Think Tank is much more interesting. Their last album, recorded without Coxon just showed how creative a musician Damon Albarn is. Basically is like Blur (2) listening to that album.

All of Think Tank's songs drag on way too long though, and Albarn becomes the lead guitarist (gag). No hooks either.

Their most interesting album is the S/T imo.

I never said he was better than Graham, but I do admire some his solo's most notably his stuff on Champagne Supernova (which I know Paul Weller played on in the recoding of their second album) but to write Noel off as a just another 'guitar strummer' is idiocy.

I think 13 does alos drag on a bit too much but atleast you had Graham's guitar parts other than Damon's power chords.

I dont think they drag on for too long. They practically reinvented themselves with that album.

It's so unfocused though, and not the cool kind. They try to expand too much and a lot of their diverse songs are generic.

But I like 'unfocused' lol. Anyway I dont expect yous to like it being 'proper' Blur fans and all. Basically the reason I liked it so much was because it sounded nothing like the Blur everyone knows, which i didnt like at all. I also have no idea what the fuck Im doing in this thread as I dont even like Blur apart from one album..

There's unfocused and lazy which can be cool, and then there is unfocused and directionless...which is rather boring.
