Title: A varied album that works in most listening moods
Product review: Often your first impression about a band can be wrong: this was my experience with R.E.M., and more recently, Blur. I first heard them when in their "Boys who like Girls" era, and my reaction was one of immediate distaste. Later, when I heard the catchy (if overplayed) "Song 2", I decided to be a bit more lenient. On recommendation from friends, I bought the self-titled album. My friends were right.I cannot admit to finding a song here I dislike. The fuzzy, juiced-up guitars, Albarn's maybe-I'm-drunk-and-maybe-I'm-not delivery, all combine to give us something with more fun and at the same time, more real pathos than Oasis could ever dream of.And yes, I still like "Song 2". How can you not dig a song that goes "WOO HOO!"?
