What do you think of this band?

Sample some of their tunes.

Day Four
V.A.L.I.S.
Vision of Heaven
Kettling
We're Not Good People
Tulips (Don't ask me why it's set against the WALL-E end credits. Just listen to the song.)

If you like indie rock these guys are probably your scene. These guys do the post-punk quartet thing better than 95% of everyone else out there. Their frontman is a pretty introspective guy as well and that comes across through his lyrics.

They've come out with some real stinkers, like this "song", but when they strike gold, they strike gold. Also, their b-sides are usually better than their album tracks, which is frustrating.

What is this? College rock?

I love them, one of my top bands easily.
Got so so so so excited when Four came out, VALIS is my favorite track off of it.
Overall however, their 2nd album is my favorite.

Music Enthusiast. I adore all genres of music, even the ones you don't like, Subway is -blam!- amazing, and this is the greatest song ever created by one man IMO.
If I like you enough, I'll mail you a Subway Sandwich. If I hate you, expect a -blam!- nuke.

-blam!- yeah!

I saw them at Lollapalooza in August. They put on a good show, but the crowd was awful. Overall I'm not crazy about their music but they have some good songs.

It's indie rock. They ventured into electronica with their third album, but they stopped doing that and now they've gone back to playing actual instruments again.

Agreed about V.A.L.I.S., disagreed about A Weekend in the City.

I know Bloc Party fans love to rave about Silent Alarm and that can get really annoying for some people, but it really is their best album. A Weekend in the City comes pretty close but it was a bit over-produced.

I like Feist's work, so I've been meaning to check out BSS. I take it this is a good starting point?

Don't misunderstand me. I'm not trying to slag off electronica. It's not what Bloc Party does best, though, and they've finally realized that with their new album (Four).

Definitely, it's a really great album.

Cause=Time is such a good song.

They really need to play this song live: Always New Depths. It's one of my favorite Bloc Party songs. (It is a b-side, of course. Seriously, all their best songs are b-sides for some reason. It's really frustrating.)

Actually, they did play it live. One time. In 2005. And we only have a crap-quality 30 second video to prove it: how unfortunate.
