Damn, and he's a blur fan too. Oh well, it was a about a 7/10 for me the first time I heard it, but it's grown on me since then.

i'm gonna watch this now, been waiting all week and i know he usually gets excited about Blur. and i agree with his score,,, lets see if i agree with his views

[munch]

pah

[elasticaman]

didnt focus enough on the positive moments (lonesome street, pyongyang)... however he is right that ong ong and mirrorball are both weak, and its a pretty unmemorable end to the album

[TripleJay97]

He doesn't seem to know very much about the recording process.

I completely disagree with his comments about the vocals.

[Sushi]

Ummm.....pretty sure he reviewed the fake leak...

He said Lonesome Street was both sad and a lullaby.

He said Mirrorball contained synths and drum machines.

He said Ghost Ship turns into a jam.

He said Terracotta Heart contained big saxophone chords.

He f*cked up,.

true

but i dont know much about the recording process of most things i listen to, and that shouldnt really matter should it... a good song is a good song

"yeah theyre not the best songs... but it was only done in 5 days with some of damons old unused demos"
isnt going to really be part of the general discussion

[He's So High]

Not sure how closely he's listened really - Lonesome Street a soft, ballad type?!

Does anyone have the track listing for the fake leak??

Would be a major fuck up on his part if he did
