13

i knew that i liked Damon Albarn’s stuff, and from what i knew and had heard, Blur was my pick of the Britpop giants (although i never liked Oasis and the Gallaghers). but even then, ‘13’ pleasantly surprised me. my first real endeavour into Blur was a pleasurable one, and i was pleasantly surprised with how experimental it was - although knowing Albarn i suppose i kinda should have seen it coming. It’s a striking, sharp, dynamic listen.
