This feels like Damon trying to atone for the whole Battle of Britpop thing, with a more cerebral romp through the culture. I felt like I had to give this more attention than I had while also doing other things, so maybe didn't get as into this as I could have. Or maybe it needs to be a bit more visceral in places. Not bad, but not majestic.

Probably my fave Albarn album. I love the London Music Hall head nod, the bass, the random off beat drumming. A true English melting pot. Yer man Damon should be spoken of in decades to come as one of the greats of English songwriting. I love it that he has the balls to do what the fuck he wants, when the mood suits. It's helped here, obvs, that he is backed by a stellar cast.
