Don't listen to the confusion, COBL. They're all good and have their high points and mis-steps.
Did you all like Intimacy? And what about Silent Alarm remixed?

. . . Flux as well even though its inclusion made no sense.
Its not really a bonus version, its just the physical release included those, I don't there are any CDs out there without them, Flux as well even though its inclusion made no sense.
Just how good is the ending to Positive Tension?? Fucking rocks.
Sorry. You're going to be getting some more bumps as I keep getting into this album
Intimacy [...] has some cracking tunes [...]
Huge fan of Silent Alarm, don't understand why these guys haven't risen with the likes of bands like Kings of Leon, Killers, etc.
Banquet, Like Eating Glass, Helicopter, and She's Hearing Voices make that album one of my top 10 of this decade.
I didn't do a Top Ten song listing for 2008, but if I did, Ion Square probably would've been number one.
from what I've heard so far they eclipse both of those bands.

I hate to draw the comparison, but --
live in concert, when they're "on", I think they're like U2, they just blow the competition AWAY! as great as they can be on the albums, live is where they truly shine.
I haven't seen them live, though have kept deliberating on getting tickets. only for them to be sold out.
I did see some DVD with them playing 4 tracks from Silent Alarm at some club somewhere, and I was very unimpressed. The tunes didn't have the explosive and ethereal quality that the studio versions offered. The songs featured were Banquet, She's Hearing Voices (which I've never liked much) and the timeless Banquet and So Here We Are. Mind you, this was only from watching a DVD, but it bored me.
Of course, seeing them in person would be a completely different kettle of fish, but if this DVD was supposed to sell me the need to see Bloc Party live, it failed miserably.
