did a search......promise =0)
okies.....so a few months ago i FINALLY purchased '13' which i was less than impressed with (only listened once, listened to a few songs twice) and then decided on a whim to buy their new release. i didn't get a chance to listen before going to see them live at 'fargging field day fest' but on the drive their FINALLY listened to their album.
i was impressed, and i was even MORE impressed after seeing them play LIVE at the show. WHAT a HIGHLIGHT. he really made a connection with the audience and with such nice gestures as throwing raincoats to several members of the audience did a very gentlemanly thang......=0)
anyway........seeing them live convinced me that my judgement was too swift and while i like their latest effort more than their previous, i'm gonna give it another listen.
ps......Damon is a HOTTIE! oye

the new blue album is so weak, 13 is their best one I think. theres a few good tracks off think tank but it has no flow and a lot of bad songs(crazy beat, weve got a file on you, pretty much most of the album)

I absolutely love Think Tank. One of the best albums so far this year. I'm not a big blur-fan, but this album really caught me by surprise!

think tank ROCKS I was sooooo happy when I first heard it everyone underestimates the fine musicianship of blur. if only that goddamn WOO HOO! song had never gotten radioplay. that's like, the worst single ever. and it sounds nothing like the rest of their music?

i love blur. i was orginally dissapointed with think tank, but kept listening to it regardless. now i can't stop listening to it. there's a secret track before the cd (that rewind it before the first track kind of thing), by the way.
i think 13 is brilliant, too (same with the self-titled album). both you have to give a few listens to get into, though.

I had very, very low hopes for Think Tank. I thought it would be shit.
And yet, when I bought it, it *still* managed to be the most disappointing record I've ever purchased. I can't say how much I hate it.

i just reckon there won't be. damon's got all his solo stuff
i kinda get the impression think tank was just a gesture to say: "we can do it without graham"
and they proved they could, so now thats it I really can't see another blur album

this album didn't blow me away on my first (and only) listen.
nor did the last one. the self-titled record had some alright tracks. the great escape is the worst thing theyve ever committed to tape.. although 'the universal' is ok for a teary-eyed hand-holding arm-swinging lots-of-girls-nearby-singing-at-the-top-of-their-voices type ballad.
parklife is a victim of it's own success, but was pretty good for when it was released. certainly showed a band with more potential than the glorified pub-rock that was oasis.
i can't remember the name of the album before. but i remember hearing a single from it when it came out. was my first taste of blur. another one of their songs with a big la la la la la chorus. song was called 'tomorrow' or '2oth century boy/girl' or something like that.
i actually have an old copy of melodymaker from the end of the 80s with a review of a blur gig in it. they absolutely slated them for being a generic indie band, trying to do an essex version of the manchester 'baggy' thing & failing miserably. i'll try & dig it out next time i'm home & put it on the mb if any blur fans are interested. it's pretty funny.
i'm fairly sure that jounalist will have done a 180degree turnaround & eaten their words when blur got really big here.
*shudders at the memory of that whole media-fuelled 'britpop' thing*
