I like the video for Flux.
It sounds pretty good. (:
Two single hearts on fire; currently on the wire.
As inhibitions fade, a focused moment made.
Bruises & bitemarks say, "Takes one to bring the pain."
Passion lies in screams of estacitic dreams.

I have heard the same. Im hoping to be able to sneak my camera in and film some like I did at Simple Plan. We shall see. All of Simple Plan and hopefully Bloc Party that I film (2-3 Songs max likely) will be uploaded there.

The more I listen to the new album the more I like it. It's a very different sound to most else of what I listen to.
