The title says it all.
Don't even bother picking the ones you think will sound good

I thought I weeded out what I wouldn't like - thumping, typical, any-ol-song-will-do remix - and still feel burned by what I bought. Sorry but can't recommend this one.
Never write reviews, but just had to!

Heard Mercury (Herve is in Disarray Remix) a while ago and immediately fell in love with the song. The entire album isn't so instantly likeable, but after a few listens, and a better understanding of electronic and remixes, it's very easy to realize how exciting and fun this album really is. I can definitely say this is one of very few albums that I can listen to in its entirety, from beginning to end. Some favorites are the Halo, One Month Off, Trojan Horse, Signs, Zephyrus, and Your Visits are Getting Shorter remixes. Take a peek and enjoy!
A great collection of remixes that changes the dynamic of the original album.

This album is raw and powerful. All the songs have a strong electronic pulse that is vividly beating and give the album a rather intense sound sound. But then lighter elements come through in some of the songs such as Halo & Biko and change the moods of the music. Overall, it is a beautiful remix of Intimacy.

This album is so much greater than the sum of its parts. Intimacy is arguably a slow burn album and it takes awhile to fall in love with but the remix? Fire. Every track has been turned into the perfect thumping dance beat.
catch up, usa

Intimacy was a great album and now it has a great remix album to counter it! If you love Bloc Party and don't buy this than you're an idiot.

I wish I would have taken the advice of some of the other reviews and just downloaded a few of the songs instead of the whole album. Talons and Signs are barely recognizable and are loaded with annoying sound effects that detract from the rhythm of the songs. The better songs balance out the bad ones but I'd say listen to each yourself and just buy the ones you like. I took it for granted that anything Bloc Party offered was going to measure up to the quality of their previous releases. Their sound has been steadily evolving and improving since their first EP. However, some of these remixes sound like generic raver cuts that were hurriedly put together.

wow. the "Silent Alarm" remixes were mostly a flop but these remixes...are jsut awesome. there are songs on ehre that are jsut pumping wit house and techno and others that prmote the loud silence of shoegaze. definetly a great colelction of remixes.
best five (in no particular order): "Signs (Armand Van Helden Remix)", "Biko (Mogwai Remix)", "Trojan Horse (John B Remix)", "Ion Square (Banjo or Freakout Remix)", "Ares (Villians Remix)".
much better than the previous remixed albulm

Intimacy is one of those albulms that was just begging to be remixed. The most electronic of all of Bloc Party's albulms sounds great when put through the creative touch of artists like Mogwai and Villains. Much, much better remixes here than on the remixed albulm of Silent Alarm.
