RollingStone THINK TANK review: 四顆星
很簡短的review~
http://www.rollingstone.com/reviews/cd/review.asp?aid=2046407
Brit-poppers Blur have lost their guitarist, and they're all the better
for it. Former axman Graham Coxon plays only on the album's closing track,
"Battery in Your Leg," one of several yearning, sorrowful songs on Think
Tank, an album so disjointed that it seems to artfully fall apart as it
plays. Taking Coxon's place is just space, and experimentation -- Blur
use their bass guitar as a lead instrument, employ simple but odd bits of
guitar from frontman (and erstwhile Gorillaz voice) Damon Albarn and
toss in delicate or brash keyboards. Their penchant for pillaging rock's
past has vanished with Coxon, but their melodic faculties remain, and crafty
tunes complement the sonic decay. There are flashes of punk and fresh hints
of world music, as Andalusian string players adorn the gorgeously mournful
single "Out of Time." The old Blur have died, but the new, more open Blur
come startlingly alive.
