  Music Underwater Review: Bloc Party-Silent Alarm
While Franz Ferdinand defined the band as the epitome of cool, Silent Alarm is urgent, paranoid, and unrelenting.
But seriously, Silent Alarm, much like 2004's Futureheads, is carried by one of the most extraordinary vocal deliveries this side of TV on the Radio.
Silent Alarm is an absolute triumph, the best piece of 80's revivalism since Turn on the Bright Lights, and an early candidate for album of the year.

 Silent Alarm, MP3 Album Music Download at eMusic
Silent Alarm is also more varied than Bloc Party's early work indicated it might be, spanning edgy pop, atmospheric ballads, and angular, percussive tracks that are all served well by the album's big, layered production.
As both the band and album's names imply, Silent Alarm is an overtly political album.
Although it wouldn't hurt if there were more "party" (the celebratory kind, not the political one) in Silent Alarm, it's still a fine debut album with a lot of passion and polish; it's hard not to respect, if not fully embrace, the intensity and integrity of Bloc Party's music.

 Bloc Party: Silent Alarm - PopMatters Music Review
To paraphrase Longfellow, the band's full-length debut Silent Alarm is "a voice in the darkness, a knock at the door".
Silent Alarm's world is our world, populated with paranoia and a false sense of security, where deceptions and solutions fight for air like lightning bugs in a glass bottle.
Only briefly and intermittently does Silent Alarm play it safe (the unspectacular tracks "Plans", "Blue Light", and single "Banquet"), but its engaging flow is never derailed.

Much more polished, serious, and straight-ahead than their initial EPs suggested, Bloc Party's debut album, "Silent Alarm", reveals them as a band equally informed by taut art-punk and the grand gestures and earnestness of groups like Coldplay and U2.
As dynamic as "Silent Alarm" is, it's not perfect: Kele Okereke's yelpy vocals get a little grating on the less melodic songs, and the second half of the album doesn't quite sustain the momentum it had at the beginning.
The U.S. version of "Silent Alarm" also omits one of the band's best songs, "Little Thoughts," although the bonus remixes of "So Here We Are" by Four Tet, "Plans" by Mogwai, and "Pioneers"" by M83 help make up for this.

 Bloc Party : Silent Alarm - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
As a debut, Silent Alarm is much better than it needs to be to attract attention, and Bloc Party boasts both a smart, socially conscious frontman in Kele Okerere and perhaps the best rhythm section in the post-punk genre.
Their appeal is deliberately wide, providing common ground for an insufferable hipster and a Top 40-phile, allowing each to enjoy separate aspects of the sound while sharing the overarching one: It’s just fun to listen to.
Silent Alarm isn’t an essential album, but it will likely become a timeless one for legions of people, for whom it will remain a partial soundtrack -- and satisfying reminder -- of 2005.

 Bloc Party - Silent Alarm Remixed - Stylus Magazine
In many ways Paul Epworth’s production on Silent Alarm (hyper-dense, unrealistic, headache-inducingly busy) made it seem like a set of decent post-punk revivalist songs that had already been remixed into fantasticalness, with odd mixing levels, gregarious synth fills, and other unexpected elements making it very much a “studio” record rather than a “song” record.
Silent Alarm Remixed is an odd affair that I can’t fully get a grip on.
When someone merely adds further cybernetic sheen to an already modernist tune (Death From Above 1979’s take on “Luno,” for example) then the result is as enjoyable and exhilarating as the original, albeit in a slightly different direction, but one has to wonder why you’d bother when the original was fine anyway.

 Bloc Party - Silent Alarm - Stylus Magazine
What is important is that they have a sense of adventure, romance, belief and intelligence, of art, a desire to explode preconceptions and exceed expectations that marks them out way above and beyond any of their perceived peers.
Silent Alarm is a debut about desperation, about being desperately angry at injustice, about being desperately confused with the world, about being desperately in love.
Such is Silent Alarm’s quality that Bloc Party have been able to leave off a clutch of other great songs, from former single “Little Thoughts” to b-sides like “Always New Depths” and “Tulips,” songs that, were they in almost any other band’s arsenal, would be standouts.

Silent Alarm comes to a conclusion with the slow burner, “Compliments,” which in itself is haunting and serene.
If you haven’t already been caught up in one or two Bloc Party singles, then Silent Alarm may be the record that makes you fall in love with this band (and for the already initiated, a reaffirmation of that love would be in order).
There is little doubt that Silent Alarm is stellar, worthy of the praise it has received.

Yet on their debut album, Silent Alarm, this "autonomous unit" of smart, wiry London youth don't just succeed in reinvigorating the artform – they come pretty close to reinventing it from the ground up.
'Silent Alarm' is the first album from London-based art-rockers Bloc Party.

 Adrian's Album Reviews : Bloc Party
Bloc Party take bands from that kind of era yet also are clearly aware of their contemporaries, groups such as The Futureheads, etc. One thing I picked up on quite quickly in my listening adventures spent to 'Silent Alarm' was noticing how absolutely solid and tight the rhythm section are, the drummer in particular.
As such, the second half of 'Silent Alarm', barring the beautifully considered slower song 'So Here', is merely an inferior version of the first half of the album.
Still, 'Silent Alarm' remains goodly enjoyable, helped along by such standouts as the opening cure-like 'Like Eating Glass', the fall-like 'She's Hearing Voices', the thumping and smoothly jerky 'Banquet' and my personal favourite, the utter classic that is 'This Modern Love'.

 Splendid Magazine reviews Bloc Party: Silent Alarm
Unlike so many of their Gang of Four-worshipping peers, Bloc Party are that rare band that can actually transcend their influences and press clippings, crushing the fervor surrounding their arrival in a hail of splintered guitars and sumptuous despondency.
Danceable yet desolate, Silent Alarm isn't the feel-good album that some listeners have made it out to be; it's a stuttering, occasionally painful journey through the minds of four confused twentysomethings in search of pills, thrills, bellyaches and a little bit of understanding.
Despite its obvious pop smarts, Silent Alarm is more "art" than "rock", and in the spirit of Manic Street Preachers' The Holy Bible, it's the sound of a band being accepted with open arms by a public it's trying to alienate.

 Bloc Party - Silent Alarm | Album Archive | PM Media Review
Slient Alarm, a decidedly modern-punk album that isn't afraid to soften its edges, is poised to blow open doors and serve as the latest youth anthem for our generation.
It's strengthened by the invigorating percussions and expansive guitar work that are able to push Bloc Party passed their comparisons and into a niche of their own.
It livens things up and is a perfect prelude to the more punk sounding "Helicopter" and "Positive tension." Bloc Party's energy carries the performances and helps to make this studio recording come alive and in your face.

 Bloc Party: Silent Alarm: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
That isn't true-- and the last thing anyone wants is for U2 to try harder-- but he has a point; it's no accident that there are people who think Radiohead haven't really delivered since The Bends.
Put it like that, and what Bloc Party actually sound like drops pretty low on the list of things you need to know about Silent Alarm.
What perhaps matters most is that they're trying to make one of those clean, consistent, ambitious Popular Guitar Rock albums-- and depending on how much stock you put in that kind of thing, they've done a great job of it.
