The follow-up to their smash debut,"Silent Alarm", is every bit as bright, powerful, and catchy, with the addition of more muscle, attitude, depth, and a bit of polish courtesy of their producer, Jacknife Lee (U2, Snow Patrol). Inspired by lead singer Kele Okereke's interest in what he calls"the living noise of a metropolis", this record captures every detail of daily life in a modern city from the ebullient to the mundane.
