Most of what I hear about blur "news" now is all about Damon Albarn's views on the war, etc. Not that the album was bad, but I've liked the band for the music, not some Damon's egomaniac political ideas.
The first video off the new album for "Out of Time" was supposed to be some protest video, when all it was was a clip from a documentry about Navy life on an aircraft carrier, maybe I miss the point completely, but IMO it was not a good excuse for a good video.
I agree that the "out of time" video was boring as hell, and I would have to say that even though blur without graham isn't as good as blur WITH him, it's still better than solo graham what I don't understand is how damon can be considered an egomaniac for speaking out against a war that the vast majority of the people on the planet didn't want?
