I just listened to this track and I'm quite confused; I'm not sure if I like it or I don't.
The fact that Jacknife Lee has stayed with them and further used a more electronic driven sound is nice... but I miss their sparse, plucky guitar work.

Have you guys heard this track? If so, post impressions here. If not, click here.

Yeah I've heard it, and I think it's even worse than average Weekend in the City stuff, and Flux, which was bad. It seems to me they're abandoning the strengths of the debut (guitar work), and it's becoming apparent they have no other strengths.

Sigh, they were a one album womder, should this album proceed like this track Frowner

I'm not gonna lie, I did actually like Flux, but this is just crap to me. I listened to it a second time and I couldn't stand it. I guess the first time was just out of shock. And at least A Weekend in the City HAD guitar work; Hunting for Witches was a good mix of electronic manipulation with guitar, but this... this isn't Bloc Party as we knew them.

OH yeah, past tense was used.
