I was really hoping this would be good. Dude from Blur has been on a creative streak and now he's making and album with the bass play from the clash and Fela Kuti's drummer. But alas, it sounds like the boring, moody, skip-over tracks on previous Blur albums. (Think "Death of the Party.") Some folks may really be into that stuff though. If you're one of them you'd probably like this. All I know is played this album aloud ONE TIME at work and four people told me to turn it off. (Shrug of shoulders, upturned palms and protruding upper lip.)
