Blur - The Ballad of Darren
75

just got a copy.. very different album for them. Take the title ballad very literal.. Very lush album.. no rockers really. St Charles , that's about it. Sort.of in between blur and Damon solo. Some nice brass in Avalon. Definitely a grower...

Production is back up to Suede standards thanks to Ed Buller(the 5th member of Suede IMO). The sound production is similar to Dog Man Star or Coming up but a bit cleaner/modern sounding. The reverb from Dog Man Star and the distorted guitar tones of Coming Up are back. The songs arent as catchy or anthemic as before, but that doesnt seem to be what they were going for. The album is very consistent and flows well from song to song. In short, this is a good start to a new era of Suede.
