A Weekend In The City von Bloc Party

electrobaboon schrieb:

Love thinking of this as a concept album about all sorts of different people's various weekends in the city. Seriously, listen to each track and you'll find a different person inside it, telling the story of their own weekend. Awesome music, still not as good as Silent Alarm though.

Kreuzberg is gorgeous. A desolate, blown-open nighttime cityscape. [2] Seriously, if you hate Kreuzberg, I don't think you understood the concept of this album at all.

What! Kreuzberg is gorgeous. A desolate, blown-open nighttime cityscape. For me it's the album's heart, in terms both of the themes and of the window dressing.

i never understood the critic's panning of this album because this album to me is so wonderfully crafted in all aspects. really strikes a chord within....like bloc party is taking you on a visit to the grottiest places in london and i love it. kreuzberg...after so many listens still makes me crumble inside.

Just get's better and better. Only song I don't like is Kreuzberg. Still compared to other bloc Party albums that's really good.(Only like 4 or 5 songs on both SA and INT.)

Incredible that it's approaching five years since this came out. I [still] remember so vividly sitting in my little room in halls in my first year of uni on a rainy Monday night spinning the LP over and over until like 3am, first on full blast, and then on headphones, with a trip down to the laundrette in bare feet to grab my long-forgotten washing between sides. Now I'm 23 and I have a postgrad and a job. It's terrifying. I loved Silent Alarm back when I was in lower sixth, too, but for me it will always be this album, because of who and where I was and how it felt.to be that and there. It bled all the way out of my musical memory and into my everything memory, so now this album just *is* February 2007.

I personally think it's one of their best. It gets you to reflect on things, deeper album than you might first think

I will never understand how this received such a mixed response. Equals or betters its predecessor in nearly every regard.

I spent the majority of my final year in Secondary School listening to Bloc Party. While Silent Alarm might be perceived as their best album, I will always enjoy AWITC that bit more. I love this album for both the music and its association with that time in my life.

I never understood why people didn't like this album. I suppose because it's one of those albums that doesn't just immediately hit you like Silent Alarm has and instead takes a bit of time before you really understand how great it is. Then again, I had this one before Silent Alarm back in middle school and I really loved it at the time. SRXT just popped up on shuffle and I'm realizing once again how fantastic this band was.
