Sonic Level: Bloc Party

Um... Despite my faith in internet users is generally low (almost drained through last years), I recently realized that some over-30.000-views videos on YouTube are not that bad as I expected. Actually, I've changed my mind a bit: when something has views counted in thousands it may be good from time to time; depressing and devastating rubbish starts from 1 million viewers up. It may be a bit paranoid, but I promised myself not to add my own 1 view to all this cinematic bullshit that is posted - just to satisfy my private sence of democracy.

As I said, from time to time I can comfort myself. That's exactly when I find good stuff which is doomed to achive commercial success. Bloc Party used to be such band; after turning into one of the hottest indie groups ever, they suffered hard, hard failure with every single new album being worse that their previous one. However, they still are one of the few 'rockers for teenagers', who I'm not ashamed to listen to after years of audio-self-improvement. Since they stood the test of time, I guess they're just simply goodat what they are (were?) doing.

So here it is: an ending to their most approved album: Silent Alarm. Unlike previous songs it's very... relaxing. Really, this sounds like Kele Okereke had no more power to yell in anger at the end of recording session. Thankfully!
