Solo album from Bloc Party lead man Kele Okereke. starts out very much an electronica/house album before blending into Kele's indie sensibilities towards the end. the first single "Tenderoni" was officially released yesterday, although it had been seen on channel V early last month, is very much a club oriented track... as all singles usually are these days

I can see myself dancing too it at a club... should I ever find myself in such a dire situation that is.

out side of the single there are some very interesting tracks. my favourites so far being "on the Lam", "Yesterday's gone", "Rise" and "All the things I could never say"

the second half of the album is much stronger than the first as this is where Kele is far more comfortable in his song writing (but i'm not saying the first half is weak)

I love Silent Alarm and Another Weekend in the City, not that big a fan of weekend in the city though. and I never really got into Intimacy

Not that im a bloc party hater, quite the opposite, but there is a disturbing trend with some of the more recent stuff to be released including the single off this album.

Sounds a bit similar to this if you ask me.

that style of synth beat is a few years old now

it reminded me a lot of "Bodyrox - yeah yeah" which was released in 2006

and it's probably been used well before then as well

Ah, OK.

I'm a bit the opposite really. Like Silent Alarm, really like A Weekend In The City and love Intimacy.

I only really got into them the last year though.
