Bloc Party announce their reunion. Months later "Four" appears on the market. Fans go crazy and blogs / websites / European music magazines render all kinds of bows to the last (and final?) Disk Londoners. By now the LP has already been heard by all siblings, uncles, cousins, grandmothers!. But we, for reasons of fate, we had not yet fully embraced. Luckily last night we could redeem our sin, taking advantage of a free moment to sit down at the computer and, cigar in hand, get to enjoy the work of BP as best they deserve.
Only I could give it a listen yet so "Four" has left me a very good impression. Bloc Party seem to have managed to leave the brace that kept stylistically somewhat oppressed (and practically no crystalline those guitar riffs that characterized both) for themselves to opt for a more sound form chameleonic and versatile. Among the various new records band Kele Okereke has adopted for this occasion is that it approaches the grunger rock, with a dense and strong instrumental sound. Coincidentally the two disk star themes - 'Coliseum' and mainly 'kettling' - are those who identify fully with this avalanche sound that became popular in his day bands like Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden and Pearl Jam.
Here you have both versions of study as are enjoyed live (Pukkelpop and KCRW) two separate issues. So far I have seen live four times Bloc Party but I'm biting nails to see them again. This new (and partial) transformation of his personality is a blast.
