So, Bloc Party revealed their brand new single, 'The Love Within', last night - and fans can't quite get their heads around it. Thankfully, their confusion has done nothing to scupper their talent for similes.
No-one could deny, surely, that the new track has a killer chorus - it's just the rest of it that people are struggling with. It's full of minimalist, wailing synths and builds up to a climax that has left many confused. What do you think?
Listen to 'The Love Within' below
If you're struggling to put your finger on what the song reminds you of - here's everything Bloc Party fans think the song sounds like.

I try not to be too critical on pieces of music, but that new Bloc Party song sounds like something you'd hear at a Chuckie Cheese.
