bloody brilliant.
I've avowed my love for Bloc Party in the past and I'm proclaiming it again. Even more vehemently. Their latest album "Intimacy" is spectacular. Almost as good as their first album "Silent Alarm" and that's the one album that I will never get sick of listening to. I could listen to "Silent Alarm" for the rest of my life and be content. There's something very special about Kele Okereke and the music he creates.
The standouts on this album for me right now are "Mercury," "Biko," and "Signs." Kele's lyrics and voice speak to me. It's weird but they help give me hope, inspire me, and make me feel better. I feel like Kele completely understands our generation and our world right now... in song form.
I love his voice too. The earnest yearning, the urgency, the softness, the shyness. Bloc Party touches me.

And this video from La Blogotheque is pure awesomeness.
