[@onigumo41]

i got mad respect for kele. he's showing that black people can play a prominent role in rock music and be successful at it. being black and listening to rock is tough. but i don't care bloc party kicks ass!! oh yeah and i was raised in brooklyn, new york. the heart of the ghetto.

[@laurencehall2132]

Being black i'm the only one of my friends who listens to this sort of music but i love it, Bloc party hit different

[@litete2512]

I'm Jamaican 😂 (black too since Jamaican is a nationality not a race) I've only really listened to rock music for a year or so but I really like it

[@Spurgte]

I don't understand this stigma that black people don't fit in if they enjoy music outside of afrobeats & hiphop Without african Americans inventing blues I'm not sure rock music will exist today... I'm east african and I've listened to indie/alt rock since I was 10 or so, it's probably because I was exposed to alot of music derivative of rock on TV since I'm British... And now I'm 25 years old I listen to literally anything these days; Afrobeats, jazz,bossanova,salsa,ska,RnB, contemporary hiphop,dancehall, jungle,dnb, tech house, trance & occasionally classical if the piece stands out to me. I just follow & trust my ear, even using "genres" to describe my musical taste & sensibilities feels trivial to me

[@herodthegreat3432]

Wow, thats awesome. It's okay to break out and step out your comfort zone. And explore new things. Just remember one thing; only deal with positive people only, and after that? People that are permanently positive🎉

Matt Tong, such a beast.

My burnt CD playlist from 2005 randomly popped into my head this morning, so glad it did.

[@ericfoster8411]

This album was a huge piece of the teenage puzzle for me. It was the key that opened up a whole different world of bands that I’d love for the rest of my life

[@Bethune_Groundstaff]

Saved my life at that moment

[@jaquesdaman]

I really like their sound. It's so clean and simple. No special effects all the time. Bloc Party is one of the greatest! Love them.

[@JimPoe70]

You know what's weird. On the U.S. release of the Silent Alarm CD that I bought in 2005 when it was still new, this song is on it. It quickly became my favorite song on the album and one of my favorite songs of the era, just an absolute anthem. I only just found out the other day that it's not on the UK version of the album! And that it's not even available to stream now! Utter insanity! The album absolutely feels incomplete without it. Just really feel for the newer fans who don't know this song and don't know what it does to elevate that album.

[@definitelynotpalpatine9634]

Where abouts is it in the album?

[@ddrumdude]

Yeah when I originally got the album on Itunes it was on there. But it's not on Spotify or on the CD here :(

[@planetyes]

Yeah it's a fab track. Kele feels embarrassed over it.

[@JimPoe70]

Matt Tong is probably the best drummer i've ever hear live.

Please Bloc, can you go back? I am asking after all! I know it is reminiscent to dwell on tracks like these, but they were so beautiful. I miss the days where the gang were together.

[@francisaypa267]

SO GOOD !!! BEST BAND EVER

Still remember back in ‘05, 12th grade, picking up Silent Alarm on a whim while with my friends at an electronics store. Ahh the memories. This song is eternal

I’m not as old as everyone else in this comment section, but I’ve been listening to Bloc Party for a good 2 years. Tbh I really miss their old style or albums like Weekend and Silent Alarm. Makes me kinda sad I wasn’t there to enjoy it sooner. I’m in high school at the moment and their music really do help me get through tough times. ❤️

[@markhardwick8032]

Awesome! They are an amazing. I’m in 30s I remember when silent alarm came out… just was so brilliant but it still sounds unique and fresh today. Good to hear people still discovering them! Make sure to listen to cool music when young. Something happens when you’re older they stick in your mind from teens and 20’s trust me. Then when older it brings back so much emotion. Check out Taking back Sunday and Motion city soundtrack, two other great bands from 2000s

[@cerimeecham179]

remember hearing this for the first time live on the steve lamaq show back in 2004. still my favourite song of theirs!

[@henreque]

Silent Alarm was insane. I love it and still listen to it almost every other week at least. Everything before A Weekend In The City is the best - but "AWITC" was still a nice listen. Some of their new stuff is good to listen to, others not so, but they're taking a new directions, which on the one hand is cool, but on the other is a little annoying as their early stuff is clearly fucking awesome. One of the best bands to come from the UK in recent times, easily.

[@bigwhite06]

This song is definitely my favorite of theirs. It is on the Little Thoughts EP. I love all the songs off that cd and suggest all of you take a listen.

[@cxssetteman182]

The early 2000s we're just something else. I'm not just speaking because of nostalgia, it is that the air had a fragrance, the world sounded different.....from car engines to the slangs and language people used, to the sound of hustling leaves in the parks, to the cell phones. Everything was good back then.

[@leeguitarmcr]

I watched Bloc Party at The Night & Day, Manchester 2004. This was my favourite song by them at the time, when they played this I went f**kin mental. Met guitarist Russel Lissack after the gig who was a nice guy and down to earth. Signed my ticket. Some mad random bands came out of the UK in the mid 2000's...even though my era was the late 80's & 90's the mid 2000's was great for music. Some bad stuff but plenty of good also.

[@rmkw4291]
