Think Tank

 I came here thinking I'd do this chronologically, but I'm starting with Think Tank. 

Think Tank was Blur's seventh album, released in 2003. It's the only album that does not feature Graham Coxon, which is disappointing, and why a lot of people don't like it. You could get that from a Google search; I'm not hear to spew facts at you, am I? I'm going to tell you what I think about Think Tank. (It's all about me, I'm a narcissist. (I'mma shine a light in your eyes...))

Songs (we'll ignore B sides for now):

Ambulance, Out of Time, Crazy Beat, Good Song, On the Way to the Club, Brothers and Sisters, Caravan, We've Got a File on You, Moroccan Peoples Revolutionary Bowls Club, Sweet Song, Jets, Gene By Gene, Battery in Your Leg. 

Graham appears only on Battery in Your Leg.

Out of these I like best Out of Time, Good Song, On the Way to the Club, Caravan, and Sweet Song. Honourable mentions to Gene By Gene, Crazy Beat, Brothers and Sisters, Battery in Your Leg, Ambulance, Jets. I like them all except Moroccan Peoples Revolutionary Bowls Club as of now (I have gone back to edit this after my original writing)---screw you Moroccan Peoples Revolutionary Bowls Club you're boring.

(1) A lot of people are confused about the lyrics to Jets. They're quite confusing lyrics, so I get what you're saying. Not everyone can catch them. Here they are: 

Jets are like comets at sunset

Jets are like comets at sunset, Jets are like comets at sunset, Jets are like comets at sunset

Jets are like comets at sunset, Jets are like comets at sunset, Jets are like comets at sunset, Jets are like comets at sunset

Jets are like comets at sunset, Jets are like comets at sunset, Jets are like comets at sunset, Jets are like comets at sunset, Jets are like comets at sunset, Jets are like comets

Hopefully that clears things up. 

(2) If you have not seen the music video for Good Song, watch it immediately. Don't worry, it's just a sweet little love story, nothing more.

(3) Fans hate Crazy Beat. Come on, it's not that bad. There are three reasons why one might dislike it, I suppose: (a) the frog voice, which can be grating but isn't that bad and doesn't even go on that long; (b) the fact it sounds like a knockoff Song 2, which yes it does but hey that's not a bad thing because Song 2 is awesome, and Crazy Beat is literally Song 3 on Think Tank so it's perfect; and (c) it's between Out of Time and Good Song which is valid criticism and certainly jarring. Oh, and perhaps (d) the lyrics are wonderfully questionable. Poor Jessica Albarn. 

(4) And when it comes, you'll feel the weight of it, the weight of it... Caravan is a beautiful song. Don't try to tell me otherwise. It's beautiful and it's stuck in my head currently. 

(5) In On the Way to the Club, Damon sings, "My eyes aren't blue there's nothing I can do." Objection! This makes no sense: Damon's eyes are blue. Aren't they? Anyway, I always heard the lyrics as "my eyes are blue..." because it ought to be. Oughtn't it?

I was originally going to do sixteen of these bullet points, as a tribute to Advert, and I can think of a few more but I'm tired. I'll publish this but I'll be back later, probably. I suppose you'd like me to promise that, but I'm not a very reliable person, and I'm also not a liar, or at least try very hard not to be when the situation doesn't demand it. Good night!
