Blur's Think Tank
Been playing this for a couple of weeks now (thanks to the P2P network) and I have to say it's superb.
A slow burner, granted, but it's really hooked me in. The strange thing is, despite Coxon's departure, I think you can still hear his influence throughout. I don't know, perhaps I was expecting the new Blur to return to the jaunty pop of
'The Great Escape' but
'Think Tank' retains a lo-fi sound, albeit very polished, with more than a dash of, er, funky beats.
I thought I'd had it with Blur after the patchy
'13' but
'Think Tank's on pre-order so that's one sale gained thanks to P2P.
