PrincessHolly Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Holy bag of balls the new single is disappointing. I thought it was a cover and it took me ages to figure out it wasn't, meanwhile I'd been watching the most boring video on earth.What a weak weak weak first single.Anyone else heard it yet?

Laxton's Superb Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 i like it a lot....an awful lot, im a real sucker for layered vocals like that though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessHolly Posted September 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 No I didn't think I'd only heard it, I really thought it was a cover of some old 80's song. When I heard it in exodus I thought it was ok, but the video just makes it seem so much more boring! It's so boring that they've got sleeping girls in the video!

Laxton's Superb Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 granted the video isnt very good...but ask yourself this, do you really give a toss what the video is like?? eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessHolly Posted September 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Yeah, it's put me off completely. A great video makes me LOVE a song that little bit more. Music channels are on at mine all day, if it was on the radio, I'd stay tuned, if it comes on MTV2, i'll switch over straight away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam 45 Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 I think it is a good tune, only heard it a couple of times though. It's not as good as Always New Depths(which they never seem to play live ). Anyone going to see them at the Carling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lizard King Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 dont like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen B Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Me and Leif are the sensible ones here. It's brilliant and i couldn't give a toss about the video. And as far as i know it's just a one off single or EP rather than the first single from their new album, which is a long way off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 the b-side for 'two more years' is great though. it's The Streets mix of Banquet. the video for that mix is great as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marn Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 I love it, Bloc Party have really grown on me lately, the video is crap but I can't think of any of their videos that I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allstardawn Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 i didn't like it at first, but i downloaded it after seeing the video on mtv2 (you're right - the video is a pile of wank) and it grew on me. an awful lot. download it because you will grow to like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allstardawn Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 and like eating glass. has anyone listened to the remix album yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marillionboy Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Still not heard it....but they haven't put a foot wrong for me so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 The remix album is rubbish.Haven't heard this single yet, off to track it down... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessHolly Posted October 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 The Answer is their best song. I've got a really good demo full of tracks that came straight from Russell (i'm so fucking cool and shit) and there's loads of good tracks they never put on the album. Tits.

The Milner Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 well i downloaded a heap of tunes and to be honest most of it is utter shite.still that song is pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMike! Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 The verse sounds like "I Can Only Disappoint You" by Mansun. That said, Bloc Party can do no wrong for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noir Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 The remix album is rubbish.i think the remix album is pretty good,i like death from above 1979 doing luno, but i'd say it's a cover, not a remix.anyone heard the polysics remix of luno, that good too.

Paranoid Android Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 The song has grown on me and I quite like it now. hte video isn't that bad, certainly not as bad as the newer video for Banquet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowan Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 I think the song is a great departure from the more recent songs on Silent Alarms.. The chorus is a catchy little ditty ..Who cares about the video... If its not "Thriller" or any of the Girls Aloud videos eh who cares..
