A bit on the later end of the “Classic Rock Timeline,” this album to me represents a key point in the transition from 80s-90s garage band movements (like the various waves of Punk Rock, alternative, grunge, Britpop and News Wave) to the 2000s “post-punk” era. You can hear the reckless, stripped down early punk inspiration going all the way back to the likes of the Ramones and the rollicking baseline of alternative rockers like Smashing Pumpkins. This accents the production and fuzziness of the 2000s Strokes and - of course - Gorillaz. Blur frontman Damon Albarn would go on to found Gorillaz, a connection which can really be heard on tracks like this, but also on more experimental Blur tracks like Music is My Radar. That’s my personal take on it. What do you think?
