Blur -- Think Tank


Blur is one of the leading groups in the Brit Pop movement, they had many hit songs in Britain and a couple in America. Their possible final album entitled Think Tank is in my opinion their most interesting album. This album was when the guitarist Graham Coxon decided to leave the band. Graham and Damon Albarn (lead singer) were both instumental in the writing of many of Blur's songs. Damon Albarn, the mastermind behind The Gorillaz decided to take it full force, but because of not having Coxon they had to rely on not using the electric guitar, which led to a lot of really cool things happening. This album has the feel of being the connecting link between Blur and The Gorillaz. It has a very interesting air of experimentation as well as being able to produce hit songs. One thing that may have also led to this being such a good album is "Fatboy Slim" was the supervising producer of the album and appears in two tracks as well. This is a very good album and is in my opinion Blur's best album. Unfortuantly it doesn't look like they will be able to create another one that would add onto the success this one recieved.

If you like British music, get this album. If you like Blur and/or the Gorillaz then you'll like this album. It's a very good album and I give it a lot of praise, check it out. 4 out of 4 stars.
