Bloc Party: Silent Alarm
built 646 days ago
Bloc Party met overwhelming critical acclaim in early 2005 when they introduced the musical world to their outstandingly intriguing Silent Alarm. Both elitist snobs and impressionable kid sisters everywhere embraced the album, whether for its roughly charging rockers, the smoothly soothing ditties, or a combination of the two. The CD sparked follow-ups such as Silent Alarm Remixed and appearances on compilations and in video games. It exceeded expectations not only because of its greatness but ... since none existed. A Weekend in the City tells a quite different tale.
