Every one who saw them performing this song live must agree that this is their most powerful song ! It may not please everybody on the album version , but everybody should admit that this freakin kicks asses live !
"Price of Gas"; probably the most memorable song for me. Driving down Culver in Playa del Rey with my buddies, around 100mph on our way to Hollywood to pick up (like 4 FUCKING years ago). So nostalgic. Bloc Party, bring the good stuff back!
This is Bloc Party's best song! You guys rock, seriously guys, this is amazing. I thought you couldn't get better than hunting for witches or helicopter. But wow.
Bloc Party are evolving... Buck up, fans! Silent Alarm is seminal, but I wouldn't want to keep buying the same album over and over. I love this song, man! It's jazz as fuck!
This video's so fun! Bloc Party need to lighten up more. Don't get me wrong they make great music it;s just they need to have more songs and video's like this!
ok, now i know our expectations of Bloc Party is high because they have made some of the best music ever, but not everything they release can be great. im pretty sure their next album is going to be great. like Kele said the raw guitar of silent alarm and the experience of weekend in the city.
When I first heard this song/saw this video I was just like ".....k this is fucked up" at first but I began to like it. the chorus is so crazy....that it works haha
haha! yeah, i missed out on the last album, bought their first 2, now I'm playing catchup, I did the robot nonstop to this the first time i heard it, love, sonic brilliance, cant deny that beat
wait what happend to my favorite band? first he is legend and now bloc party??? nooo!! whatever you gotta respect what the fact they make the music they want to.
you cannot listen to Silent Alarm all the way through and then AWitC all the way through and say they are getting better. I need another Positive Tension type song!!! they remind me of what happened to The Cure. they forgot about their original fanbase.
I wasn't feeling this at all at first, but it's growing on me. It's not bad, per se, it just doesn't sound anythinglike 'Weekend in the City', the same way 'Weekend in the City' didn't sound anything like 'Silent Alarm'... I dig it, though.
This video is very intresting you can't take it literal because it's in metephorical terms. So it's kinda hard to understand at parts at first I didn't understand it an was wondering if block party even made this but now it make more sense to me after thinking a wile about the representations of the animals in this.....good song. Good video
Its good because its so different from silent alarms and something for the weekend. How boring a band would they be if all the songs sounded the same. Good on 'em!!!
Just saw bloc party in chicago. when they played MERCURY the place went ape-sh&t,and it's not from the apes in the vid. Pure brilliance. K's afterpart dj set inc: smells like teen spirit, basement jaxx, and so much more. .... this is not the time to start a new life !!!!
After 4 years of searching, I found this song finally.
Sarah Jackson What the fuck? exactly the same for me, i just found this after years of searchin! :)
One of bests songs in the world!
This song is completely insane. I fucking love the use of horns on this track, pretty different for Bloc Party.
Late_Bloc_Party You think that this is crazy? Try listening to Ares :)

this song is very original and great as bloc party is,, thats why i love them
Brilliant song, still love it after so many years
One of my fav songs by them. The drummer is awesome :)
If you look at the lyrics he says "My mercury's in (retrograde)", but if you listen he's saying "Fuck you reason"
2020??? Quarantine 🇲🇽
2024 pos-quarantine 🇧🇷
Oh dear, good old MTV memories :')
The drumming is awesome.
Its also really catchy.
BLOC PARTY RULEZ!!!
GO MATT TONG!!!!
BLOC PARTY know to improve their music.
They are genious.
Os amo BLOC PARTY, desde el concierto de Salamanca sois los mejores!!!
Still awesome
Once again, Bloc Party have blown me away *****
It took me years to find this song
Wow @ the bass
This is Bloc Party's best song! You guys rock, seriously guys, this is amazing. I thought you couldn't get better than hunting for witches or helicopter. But wow.
Same thing! They've just blown me away on what they can do!
This is one of there hottest tunes - Bloc Party on top form on this one (some nice Drum and Bass influences).
Bloc Party are evolving... Buck up, fans! Silent Alarm is seminal, but I wouldn't want to keep buying the same album over and over.
I love this song, man! It's jazz as fuck!
this song should have like 40,789,987 views wt a song

This is incredible live
It's not
+Justin loache it actually is...
+Aaron Wright compared to helicopter...the crowd I was in was dead for this
It's to be expected..helicopter is the most well known song. I went to three gigs on this tour and the crowd went nuts for mercury
hahahah Chewbacca Invasion..haha good call!!
and i love this song also
i was the same as yourself at the beginning, thought that bloc party went wrong but, it does grow on you! that bit that starts of at 0:28 is superb
This song good to dance to along with mostly all BP's song. This sounds... cool.
This video's so fun! Bloc Party need to lighten up more. Don't get me wrong they make great music it;s just they need to have more songs and video's like this!
a song from "fight night round 4" :D love this song!
ok, now i know our expectations of Bloc Party is high because they have made some of the best music ever, but not everything they release can be great. im pretty sure their next album is going to be great. like Kele said the raw guitar of silent alarm and the experience of weekend in the city.

This songs so badass even cavemen can't comprehend it's awesomeness?
It hurts my jaw when ! try to sing this haha :)
finally, someone who agrees ;)
Perfeitooooo
Come on, it's not a bad song, it's just the change of style people don't like.
Everything's due for a change sometime, and I think this is great.
The first time, I heard this song, I was a bit...shocked (I think that's the right word). But the more I hear it, the more I love it
this video is strange i don't like it but i love this song is just great
can anyone tell me what they were smoking when they made this vid???
well i love it
verry good soon!!!!
i'm verry like
wait what happend to my favorite band? first he is legend and now bloc party??? nooo!! whatever you gotta respect what the fact they make the music they want to.
my eyes itchy
the lead singer off this brill band ...was in differnt band after this ....can any one tell me the name ??
Quality tune. Have a listen to THE BLUE COLLARS, if you like this you will probably love them.
MEGA YES
best song of the whole album. actually it's the only one I still like
Liking the message :)
#wow #track by #BlockParty 💀💪💣
Thumbs up if your on the playlist!!!
What the crap, how can anyone not like this song? Their previous stuff was quite generic, but this is simply fuckin' awesome!
Midnight Club LA!
@alkistisTV you can have it, we'll keep this
Where are that good old times with Silent Alarm?:-(
You actually listen to the cd? I am in love with Better Than Heaven...
Bruh Mercury's really is in Retrograde now, this shit just hit me 10 years later tf. Now I know what it really means wow
wat u meen i loved this song right from the start
you cannot listen to Silent Alarm all the way through and then AWitC all the way through and say they are getting better. I need another Positive Tension type song!!! they remind me of what happened to The Cure. they forgot about their original fanbase.
this song is proper good (Y)
crazy...
same here, they should return to their old style
What do you mean used to they still are man Geez they do the music they want is that a crime
I wasn't feeling this at all at first, but it's growing on me. It's not bad, per se, it just doesn't sound anythinglike 'Weekend in the City', the same way 'Weekend in the City' didn't sound anything like 'Silent Alarm'...
I dig it, though.
2024
Ohh, it makes sense now. Haha, thanks for the explanation.
so much better live
Mer Mer Mercury
This video is very intresting you can't take it literal because it's in metephorical terms. So it's kinda hard to understand at parts at first I didn't understand it an was wondering if block party even made this but now it make more sense to me after thinking a wile about the representations of the animals in this.....good song. Good video
yuma, new mexico??! who failed on that proofread?
mine too its kinda sad
Its good because its so different from silent alarms and something for the weekend. How boring a band would they be if all the songs sounded the same. Good on 'em!!!
Just saw bloc party in chicago. when they played MERCURY the place went ape-sh&t,and it's not from the apes in the vid. Pure brilliance. K's afterpart dj set inc: smells like teen spirit, basement jaxx, and so much more. .... this is not the time to start a new life !!!!
