A Weekend In The City Has Leaked

If you haven't noticed, Bloc Party's new album, A Weekend In The City, has leaked into the internets' many tubes. I'm not about to go posting it or anything, but you can likely find it in all the usual places.

I'm about 2/3 of the way through so far, and it's good, but not great. It's nowhere near as immediate and catchy as Silent Alarm, but it's got a few gems.

Tracklist

Song For Clay (Disappear Here)
Hunting For Witches
Waiting For The 7.18
The Prayer
Uniform
On
Where Is Home?
Kreuzberg
I Still Remember
Sunday
SXRT

The song "Kreuzberg" sounds like it could be the track that gets all the O.C. or Grey's Anatomy folks hot and bothered. Mid-tempo, pretty and oh-so-heartfelt. Personally, my favorite so far is "Where Is Home?", which kicks some serious ass.

A Weekend In The City will be released in the U.S. on February 6th via Vice/Atlantic. According to Billboard, the first single, "The Prayer", was supposed to be released at the end of January, but I'm guessing they may move that up now, a la The Shins.
