1. Ares
2. Mercury
3. Halo
4. Biko
5. Trojan Horse
6. Signs
7. One Month Off
8. Zephyrus
9. Better Than Heaven
10. Ion Square
So far the reception has been lukewarm. Intimacy is very dancey, and the classic Bloc Party sound promised is not evident apart from small glimpses in a few songs.
But what do you think?
I like it. It is a lot like what I expected, but not in a bad way. Almost a pleasant surprise, you could say. Highlights of the album are Halo, Biko and One Month Off.
Some tracks can be found on their myspace (http://myspace.com/blocparty).
