Song |
The original version of the song represented a drastic change to Bloc Party's older songs due to the very experimental nature of the song, incorporating elements of choral music with rapped verses by lead singer Kele Okereke. It has a very hardcore, mosh like delivery, compared to the ravey sound of the remix by Villains.
