Bloc Party makes another (sorta kinda?) comeback record with a new drummer and bassist, and it's one of the most lifeless and boring records I've heard in a while. I didn't give Cage The Elephant enough credit.

Rating: 6/20
Favourites: Only He Can Heal Me, Virtue (kinda)
Skip It: Really, you shouldn't even try out this record, but if you do, especially avoid The Love Within. It is a truly awful song.
