Could this be the dawn of post nu-rave? 'Fear And Fluoride' might suggest as much. With its unwavering four-to-the-floor rhythm it's plainly aimed at the dance floor, but there's so much going on, it's like an explosion of influences - a multi-genre mosh-pit in song form. It's the scuffle that follows an unsavoury incident involving New Order calling Bloc Party rude names at a packed warehouse party in Liam Howlett's back garden. In other words, synth pop exchanges blows with post punk edge and urgency, a huge synth-blasted rave chorus, and vocals delivered with the determination and mania of a revenge obsessed Kele Okereke.
'Dark Party' is cut from the same chaotic cloth - a colourful and anthemic clash of thrills, pills and bellyaches. Played loud, there can't be many better ways to give yourself a migraine.
