Additional information
Bloc Party returned after a two-year hiatus with Hymns, the first set of songs to feature drummer Louise Bartle and bassist Justin Harris, formerly of the band Menomena. Kele Okereke's fondness for soaring choruses and meditations on sex, drugs, and faith -- and how they often blur together -- provide the main connection to the band's previous work. Backed by slide guitars and a stomping beat, Okereke sings "I used to find my answers in the gospels of St. John/Now I find them in the bottom of a shot glass" on "The Good News." Hymns' ballads are some of its strongest moments, and the most reminiscent of Bloc Party 1.0 and Okereke's solo career. "My True Name" and "Fortress" serve as reminders that their plaintive melodies and soul-baring are still potent, while "Different Drugs'" chemically enhanced portrait of being alone together recalls Bloc Party's highest emotional peaks. "So Real" and "Into the Earth" are intimate, guitar-driven sketches that make the most of Hymns' more straightforward sounds and emotions while taking the band's music in new directions. ~ Heather Phares
Reviews
Spin - "Okereke sounds more literally centered than he ever has. He's comfortable as the focal point of the less roiling, less violent new band..." Entertainment Weekly - "Frontman Kele Okereke has been more committed than most of his peers in trying to extract humanity from machines and infusing bloops and bleeps with something resembling a soul, and first single 'The Love Within' may be his greatest feat in that regard." -- Grade: A- NME (Magazine) - "Their most sombre, haunted and immersive record to date, it's so drenched in quasi-religious themes and tones..." Clash (Magazine) - "'Exes' is a pared-down, glittering apology to people that Okereke has hurt in the past. It's a beautiful vocal performance and a sign of where the band might yet strike gold in the future."

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

No communication needed with seller, so don't know what to rate with regards to communication (please dont take lack of feedback on this matter as a negative). Thanks again.

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
