Its very good, but not brilliant. I personally prefer the guitar based bloc party songs and get very bored by the slower ones. I dont believe they would hold the place in our hearts that they do had silent alarm used the same formula of slow/fast/slow/fast that the last two albums have. Kele seems determined to persevere with the more experimental slower stuff even though their rockier songs are what they plainly do best. Halo, Trojan Horse and Ares are fantastic, Bloc Party at their very best. But im underwhelmed by the vast majority of the rest of it. 7/10.
