Oh I thought they were a duo, but they're a quartet.

You got the album? Once you listen to that for a few times it makes you like them more.

i think the drum action is fantastic...and the slower songs lovely..i do however think that 13 songs is too much...they should have quit after 11

Well I think the more tracks on the album the better value for money, as long as they are still good material.

i think the bloc party album silent alarm is great, luno the pioneers, banquet, this modern love are all great songs, but i heard they arent that good live, and seeing as its there debut album u cant really say best new indie band since the 90's. wait until their next album and then i think ill decide if they are truly great.

well the last three songs are not that great, compared to the first 10..thats what i meant by saying they should've stopped while they were ahead..

Well people have different opinions because I like the last three tracks a lot. 'Luno', 'Plans' and 'Compliments' are some of the best on the album.
