Much like Guster, Bloc Party excels at recreating their album on stage, but with little deviation that would make a live album worth it. These tracks sound like the originals, without a bit of the punch you get with the studio recordings. I'd grab the originals.

Bloc party is what we like to call a "Process & Produce" band. They have immense technical and artistic musical skill, but to achieve the sound they are looking for, they require time and lots of computers. This beig said, a live version isn't going to have that simultaneously energetic/lethargic sound that they're known for. It sounds like they're playing they right songs, it sounds like the right band, it just doesn't sound "right". I love Bloc Party but this isn't anything special.

This truly shows Bloc Party's talent.They capture the emotion and effect of the songs on their album in every sense.I just saw these guys in concert tonight, and when they played these two songs, they captured everything.

For the two people who gave this album only 1 star, obviously LIVE SESSION means that the songs won't be as great as the in studio ones. But Bloc Party is a really great band, and that one star only lowers the rating, and isn't a review so much as a stupid complaint. All in all, this album is great for those who like the live music, and still good for those who think it's ok. P.S. UR MOM makes no sence.

The side of Bloc Party without computer generated loops is something we haven't seen before- this Live Session gives a look into the raw side of Bloc Party. And it's sounds pretty good- on par with the album for sure.

I don't think so! This live session is incredible. You feel likeyou're there with them and leaves you wating more.

THESE TWO LIVE SONGS SOUND LIKE WHAT I PICTURE HEAVEN TO BE LIKE. AND THAT IS THAT.

OK, do not get me wrong. I absolutely LOVE Bloc Party. I think they're without a doubt one of the best groups Europe has to offer. After buying "Silent Alarm", and becoming addicted to it, I found this little duo on iTunes. I bought it because it was a good deal, and because it featured my favorite Bloc Party song, "This Modern Love", on it. Now, while it does have two excellent Bloc Party songs on it, and while it is a good price, this just doesn't sound all that great. They still are really good, but they don't seem to reach the same heights as the studio versions do. I give it a low rating because a new Bloc Party fan is much better off buying the studio versions of these two songs. Because "Silent Alarm" is a simply awesome album. But I don't recommend these two.

Hands down Bloc Party is one of the best bands ever. Staying Fat and This Modern Love are the best songs ive listened to this year, along with their other songs. This music is like a combo of Franz Ferdinand and Joy Division. BLOC PARTY IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best band in the world. Period. Live show sounds even better LIVE at ACL '05.
