"After the awesome `Banquet/Staying Fat' single I had a little feeling that the next Bloc Party single would be weak but IT IS EVEN BETTER THAN BANQUET!!!!!!!!!!!! Little Thoughts starts of with distant guitar noises, then a drum rolls and the listener is then plunged into the song (a trick only Bloc party can do) needless to say that it has a great hands in the air chorus and make you feel jettisoned into outer space.

`Tulips' is the first official Bloc Party ballad and even when they are in slow mode they excel. It starts of slowly and changes pace when singer Kele Okereke yelps `You're the one I love' and then you get goosebumps for the rest of the song.

The last track is a remix of banquet which is quite good and dancey, but it does not beat the best remix I heard this year, which is the Futureheads mix of the `Streets Fit but you know it', however the remix complements the feel of the single.

So what we have here is a top notch package from one of Britain's best and freshest groups. Can't wait to salivate all over the next release!
