Bloc Party don't worry about their fans' opinions.
The pair say they are glad to change genres with every album they release as they always want a new challenge, even at the risk of alienating their supporters.
Asked about the effect the change in sound has on their fan base, bassist Gordon Moakes said: "That kind of thingworry was doesn't us.
"We've been conscious of that from when we were demoing. We come from a place of not needing to do what we've done before we've been talking about from day one. You might say we are no bigger a post punk band but why do what we've already done? That's how we've ended up where we are recently."
Despite an extensive back catalogue, the pair are always striving to give the best performance possible when they play live and scraps to make life easy for themselves.
Gordon added to the North Wales Chronicle newspaper: "I think in a way we've gone out of our way in how we attack our recording and how we then interpret that for the live stage. One of the most important things is how we play that music instead of pre combining it into a hard drive.
"I know it mean for me a lot for me to be honest about how we replicated tracks, I didn't just need to let the backing track go, I needed to find an actual way of going that. That has been an interesting journey. I have learned a lot learned to play some instruments better. It's a bit of a non sequiter, but someone said if you're not learning you should quit. That's a nice analogy to put into music."
