bloc party-silent alarm(2005) vs. bloc party-silent alarm remixed (2005)

So I've had Bloc Party's debut album for a little while, so I figured I get the remix of it.

Explain: bloc party allowed a number of producers/musicians to remix every track off their debut album.

So I'm doing a verses review.

Here's all you need to know. Bloc Party is part of the European dance-punk that is filtering into the states right now ie. the killers and others. However, they're a little darker and not as dancey. Man, do I love the drum beats on this album. Who else has come out with a song about the rising cost of gas??? Plus, i'm a sucker for a real rock band that's fronted by a black guy.

Their first six songs on the album are excellent. excellent is the only way to describe them.

standout tracks: 4. Banquet 2. Helicopter 6. Blue Light

Now, the remixed version. Only buy it if you're a fan, and if you are you should really have to like them to buy it. The original is still the better of the two. I myself like to listen more to a band then instruments that come out of a computer. But it's not that bad, just different then the way I like to listen to the songs.

i stand: VERY HAPPY WITH THE ORIGINAL
