Damn, haven't listened to this in quite awhile, used to like it when I was younger but haven't listened to Bloc Party in forever, might try dig this up and see how I feel now. I vaguely remember 'Hunting For Witches' being my favourite.

I liked "I Still Remember", little else clicked but everything was still okay, just a little too much so. I think it tried too hard to be both anthemic and earnest as well as clever and experimental, often at the same time, and it just didn't work. Kind of the classic difficult second album, or yeah, "meh sophomore outing"

One of the only handful of albums in our top 1,000 that I haven't listened to. Don't really plan to either.

Bloc Party are one of several bands I used to love when I was 16ish but basically haven't touched since, see kasabian fratellis klaxons.. they make me nostalgic but I'm not sure if I'll ever listen to a whole album of theirs again. I Still Remember is nice, I suppose

Yeah, I'm much the same, 16 year old me loved West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum, Silent Alarm, Franz Ferdinand and Employment by Kaiser Chiefs, haven't listened to them in at least 3-4 years though, might actually revisit some of those...
