Review

''Still has the vertiginous pulse and snarling riffs that have been Bloc Party trademarks since the band's breakout 2005 debut.'' --The New York Times

''Bloc Party once again tweaks its sound permitting drummer Matt Tong to play big and loud. Russell Lissack's waves of raging guitars are still present in the midrange but there are metallike riffs and chopped chords, too its tracks reflect a band eager to experiment and explore.'' --The Wall Street Journal

''It's a jerky, dark, and layered record, complete with the kind of adept musical craftsmanship the London band first built its name on. Four is ultimately a loud, turbulent statement of re-purpose, and it doesn't go out with a whimper. If Bloc Party had to stray from what they know best on their most recent records in order to gain some perspective, the end results on Four prove that time worthwhile.'' --Consequence of Sound
