    An good album but not excellent. Some songs don't seem to have a pont or effect on the album, I'd say that the album is carried by songs like "Ares", "Mercury" "Talons" and a few others. When comparing to previous albums like "Silent Alarm" and "A Weekend In The City" this albums appear to not being a realive of the band, but only puts more thing on the table.

    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.
