PGFeb 12, 2007This album is awful, totally overhyped by the NME as usual, its good to see such a low rating on here, its no more than it deserves. The lyrics make me cringe, both guitarist are cheap jonny greenwood rip offs. Argh, english music is so poor at the moment

MarciaIFeb 8, 2007I'm very disappointed with this record, silent alarm is much better. Not even one good song in the record.
-
-
EmilyHFeb 8, 2007I liked "Silent Alarm" but the last record is the worst thing I've ever heard in my life. Terrible.
-
-
RachelEFeb 8, 2007The worst effort of Bloc Party until now.
-
-
BernardHFeb 8, 2007They had the ambitions to be huge and bigger with this album like U2 and Coldplay, though they didn't good enough to reach the rock stars. Dull songs and Tracks. They appear to reach an EMO status.

MikeWMar 1, 2007The worst and pretentious album of the year, they now forget your indie roots and wanna be Coldplay or any Panic at The disco kind emo band. To the garbage.
-
-
JCApr 4, 2007Loved the first album - was one of the best of 2005 but this is awful. Upon the first few listens I hoped it might grow on me but it is just as cack now as it was then. A poor follow-up full of it's own self-importance.
-
-
luiggiFeb 17, 2007im disappointed. Silent Alarm was much better. I'm just sad right now.
-
-
AdamFFeb 22, 2007What an utter disappointment. Perhaps it's unfair to compare this effort to Silent Alarm, but this is such a step back for a great band. You keep waiting for the punch that never comes. "I Still Remember" is the only decent track on this album. I can't believe I waited two years for this.
-
-
RogerMFeb 7, 2007I'm very disappoint with this album, the look likes another band, I don't know what happened to them. Boring songs, long lyrics about her sexual life. Who cares? I like Bloc Party like in Silence Alarm, dance and party, listen just once and I forget it. Worst album of 2007.
-
-
ZekeMFeb 7, 2007There isn't a good song in the album, ridiculous.
-
-

-
-
JamesWFeb 26, 2007Not necessary to release this crap, Kaiser Chiefes did much better than this horrible emo brit record.
-
-
GigiLFeb 26, 2007Was really looking forward to this album as I loved Silent Alarm. There are absolutely no stand out songs on the album and lyrically is far weaker than it's predecessor. They seem to have lost the sound that made them endearing in the first place.
-
-
JennaFeb 7, 2007Let me just preface this by saying that Silent Alarm was one of my three favorite records of 2004. It just had a certain, I dunno, flair that elevated every single song to dance-anthem status if that exists. But on A Weekend... they just shoot for anthem status and fall awfully short. I've tried to will myself in to liking it but it's not something I'll likely ever revisit.

AlexDMar 13, 2007A huge disappointment. Kele tries too hard for a Bono persona, and the end result is an overly pretentious set of sub-par songs. I loved Silent Alarm, but this album doesn't do it for me.
-
-
JaharMar 28, 2007Blah blah blah. This singer has some serious vocal issues. Not enjoyable to listen to at all. The only thing keeping this band afloat is the sound of the guitars.
-
-
RobertWMar 7, 2007It's dull, annoying, pretentious and full of histrionics. Bloc Party are the worst band in the world, and they've lowered the bar yet again for the endless wave of talentless bands-for-the-sake-of-being-in-a-band.
-
-
EEJul 16, 2007The biggest disappointments of the year. Very, very boring and forgettable.

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]
