The last two years, I have provide newgazzi readers with a top 20 albums of the year list. This came out in October of 2012, but I didn't hear it until January of 2013, so it didn't make my 2012 list. But had I listened to it a few months earlier, it would have landed in my top 5, most likely. Seven different publications, including Rolling Stone, had this listed as their #1 album of the year. This is a solid record from start to finish. One day, Gracie and I were listening to this on the way home, and she said, "Is this the new Beatles album?". I am impressed with how she picks up on stuff like that.
This is "Be Above It", which is the song that Gracie thinks sounds like The Fab Four ...
I read recently that Thom Yorke has said that he wishes he had written the song "Girls and Boys" from this record. That is quite a compliment. Damon Albarn is a genius of a musician, and this has always been my favorite long player of Blur's.
Take a listen to Thom Yorke's favorite track from this album, "Girls and Boys" ...
