i've actually never really been a Bloc Party fan, only liked a few songs here and there.

The LATE OF THE PIER album is AMAZING... I keep hitting repeat and I believe it will land in my top 10 of year.

Yeah, the Bloc Party song... It's like, well done for making quite an unusual song and experimenting, but this experiment's gone a bit wrong. I can't really imagine a situation where I'd want to hear that song: not at home, not in a club... Hearing it just isn't an enjoyable experience.
