Bloc Party - "Helicopter"

[allow that]

One of the year's biggest success stories on the British rock scene, "Helicopter" is their second single in the US. Unfortunately, their label is treating them like an indie label here so they really aren't getting a push. This is hanging just outside the Top 50 right now with a +5 bullet, but I'm hoping this will slowly build up at least a little more.

Saw the (animated) video on the Rock Countdown.

Eh...this song doesn't do anything for me.[/font]

^ is that the one where this scribble thing is running around the streets, and the band is in this tiny room playing? i think its a grey coloured video. i cant remeber much, the it came out here late last year.

Yeah, didn't this hit #1 in the UK?

This did nothing for me either, but I can give it another listen or two. Actually, "Banquet", which was a fantastic single, has been the only one to really catch my attention. I haven't really caught on on the Bloc Party bandwagon yet.

While I like "Helicopter," it's actually one of my least favorites on the album.

i believe 'so here we are' is their best showing, hitting #5.

Same here.

I would've preferred "Blue Light" , "This Modern Love" or "Plans".
