Review title: Self-indulgent twaddle from England's most talented band
Product review: Some claim to see 13 as a sign of the band's evolution. Well, let's not forget that evolving is not a synonym for improving, it is simply superior adaptation to one's environment. Here Blur continues to adapt to the American mainstream, i.e. pseudo-alternative, while ditching the pop sensibilities that made them distinctive and great. Really, any of a thousand American bands could have recorded this self-indulgent solipsistic noise fest, how many bands working today have the chops to create an album like "Great Escape"? Damon has turned into the stereotypical rock star, boring us with his "pain." What a wanker. Everyone's been there. What we need today is more intelligence and thought in pop music and Blur is no longer ready to provide it. What a dissapointment.
