They may have lost their lead guitarist but they haven't lost soul. Blur's latest LP, Think Tank refreshes old tricks and brings new hooks to create a great Brit-Pop album. The tracks range from mellow melodical tunes like "Out of Time" to white knuckle rock riffed tracks like "Crazy Beat" to beat ridden, effects laiden songs like "On My Way To The Club." It's obvious that singer Damon Albarn quite enjoyed his work on his side project "The Gorillaz." It shows on Think Tank. It spans from rock to pop to hip hop to eastern style Arabic-like music. With the absence of their lead guitarist they make-up for it with driving bass-lines (like in the nearly instrumental pounding "Jets") and bizzare sound effects (like in the Song 2ish "Crazy Beat"). Blur is back and ready to rock the house, or club, or whatever. 8/10 Highlights: "Crazy Beat" "Out of Time" "On My Way To The Club" "Battery in Your Leg" "Jets"
