Silent Alarm [VINYL]

Product Information

Much more polished, serious, and straight-ahead than their initial EPs suggested, Bloc Party’s debut album, Silent Alarm, reveals them as a band equally informed by taut art-punk and the grand gestures and earnestness of groups like Coldplay and U2.

Building on the arrangements in their demo songs recorded in 2004, the band members moulded tracks largely through live takes during the Silent Alarm studio sessions.

Russell Lissack has forsaken that overdone hallmark of post-punk, brittle tortured-fretboard skronk, in favour of an effects-laden guitar sound that adds genuine prettiness to Bloc Party's edgy rush. There's no self-glorification and no hard-sell behind London's brightest young things, no pomp and no pretence.

Después de leer montones de opiniones negativas referentes a que se escucha mal y saltan las canciones repetidamente, he de decir que el disco me ha llegado impoluto, no salta ni una canción y se escucha de miedo. Styled more along the lines of a revolutionary cell than a band, Bloc Party approach the medium of rock'n'roll with the sort of high seriousness usually reserved for philosophy lectures.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. EX (Excellent): The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening of sound quality. The great single “Banquet” and even better opening track, “Like Eating Glass,” put Bloc Party’s heart-on-sleeve emotions in the service of tight, energetic songwriting that makes their earnestness a little easier to swallow. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

As dynamic as Silent Alarm is, it’s not perfect: Kele Okereke’s yelpy vocals get a little grating on the less melodic songs, and the second half of the album doesn’t quite sustain the momentum it had at the beginning, although the bonus remixes of “Plans” by Mogwai, and “Pioneers”” by M83 help make up for this. I love it that I notice new, small, licks and tricks everytime I listen to this album with my headphones on. Lo digo por si tienes dudas en comprarlo, han debido sacar tirada nueva porque el prensado es perfecto (08-03-2023).

Bloc Party's debut album, 'Silent Alarm', was released in February 2005 and was met with universal critical acclaim. Yet on their debut album, Silent Alarm , this "autonomous unit" of smart, wiry London youth don't just succeed in reinvigorating the artform – they come pretty close to reinventing it from the ground up.

Though the angular strut of dance-floor fillers "Banquet", "Helicopter" and "Luno" may satisfy the current punk-funk vogue, Bloc Party are equally adept at sanding down the rough edges and smoothing out the angles.The Silent Enigma', Anathema's second studio album, was originally released in the summer of 1995 and is the first release on which guitarist Vincent Cavanagh took over the vocal duties of recently. This Modern Love", "Blue Light" and latest single "So Here We Are" are three of the gentlest, most touching ballads to come out of London in a long time.
