm's tracks. Though, IMO, Silent Alarm is about 2 to 4 songs too long.
I still think they have yet to make their "perfect" album.
