Eh, I like a few songs, but it sounds very "dumbed down" to me. Most of the songs sound lazy, slow, repetitive. Definitely does NOT sound like a Coxon album, perhaps that's the point. To me it sounds like slower outtakes from A+E, which in my opinion is a brilliant record and I am totally ok with t...

Hi it’s me sushi! I haven’t posted in a while but I’ve been lurking this whole time. Anyway, I have decided to come out of hiding because this record derseves attention. Not only did it seemingly come out of nowhere, it is f**king GOOD. Like... you know that one song on a new record that makes you a...

ah thank youuuu!

Hello! Just wanted to direct everyone's attention to this amazing live set from the guys: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0003sxf There was also a video stream which I can't watch because I'm not in England.... would anyone care to rip it for a yank in need? :D https://www.bbc.co.uk/events/e92mzc...

Here's a video interview from NME with a bit of rehearsal footage.

Agh I don't know. Damon was a little shouty as if some of this stuff was out of his range. I'm willing to bet he sings some of this in falsetto for the studio version. But overall, a good song! I like the lyrics and recorder parts, and love that chorus.

Listening to 6 music today, sounds like Steve Lamacq has heard the album. He sounded like he was very impressed, was suggesting that he thought it was a landmark moment in Damon’s career. Interesting to hear, as he wasn’t a big fan of The Magic Whip but has always been a big Blur supporter. Fingers...

Anna clearly had no idea they were rehearsing and then tried to cover his or her arse. Anna is a fraud.

Don't be like Anna.

Magpie, you've probably answered this question dozens of times, but how did B-Roads come into your possession in the first place?

I take The Magic Whip as it is. A spontaneous album that is full of new Blur tunes that weren't especially labored over like I imagine the rest of their discography was. It's a real treat for fans, and I think one can just leave it at that! If I were an outsider and heard this album, my impression o...

Cool, thanks for the response!
