Every once in a while a band comes along that somehow gain an outside perspective of their own generation, to the extent they can create a piece of majesty like this. Bloc Party understand themselves, their city and their generation and as a result are able to construct a voice that epitomises what so many people think but cannot say.
Back up a second, for my benefit can you tell me what your trying to say, are we having a discussion on a voice and perspective of a generation? Or is this an open conversation on why engineers should build bridges with spaghetti to cure world hunger? Surly you wouldn't want me to get the impression that a well cultured and educated NME employee does not know themselves what they are trying to say?
If engineers really cared about the safety of the public there's would be a non-profit profession. If waiters cared about well served spaghetti they would serve for free. If, if, if.
'personally if they cared about the voice of a generation, it would be a non-profit magazine.' Hideous grammar aside, you made a very faulty point and my response was simply to mock it. If you didn't understand that, then neither me nor all the personal tutors in London can save you.
But also, even though you are over thirty years of age and cannot ever hope to empathise with my generation, you don't even make an attempt to criticise the comment analytically. Music is and always will be subjective, if you find a positive reaction that is void of cliché and constructively written to be cheesy, then you are what most would call a cynic and perhaps the most irritating and unhelpful individual within a society.
Trite shite...seriously, I hate throw away comments like this. Crap writing, shit execution, just a really cheesy statement overall. Back to the ol' drawing board for you, I believe. Song is great, though(your attempt at translating it into prose, not so much).

Best band ever
It's from Another Weekend in the City, sort of a B side to their second album. Search for it on google, you should find a download link somewhere :)
It was and i'm flattered you would think that.
Awkward for you now I work at NME.
@finze1 I gave you the like button, but I doubt it was you who wrote that.

Is it just me or is this not on Spotify? :(
