Silent Alarm by the Bloc Party has been sitting on my digital shelf (I pretty much only exclusively listen to mp3s, so there is no real shelf to speak of) for the last year or so. I instantly liked the obvious standout tracks (Like Eating Glass, Banquet) upon first listen, but, for some reason, wasn't intrigued enough to give it much more attention.

Now, come mid-April 2006 and I'm sick of my music collection yet again. There is only so much Sufjan Stevens, Grandaddy, and the Faint you can listen to, and that's where this album has come in. It has saved the day.

Simply danceable, upbeat, intelligent music.
