I'm so goddamned jazzed for this. For me Albarn can do no wrong musically, pretty much.quote:Albarn first hinted that there might be an eighth Blur album in 2013, admitting that when a series of shows in Hong Kong were cancelled, the band instead decided to spend their time in the city recording new material. “The opportunity came and we took it,” James told Bang Showbiz. “We were just jamming, but it was good.”

Man, Albarn is a songwriting machine. Looking at the double live album just gives you an idea of how long he's been prolific for. Incidentally I find it incredible that the UK media still bring up that "battle" with Oasis.

I stopped taking Pitchfork seriously (although my respect for them was minimal to begin with) after the debacle with Future of the Left. The reviewer tried to sell the readers on the idea that the album was super slick and probably cost a lot (in reality, FOTL had to borrow most of their recording budget). Andrew Falkous wrote a response that was pretty loving terrific. P.S. Album is terrific, shocking nobody El Gallinero Gros fucked around with this message at 19:22 on Apr 28, 2015 |

Mt. Modular posted:I like The Magic Whip. It's not their best albumt, but its probably the best album I could've hoped for after so many years. It's a nice mix of the mid-90s Blur and the latter-years experimental Blur without sounding too much like either one. If anything, it's like a retrospective of their career using new music. I'm dreaming of another Blur album in the next few years where they can focus on getting even weirder again (like the progression from the s/t to 13 to Think Tank) now that they've gotten the comeback album out of their system. Gorillaz album coming next year

Hedrigall posted:I'd really love Blur to next do an album (or even just a 5-song EP) of brand new but 90s-retro-esque Brit-pop songs. Like the character songs Damon used to write. I suspect there's zero chance of that. You'd be asking him to regress, creatively. Damon seems to want to always move forward. I believe he even said his initial motivation for reforming blur was to repair his relationship with Graham, and it worked out. I think they made the record because they didn't wanna play the same songs always. I doubt they need the money, especially Damon.
