Oh, Manchester, So Much To Answer For

Funny to hear so many raving about the new Blur record; to my ears, (UK single) "Out of Time" is a fairly pedestrian, sleepytime retread of any midtempo-to-ballad track they did pre-'98. Think Tank had better be better than that. Based on the US single, "Crazy Beat" (a/k/a "we really want another US hit," a/k/a "Song 2" part 2), however, my hopes aren't high. Maybe Damon needs to hang up that coat and just go back to Gorillaz?

Mis-teeq's "Scandalous" effortlessly trumps the last 5 years, at least, of Blur records. Now this is a record with grease!
