This is the next century…

Think Tank, the last studio album, so far, by Blur is one that for all the best will in the world is one that is confusing for Blur fans. Yes it’s Blur, the magic of Damon Albarn’s lyrics were still there and the musical talent of Alex James and Dave Rowntree were evident. What was missing was vital ingredient of Graham Coxon, without him Blur were a threesome for the first time in their career and it unfortunately showed as without his compatriot for all but one song, Damon Albarn sounds tired and it could be suggested that the pull of side project, Gorillaz, was too much for the talented song-writer to cope with.
