Bloc Party

Listen to full tracks now. Users outside the UK can hear 30-second clips of each song.

Kangol hats all round: Bloc Party are ripping off another bit of the ’90s and we’re all going to sit here and listen to it because it’s innovative. That’s innovative, you hear? Cue four minutes of wailing from everyone’s favourite ‘cerebral’ band. But forget how hard they’re trying for a second and play it really loud. It’s like Mogwai covering ‘Set You Free’ by N-Trance and it’s brilliant.

How these talentless ballbags have fooled everyone into thinking that they're anything less that utter shit is quite beyond comprehension. They really are the most overrated twats in existence, not a single decent tune.

Not gunna have a dig at Oasis cos they do deserve their respect, but the 'Party have so many ideas, intelligence and imagination (bit of alliteration there for you) to their music it's untrue.. and it's all summed up in this quality tuneage! Sort your life out whatawasteoftime/space/oxygen.

haha, anyone who thinks bloc partys the most over-rated band ever has no knowledge of the history of music ever. but hey, i suppose you're just gonna list to whatever noel and liam have to say about the music scene. and ALSO, no band sells out gigs all over the world if they can't pen a single good tune. ya bloody flaming drongo...

Oasis and Bloc Party both suck the sweat off a dead man's balls. Tedious, boring drivel for cunts.

Bloc Party at Reading. Anyone who was there, as i was, will testify that it was a fucking good show, from a great band. If you don't like them, don't listen to them, but stop your bitching.

Whatawasteoftime I bought those albums two and I concur entirely...but as for Bloc Party they have some top tunes without doubt and their drummer is immense
