| Bloc Party - Silent Alarm (2005) |
"Do you wanna come over and kill some time?"
I got roped into the Bloc Party craze a few years after its peak, but at one time this band was all the rage to the thick-rimmed glasses and cardigan sporting crowd. Although I'm not cool enough to say that I liked them before they got "big," I thoroughly enjoyed 2005's Silent Alarm and still do to this day.
While a good portion of that album is somewhat of an acquired taste, "This Modern Love" hit me from day one. It's not exactly a lyrical marvel, but that little guitar melody that hops in for the first time at 1:25 is simply too sweet to resist. It actually served as a proper ringtone at one point in time. As for the rest of the song, it's melodic enough to get anyone's attention and unique enough to keep them coming back. The intensity builds naturally all the way to the end and leaves you reflecting back on what you just witnessed; a nice little slice of stellar songwriting. Try it out as a nice pick-me-up on your next morning drive.
