What happened to Bloc Party?

UK modern indie leaders Bloc Party have a new single out Aug. 10 called "One More Chance," and once again I have a fairly mixed reponse to it. Their debut "Silent Alarm" was one of the best albums of the decade, but since then the band has drifted off into electro territory, with their original passion and urgency somehow lost along the way. Still love this band, but they've lost more and more of me with each new release, and it's been a while since I was blown away by a Bloc Party single. Here's the new jam, I suspect it'll be a grower, but still... I dunno.
