A Weekend in the City is the forthcoming Bloc Party album with an expected release date of February 5, 2007. It is being produced by Jacknife Lee.

The album was leaked in its entirety in November 2006, three months before release.[1] Faculty from V2 Records have been trying to delete the leaked files from P2P and torrent networks while keeping the leak unknown to the public.[citation needed]

This album deals much more with normal day working life than was addressed on Silent Alarm, drawing themes from the 7 July 2005 London bombings, immigration, drug abuse, Black British lifestyle, and criticism of youth subculture. The album has been mostly met with mixed reviews by web-critics and fans alike, .[2] [3] [4] Many fans and critics noted, however, that the success of Silent Alarm had set very high expectations for the next album.

The first single is "The Prayer", due for release on January 29, 2007.

Although the leaked version is said to be the entire version, rumours suggest that 2 additional numbers will be added on the final version, to prevent a decrease of sales.[citation needed]
