Bloc Party’s almost impromptu album Intimacy has digitally dropped this morning, and its been one huge blog carnival since then. You can still pre-order the album here and take advantage of the digital download. That’s definitely a STEAL.
I’ve been listening to the album for a bit and I HAVE TO admit, it isn’t so bad. Not bad at all. Especially “Ares.” Someone has already said that this song would be a perfect remix song — MSTRKRFT again? Justice anyone?

I think there’s something The Prodigy-ish to Ares.
argh..not sure if i can stick to new bloc party…i’m sure they’ve got better albums on the way though
I’d have to agree. This album really surprised me. Based on the singles that were released I thought it was going to be garbage, but it’s actually quite enjoyable.
Still partial to “Silent Alarm” though…
To hmd1987– That’s what I thought after I heard Mercury, but then I heard some of their other songs of Intimacy like Halo, One Month Off and Signs. I’d check those out if I were you.
