After four years of living on royalties from the Battle of Britpop' with their good mates the Gallaghers, Damon Albarn and the boys (minus guitarist Graham Coxom) are back with a vengeance. After a brief and highly successful flirtation with Gorillaz', Albarn has brought a piece of them back with him in Think Tank', so if you can crawl your way past the opening track Ambulance' which is 12-minutes long you will open a Pandora's box of great songs including the single Out of Time'. The highlights have to be Caravan' and Sweet Song', two beautiful songs that really do flow. If you are expecting the Blur of old then you can forget it, but this is seriously worth a listen!
