New Bloc Party Single
I thought I could cry when I heard Bloc Party's upcoming single "Mercury." Not because of how emotionally touching its lyrics are. Oh no. Remember how hard it was to listen to "Barricade" on In Our Bedroom After The War by Stars? 'Mercury' was like that. Even though Bloc Party is my number one favorite band of all time, I don't think it's very fair to be biased with my views on this song.
I mean, I thought that maybe the second time I hear it, it'll sound different and maybe even great. But that didn't happen. Okay, so maybe this track won't be on their new album that's currently in the works. At least, I hope it won't be. However, Kele Okereke's vocals are fantastic. I suppose that's one of the only favorable things I can say about this song.
I'm sorry, Bloc Party, but you've really let me down :(
