Bloc Party's Intimacy is a breakup album that gives personal situations political heft. It begins with two of its angriest, most experimental songs: "Ares" is a modern-day war chant, with seething processed guitar lines fueled by pummeling drums; "Mercury" is cleverly astrological, using a description of Mercury's retrograde conditions as a springboard to a self-loathing rant.
