Dec 18, 2011One of the most catchy and musically beautiful albums I've heard. Every track had me jamming to it and every listen made me want to listen again. There is nothing to hate about this album.

Nov 13, 2015Such a great album! Every song is great and looped this album about 100 times! Silent alarm turned 10 years old this year and the songs have aged very well and still sound great. The lowest moments of the album like the song "Plans' or "Luno" are still great songs and I'm honestly haven't gotten more radio play. It's honestly a shame not more people listen to Bloc Party.

Feb 4, 2016tight riffs riding on steady beats, this album affords a great variety of sounds and harmonies throughout its duration that checks every box and then some. its light and dark when it needs to be, necessary for any prolonged listen. even after all these years, very few indie LPs can hold a candle to this gem - this unfortunately includes bloc party's later offerings.

Jan 9, 2018Este álbum es uno de los mejores que he escuchado en mi vida. Bloc Party supo como traer energía en el 2005, pero lamentablemente es un álbum tan bueno que la gente se olvido que existe y que es uno de los mejores álbumes del Rock Indie, y la gente debería escucharlos, porque la considero una banda infravalorada. Es muy triste saber que terminaron con un quinto álbum muy malo.

Silent Alarm is dance rock, but highly caffeinated.

Removing the formulae and sensual stimuli from the Party leaves little that’s substantive or innovative. Even the most cursory of examinations would show the group to be an “it” band and not much else. However, Bloc Party’s absurdly good at being an “it” on Silent Alarm.
