5 OUT OF TIME (Blur)
They are back. following a near three year hiatus during which time lead
singer Damon Albarn participated in the hugely successful Gorillaz project,
the original early 90s survivors return with a brand new album. This time
around of course there have been some celebrated personnel changes as the
personal life of co-founder Graham Coxon deteriorated to such an extent
that his presence in the band was no longer welcome. His departure is such
a sensitive subject that the group have taken to insisting that
all official publicity for the single makes as little reference to it as
possible - not that it has stopped anyone else of course. Longtime fans
will be relieved to know that Blur sound as good as ever. For a group who
have been having hits for fully 13 years to still sound this fresh is
something quite miraculous and their chart performances appear to be as
consistent as ever. Out Of Time is their first single since Music Is My
Radar hit Number 10 in October 2000 and is their 13th Top 10 hit to date.
In a cute moment it comes exactly 12 years to the week that their first
such hit There's No Other Way hit the charts. Happy anniversary boys.
