Silent Alarm was great. Almost every song had it's own private, intimate little evolution that no-one dare question. It was a modest little work of art.
The first thing you will notice about A Weekend In The City is the sheer pomposity of it. The odd little great riff is soon drowned out by terrible strings and ridiculously ambitious lyrics ('If we get up now, we can catch the afternoon; watch the Under 15's playing football in the park.')
O, well how exciting for you; what was the final score? No wait - DON'T tell me - I DON'T care.
AND Matt Tong's presence - considering that he is possibly the best drummer in the UK at the moment - is totally wasted.
The very best moments of A Weekend In The City are still not half as good as the very worst moments of Silent Alarm. This is such a shambolic shame. I'd rather be drowning.
This was a progression from the first album...and it did have some very good songs on it though I was a bit disappointed with some tracks. Does start very strongly and does offer something different, and maybe more dancey/bouncy from their previous work but does not continue throughout. Glad it shows progression though from a great band and am eagerly anticipating future work.
love every tune on this album truly amazing BUY IT well worth it
I have always been a massive fan of Bloc Party Although WITC is much different sound i like it just as much is Silent Alarm. But I can's seem to stop hating Flux. I just hope the next album does not continue in that direction.
One of the true great new bands of this decade. And this album solidifies that opinion. Nuff said!
