    Despite Bloc Party being one of my favorites bands, for some reason, I thought this album would fall slightly behind all of their previous ones. Unsurprisingly, I was wrong. Each track is catchy and poetic, and certainly has that Bloc Party vibe. Very glad to have this in my CD collection.
  • Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2022
    I discovered Bloc Party at the end of 2005, months after their debut album, "Silent Alarm" was released. I liked their debut quite a bit, and I felt they stood out from the rest of the New Wave revivalist bands at that time. They had an energy few bands elicited at that time.

    However, with each successive release, I was less interested. In fact, their last three albums didn't do much for me at all. I turned to lead singer, Kele Okereke's solo work. His 2010 debut, "The Boxer" was exhilarating, but with each release thereafter, my interest waned.

    Additionally, after Bloc Party's fourth album, "Four" (2012), they lost half the band. So when "Hymns" was released in 2016, I felt that to be an all time low for the band.

    So, with expectations set very low for "Alpha Games", I was pleasantly surprised at how much of a return to form this album is. It might very well be my second or third favorite Bloc Party album behind "Silent Alarm" and "A Weekend in the City" (2007).

    Most of the songs are quite good, if not exactly catchy or completely memorable. The band has definitely moved back in the right direction. I hope they keep going and don't wait another six years to release their next album. More of this, please.

    Choice picks are: "Day Drinker", "Traps", "Sex Magik", "By Any Means Necessary" and "In Situ".

    Here's how "Alpha Games" compares to Block Party's other works:

    2005 Silent Alarm: Four and a Half Stars
    2007 A Weekend In The City: Four Stars
    2008 Intimacy: Three and a Half Stars
    2012 Four: Three Stars
    2016 Hymns: Two and a Half Stars
    2022 Alpha Games: Four Stars

    This took me back to high school days of old while breathing fresh, new BP right in my face. Strong album, start to finish. Favorite 2: Day Drinker and Traps.

    Best album since weekend in the city. Enjoyable from beginning to end. Not sure why critics so hard on this band

    5.0 out of 5 stars Bloc Party in grande forma
    Reviewed in Italy on May 29, 2022
    Nell'ultima fatica dei Bloc Party si ritrova con piacere un po' tutta la loro musica, dagli esordi alle più recenti produzioni. 40 minuti che volano tutti d'un fiato in modo piacevole e, direi, energizzante. Dal mio punto di vista, nessuna caduta di tensione rispetto ai tempi degli esordi. Ma, certo, la sabbia corre nella clessidra e sarebbe disumano pretendere che tutto rimanesse immutato.

    Reviewed in Italy on June 10, 2022
    Nessuna stella per le condizioni dell'articolo. Capisco che era usato, ma le condizioni della copertina erano pessime. Un oggetto in condizioni simili andrebbe ritirato dalla vendita, non si può pensare di venderlo nemmeno come usato. Ovviamente sono stato rimborsato.
