No great change from much of his work post-Blur but yet another fine album to add to his already formidable canon. Remarkably similar to Robert Wyatt, Albarn specialises in a kind of wistful yet resigned melancholia that weaves it's way through a 21st Century 'Brit-pop'- rich in African and ethnic music that celebrates the multicultural, melting-pot that is contemporary Britain.

Another fine album from Morrissey with the music sounding, surprisingly, more casual and looser than ever. Although the lyrics retain the master's trademark snarl, the rhyming scheme is his simplest to date, even if they deftly and sucessfully tell their story. His story is not over yet.

Temples are the sort of band that could only be born out of a bedroom with each studied pose obviously practiced a hundred times in front of the mirror and the music a note-for-note homage to that most fabled of times: 1965-1967. Pop tunes a plenty, 60s nuts will love this.
