Remember last spring when Bloc Party was the hippest thing on your iPod? Before NME crowned them "the band of 2005, no contest ... as vital as The Clash in '77"? Before Entertainment Weekly said essentially the same thing? And P-Fork gave their debut an 8.9?
Well now Newsweek's mathematicians have blown the band's cover once and for all:
Will the backlash start before the album's even out (3/22)? Or has it started already?
