Blur - The Ballad Of Darren (July 21st, 2023) • Page 2

Really like this album. Glad I saw them at both weekends of Coachella for what was potentially their last performances ever

 

I think they'll be back, if they can bounce back from the Think Tank era arguments they can bounce back from Coachella

 

If Oasis can get back together, any band can get back together.

 

Yeah I’m extremely grateful that I was able to see them at the Fox Theater show in Pomona back in April. Such an incredible show under incredible circumstances

 

It is so so good

 

Absolutely zero chance they're done

 

My band played Alex James' festival, Big Feastival, last weekend. We got to chatting with him about all things cheese and Blur, and also met the Darren himself. Lovely guy and really great festival.

 

Here's how I'd rank Blur albums

Modern Life is Rubbish
Leisure
Parklife
Ballad of Darren
The Great Escape
13
Blur
Magic Whip
Think Tank

 

I have a very very different ranking haha:

13
Blur
The Magic Whip
Ballad of Darren
Modern Life is Rubbish
Think Tank
Parklife
Leisure
The Great Escape

... there's a pretty big gap between those first 7 and the bottom 2 although there's still a few classic songs on both. 13 and s/t are two of my favourite albums by anyone
