Sep 6, 2016I don't understand all the negative reactions to this album. I really loved it and the more electronic spin they took! Its much more unique compared to their second album in my opinion.

Nov 30, 2015This album has some really great tracks! I loved listening to Halo, Signs, etc. but somehow I can't help but think that this is a weaker point for Bloc Party. Coming off of Silent Alarm and A Weekend and the City, they had some pretty big shoes to fill. Intimacy comes a little short but is still a good album.

liuOct 29, 2008Being not a fan of bloc party i'd say that this change of sound did not make me buy the record, but at least it made the listening far more challenging. bravo for their courage. although there's a feeling of the release being a bit over-rushed.

ChuckB.Oct 28, 2008I had the online version of this album almost a month ago, and fell in love instantly. Now that the the full album is out, I can't get enough. If you enjoyed either of the previous Bloc Party releases, this is definitely an album to pick up.

SpaceC.Oct 28, 2008Fantastic album! At first when i heard it, i was a bit disappointed, but it's a grower. I'm giving it a 8 because the first two tracks never really clicked for me, and feel out of place with the rest of the album.

Intimacy is not quite the radical statement its makers might think it is (I’m not sure what could be given the group’s evident ambitions), but it’s definitely a little bit of invigorating redemption at a time when doubts were beginning to cloud what was, initially, a flawless reputation.
-
This vicious playfulness extends to the music as well, which trims off the magisterial excesses of "Weekend" while keeping the band's recent noisy electronica crush intact.
-
At its best Intimacy is taut and claustrophobic or movingly sentimental, but for the main part it is repetitious and bafflingly poorly realised, especially given that they could have had an extra six months to work on it.
