Bloc Party get intimate...

During the course of tonight's webchat, Bloc Party announced details of their third album, titled 'Intimacy'. And, would you believe it, they've kinda done a Radiohead. If you preorder the album now (here), you will receive the digital version on Thursday 21st August (two days time!), and the CD will arrive on October 27th with new tracks tagged on.

Here's the 'Intimacy' tracklisting...

01. Ares

02. Mercury

03. Halo

04. Biko

05. Trojan Horse

06. Signs

07. One Month Off

08. Zephyrus

09. Better Than Heaven

10. Ion Square

Looks like Kele's been reading up on his Greek mythology. So, mucho surprise, huh? Who's taking Thursday off?

Ah. I thnk it's a good name actually! I'm excited but worried.. when I heard A weekend in the city I was kind of disappointed.

I'm in two minds, I love mercury but I want it to feel more like a band but at the same time I think if it was just the same style as silent alarm it wouldn't be that amazing.. :S

I like the name... Fingers crossed, this will be something special. The problem with Mercury was the lack of Gordy and Russ, so that's fixable. Anyway; there was nothing on A Weekend In The City that was that similar to The Prayer, so maybe the rest of the album is different (if they're pulled out an album of Fluxalikes, I will be rejoicing for weeks).

Is anyone having problems deciding which to buy, I'm split between downloading the album and CD to get the extra song(s), or just downloading it. £5 for an extra song seems quite a lot. Whats everyone else doing?
