Sticks and stones should’ve been on this.

I'm really enjoying this. A few gripes are that St. Charles Square feels completely out of place and the last three songs are kinda a weaker stretch (if still nice), but this is also exceptionally listenable and I've felt like coming back to it a lot.

I'm honestly finding this to be one of Blur's best albums, and I'm a huge fan of theirs. It's doing what The Car did for me last year with Arctic Monkeys - both are gorgeous albums.

Sticks and Stones is a jam but it would've stuck out a lot here. I do think The Rabbi needed to make this tho

I'm hooked on Avalon, gorgeous track and arrangement.



Aside from that, I'm not sold yet. This might perhaps be a touch too moody but I've already got some highlights in Avalon, St Charles, Russian strings and of course the narcissist.

I'm shocked this is lower than the Magic Whip atm, and I like TMW.

The Magic Whip was easier to get into and more upbeat overall, this one is less fun to listen to IMO. Maybe that's why some people didn't get into it that much.

I loved this on release but it grew more on me. It's not a masterpiece by any means but it feels very genuine.

As much as I love Blur, I do find this a pretty boring listen. Haven't felt the urge to give it a spin since it came out.
