Blur’s newest launch was 2023’s ‘The Ballad Of Darren’. In a four-star evaluation of the LP, NME wrote: “In contrast to lots of their friends, there has by no means been a timelessness to a Blur album – that’s a superb factor. If you take heed to ‘Trendy Life Is Garbage’ now, you’ll be able to really feel disdain for the tradition that surrounded them, or the uncooked confusion of heartbreak on 1999’s ‘13’; they’ve a approach of transporting you to a exact second or emotion.”
