SethHFeb 5, 2007Bloc Party's "A Weekend In the City" is an album that epitomizes the popular, artistic result of modern calamities. From the conforming of the indiviuals to the judgement by modern society, Bloc Party touch issues that haunt our world. Kele Okereke's lyrics and melodies stick in listeners brain for days on end.

Under The RadarIt's a given that some people will miss the raucous Bloc Party, but there are enough in-your-face moments and hidden gems to keep A Weekend In The City on regular rotation. [#16, p.90]

UrbA post-electronica, post-rave production that jettisons genres and cherishes uncut creativity. [Jan/Feb 2007, p.77]
