You can stream Bloc Party's latest "The Prayer" here. Sound quality isn't the best, but I wouldn't know, I refuse to listen to it outside of the context of the album. I am taking P4K's word for it:
"Okereke's pleas are backed by monk-ish backing chants reminiscent of his band's breakout single 'Banquet', as well as stomping and clapping that begins as if in a schoolyard but slowly mutates, without changing at all, into something more martial. Bell-like keyboards ping off of the chorus ('Tonight make me unstoppable!') and an abrasive guitar solo cuts through it all like a blinding light.
"The muddy sound quality on this stream leaves a lot to be desired, but trust me on this: it isn't just one of the best songs on the album. It's one of the best songs Bloc Party's ever written."

what, is this Amy Phillips' way of making up for that SSPU comment? F her. This song is great, I'm not sure it's their best yet, but this album is an outstanding follow-up to a near-perfect record.
