4- Silent Alarm - Bloc Party
Ever since i bought this album and proceeded to play 'Banquet' about 50 times in a row, i knew it would be one of my favourite albums. Trying to pick out tracks from this album is almost impossible as it is one of the most well rounded albums i have heard and to do that with your debut album is seriously impressive. It is also worth mentioning that Bloc Party are one of the best live bands i have heard, there is nothing quite like the opening riff of 'Helicopter' to get a crowd going. In fact at leeds fest 07 bloc party acheived the unimaginable..... a circle pit at an indie gig. There are so many brilliant tracks on this album, 'positive tension' where Kele shouts the eternal lines 'why do you have to get so histerical, why do have get...so fuckin useless' another crowd pleaser in the bloc party repertoire. This album set bloc party up as the best new band in britain, a reputation they solidified with follow ups 'A Weekend In The City' and 'Intimacy'
