A melancholy riff that hooks you. Bittersweet progressions that make your walk to the shops feel like a poignant scene in an art house film. The cymbals chime. The bassline twists. A building jam into mad Cure-crazy drums. Explosive vocals that you can't decipher but nonetheless believe. It all comes together to form a song that fills you up and nourishes you; makes you feel warm during the last of the winter months. Makes you feel that every moment is special and profound.
'Positive Tension traverses an altogether different landscape. It is a strange pastiche of Everything Happening in Indie Right Now that demonstrates how good the A-side is in comparison. The die-hards will undoubtedly love it, though.

I guess it's the one with the most commersial appeal.

"Silent Alarm's not 100% filler-free - the forgettable 'So Here We Are' could have slipped out the back with little protest "
so do you like it or not !
personally i thought it was ok, but not as good as the other stuff iv heard
Re: Bloc Party - So Here We Are
Personally I think it's really good, one of my favourite Bloc Party songs that I've heard so far. Quite looking forward to the album now.
Re: Bloc Party - So Here We Are
We do quality control what is bigged up and what isnt to some degree (otherwise our recommendations could be very patchy and sprawling, and obviously that means things tend to become a little populist on a wee micro level or fit into a bit of a homogenised taste spectrum) but when it comes down to personal feelings about a band or a song, the diversity of all of our readers is the same as the diversity of all of our writers. And long may that continue...
Re: Bloc Party - So Here We Are
Eh? That sounds dodgy. I know of at least one former writer who fell foul of this, but I'm not going to name that person under any circumstances. For the sake of balance, how does that work?
Incidentally, am I the only person who thinks this song sounds like U2? Just wondering.
Bloc Party - So Here We Are
After hearing it only once I was really impressed (not that I haven't been with the other stuff), I'm really looking forward to the album.

This is one of my favourites on the album, I must say.
