{"product_id":"weekend-in-the-city","title":"Weekend in the City","description":"With its second full-length studio album, A WEEKEND IN THE CITY, Bloc Party seems undaunted in following up its highly acclaimed debut, SILENT ALARM, assuredly presenting another shimmering set of heady, well-honed British rock. While the band's calling cards--alternately angular and chiming guitar lines, frontman Kele Okereke's plaintive vocals, and drummer Matt Tong's precise rhythms--are fully on display, WEEKEND features the London-based quartet in a more muscular mode, a point easily hit home by the fierce opener, \"Song for Clay (Disappear Here),\" which is marked by roaring six-string riffs and an insistent beat.\u003cbr\u003eAlthough WEEKEND is less dynamic than SILENT ALARM, like that earlier release, the record is generally frontloaded with more aggressive tracks (particularly the searing, dance-tinged tune \"Hunting for Witches\"), leaving the latter part of WEEKEND to showcase Bloc Party's shoegaze tendencies (\"Kreuzberg\") and pop inclinations (\"I Still Remember\"). Bloc Party often verges on U2\/Coldplay-like grandeur here, but it defiantly retains an edge that those acts lack, making this a distinct album by a band of its time.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47344283418911,"sku":"5021456153077","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/9b199e3cc3458a0e2de41274720d1b9d_2d59e004-1ef8-4a2c-9426-14fe3ffdadf7.jpg?v=1777772329","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/weekend-in-the-city","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
