Bloc Party - The Good News (Official Audio) 

"It's not the old Bloc Party anymore". Because truly great artists keep doing the same thing over and over again without ever trying to be new or creative.

I've literally discovered bloc party yesterday, first song was helicopter. I've been listening to their songs and people saying their new stuff ain't bloc party. They don't seem like a band who cares what people think about them. I think they rock at everything so far, if they change direction again I can't wait what they'll come out with next.

I don't know why but I have the feeling we'll hear this song in some car commercial

Why does every new Bloc Party song sound way better at 1.25 speed?

It's different. But guys, we can't have Silent Alarm again and again. This isn't bad.

Damon Alburn has made this song 100 times already.

I personally like this more "raw" when it's live, but it's still my favorite of the few we've been graced with from HYMNS

This is waaaayy better than the love within

Just discovered this band. This album rocks so much more than their first one.

'Virtue' would have gone viral; just saying.

Way better than the other single! I can see the old Bloc Party on it :D

Ngl…this goes hard fr…

:o this song is really good.... far superior to the first single

Alguien mas que ame a Bloc Party en México??:)

This song is so much better live!

This that kind of song you hear at the end of the last episode in a season of The Walking Dead

De la bombe

I need this song in my life right now...!!!

Love U So Much Guys!!!

Quality tune... ! Timeless...!!

In my Playlist "A La Bonne Ecoute" !!!

I can't stop listening to the music

Perfecto, Siguen siento mis Favoritos

What they really need now is another song like We Are Not Good People to prove they still have some energy left in them.

Kinda got a "Gage the Elephant" or "Black Keys" feel. Digging it.

I like this one better than the love within

they are so good now compared to what they used to be like !!! x

Amazing allbum as always

I love bloc party. They have evolved with me.

Sooo in love with this. Going to be an amazing way to start 2016

Much...much..Better.

A comment about silent alarm days r gone. This song is dope.

Bloc party 2.0 isn't really what I expected

good song

Love it. ❤

Try x1.25 speed. Its awsomeeee

Epic track! Should have started with this tbh

It has a bit of an Elbow feel to it. It doesn't stop me from adoring it though.

their music are too soft now... i love the old Bloc Party

Love it, I was hoping for "So Real" to come out today though.

iv been a fan of Bloc Party for many years and the night i saw them live was by far the best night of my life.......but i think they have lost their sound. call it growth or change but all i really want is another album like Silent Alarm. Ill hold judgement on this one until i hear the entire thing.

the love withinとthe good newsを聴いてリズム隊が抜けたことが本当に残念でならない。悲しいかな、抜けた二人がそれぞれやってる活動のほうがめちゃくちゃ良い。一応、今後もブロックパーティーはチェックしていこうとは思っていますけれど。

love Hymns

Bloc Party put out one of the best albums of all time. How the mighty have fallen.

Great song!!! Very Best!!!

i love this.

I'm getting a really strong "Rolling in the Deep" feel at the beginning Wtf Still a banga though

so good....

Do you realize that everyone was saying "oh fuck the love within sucks blablabla old bloc party blabla i cry so much" and now a lot of people is "oh my god i prefer the love within this sucks" get your shit together guys, for a group making music is an evolving process, do you prefer hearing 5 albums with the same recycled songs??? They´re growing like musicians Deal with it, a music group will never have everyone happy! (not sorry for the bad english i´m a fucking mexican)

Muy buena (Y).

i put the speed at x2 and started to dance like a mexican indian

Good Song :) thanks bloc party!

Love it 😀😀

💜💜💜💜💜

This is way better than The Love Within. Still... it's not Bloc Party anymore

замечательный сингл!

That first chorus reminds me of Buddy Holly's 'Everyday'. "Every day / It's a getting better!"

You just need faith.

Goodness

I didn't like it at first. Now I'm dancing to it in my bedroom.

I don't know what this is, but it definitely isn't Bloc Party.

Maybe!

Spent my commission on Another diversion And I don't got no meaning No purpose left at all My pastor tells me that my My light is dimming and I've Been too long drifting In a ocean It's OK You just need faith Been looking for answers In the wrong place But how do I tell him that there There's something missing? And I don't got no substance Since you've gone Every day I go down to the water And I pray since you left me that way Oh Lord, I'm trying to keep my mind On the good news that's in my heart For the good, good news For the good, good news For the good, good news For the good, good news For the good, good news For the good, good news Since my baby left, my light Refuses to shine Like a bird without a song or A sun that will not rise Now I can make the eyes At anyone that I desire Throwing down with all the lost boys At the very edge of town Now I can spin a lie That burns me up all through the night Cause I've got no one home to answer to This time Every day is a repeat Like a carrier bag stuck in a tree I used to find my answers In the gospels of St. John But now I find them at the bottom Of this shot glass Every day I go down to the water And I pray since you left me that way Oh Lord, I'm trying to keep my sights On the good news that's in my heart For the good, good news For the good, good news For the good, good news For the good, good news (Don't got no meaning and I Don't got no purpose) For the good, good news For the good, good news (Can't find no comfort and I Can't find no solace) Since my baby left, my light Refuses to shine Like a bird without a song or A sun that will not rise

This makes me wanna go to church :^/

Ahhhh

they're jaded.

I never saw country western making a comeback. Seems to be "the" genre of most music this day. Bring back Cotten Eye Joe!

Interesting, to say the least!

a random bloc party video came up in suggestions and I must search that song again by them with the rainbowy track thumbnail. And here I am again

Love Bloc Party's versatility and different aspects...don't know why people would want to hear the same song with slightly different lyrics...fucking dreamers this is Bloc Party not ABBA!

Excelente

They are missing the punch and energy which came with all of their singles before this. However bands develop and change and that something fans will have to accept. I mean another example of change is bring me the horizons 'that's the spirit' completely different to their previous work and as a fan from count your blessings i love it. im sure this album will be just as awesome as silent alarm even if it doesn't sound similar.

1.25 speed

I don't want to be another voice in a sea of people complaining, especially since Bloc Party has always been my favorite band since I was much, much younger.. But this is dissapointing. I know I should keep an open mind and accept the band doing what they like, even if it's half the members... But in a world of groups trying so hard to be like the new 'popular' groups and artists, I had so much hope Bloc Party would find themselves again. I can't help but crave that old sound that captured me and still has for so many years. I just wish it had even some hints of what they were, but it's just so.. Different. Foreign. It doesn't sound like Bloc Party anymore. I really wish they'd just change the band name -- The label doesn't fit anymore. I'd probably like the song too, if I wasn't expecting it to be.. Well, to be what you'd expect from Bloc Party. If you enjoy it, more power to you. I just think this will be the first album from them I'm not going to buy.

I LIKE IT 2222

I'm a huge Bloc Party fan, but I think both of these singles have been frustrating in very different ways. "The Love Within" has too much edge, while this doesn't have enough. There is a nice country-esque guitar after the chorus which is lovely, but I think the common denominator for the issues so far is the drumming. It's really lacking Matt Tong's creative flare and it's painfully obvious. Also, some real howlers lyrically in this song (not that we haven't seen that before). A plastic bag stuck to a tree? Really Kele? Who do you think you are, Katy Perry? All jokes aside, I'm still excited for the new album and both songs have grown on me, but I just don't see how Bloc Party will attract new fans with these songs.

this song can only be listened to when you put it onto 1.25 speed

They should have said the whole album was supposed to be played on X1.25 speed for it to sound...proper...

eh not feeling it like the other one still have some hope I will like at least one new song

Am I the only one who thinks this is 99% Blur?

is it me, or is the live version a lot better? dont get me wrong, i like it, but the live version just sounds nicer

nice!

Me encanta, sigan así. :'D #ThisIsBlocParty

♥ ♥ ♥

Gives me an Oasis and Noel Gallagher's high flying birds vibe

damn

This just sounds like an average Blur song

1.25 > 1.0

rad

Comentario salvaje en español

They sound more like Indie Pop. When they used to play sound like Indie Rock and Post Punk. Maybe I'm wrong, but they change a little bit their style but sounds good.

I like "only he can heal me" better... I think TV on the Radio could do a really good cover of this song though.

*Kitsuné Music WHAT DID YOU DO TO BLOC !!!!*

is the new Bloc Party album any good?

is this song came with Rover MINI's CD a long time ago?

No es Helicopter pero oye, no está tan mal, comparada con The Love Within :)

soy de Guatemala, y esta es una de mis bandas favoritas pero realmente ya no son lo que eran antes, este disco es completamente diferente no negare que son buenos pero ps perdieron su esencia y ya nos son los 4 integrantes originales, no tengo nada en contra de que Kele sea Gay pero su vos es demasiado amanerada en este disco... a donde fue Bloc Party???? en donde quedo el Indie Rock, esas guitarras ritmicas, esos solos geniales... alguien esta de acuerdo conmigo....

whos waiting for 420,666 veiws

The instrumental part of the song isn't that bad, Kele just needs to change the voice in the song a bit. (Yes after 8 years I still remember these guys names!)

jehaaa
