When this album dropped, it came with a huge buzz, a bit like a No.1 draft pick.
The Bloc Party boys backed it up with some absolute bangers on this album. Receiving a Round 1 Rising Star nomination for ‘Like Eating Glass’, the first track on the album.
They then went on to receive Best On Ground in Round 2 (‘Helicopter’) and Round 4 (‘Banquet’), blowing everyone away with these explosive performances.
Being the stars they are, the Bloc Party boys showed us their versatility with tracks ‘This Modern Love’ & ‘The Pioneers’.
A modern classic, this album is still on heavy rotation at my house & is thoroughly deserving of a Preliminary Vinyl spot.
Be sure to catch them live next time they’re in town.
