Blur will be releasing their eighth studio album - and the first for twelve years - at the end of April :cheer:

Sounds good. Looking forward to hearing more from them.

 

I hope the rumors of a new Gorillaz album this year are true too. There's been lots of speculation on social media.

Not hugely impressed by 'Go Out' but hopefully there will be better to come.

It's kind of awkward sounding but Blur have done that before. At least it's interesting.

Yes, that's a good point. Better to be challenging than derivative.

This has grown on me hugely. I dunno why but I never got into Under The Westway much but this has just hit the spot.

Anybody heard the follow-up tracks Lonesome Street and There Are Too Many Of Us? Not made it onto them yet myself as still taking in Go Out which I think is an ace song! Just over three weeks until the album!

I've heard Lonesome Street. That, and Go Out, make me very optimistic about the album.

 

BTW, welcome to BJ spthoons.

Cheers Suedehead! :D nice name btw. ;)

 

Keep hearing lots of positive things about Lonesome Street. Do wonder whether to wait for the album before listening to any other tracks though, I think Go Out will keep me occupied enough for the next few weeks.

Go Out was really immediate and the other two are really growing ome.

This is definitely not going to be a pale retread of past glories.

Anyone else going to see them at Hyde Park in June? I really can't wait for the album and to finally see them live.

Too slow for tickets unfortunately. Otherwise I'd be there! :cry:

I've seen them several times (including a gig that was so shambolic, many people thought it would be their last), but I'll miss this one :(

Lonesome Street is not bad, but I haven't huge hopes for the album in general.

Really liking "Lonesome Street". There's an official video for it now.

 

Was holding off until the album before listening to any more tracks but 'Lonesome Street' came on the radio at work earlier. Looking forward to the album even more now!

I can't believe they've went for an 8th studio release, its getting redic. Alburn is well and truley over the hill
