Blur - 13 and David Bowie - Low

Blur's enigmatic release 13, is trip though American Lo Fi Indie rock and British lo fi. Opening tack Tender is brilliant and a real stomper of a song, ruthless choirs and indie rock guitar make their mark here. Bugman is good. the second track. Coffee and Tv is great as they show their melodic song craft. swamp song is good too as they experiment with different guitar textures, metallic cutting guitar sounds. 1992 is good too a little bit down tempo to what has gone previously in the album. B.L.U.R.E.M.I is great and very pavement esque. Battle is born with keys and synthesizer to start with and when the drums come it turns into pure art rock. Mellow Song is as you guessed it, very down tempo and mellow. Trailerpark is good too with keys and drums opening it up with. Caramel is good too with different guitar textures. it really is a masterpiece by their guitarist Graham Coxon. Trimm Trabb is good and very experimental. No Distance Left To Run is superb and one of the best tracks on the album. Optigan is very experimental with chiming key noises. as a whole 13, is probably their most experimental album to date, and is surely one of the best records to come out of Britain in the last 20 years. 9.5/10 

Opener Speed of love buzzes along to a guitar riff with plenty of synthesizers noises, and it sounds like Roxy Music. More guitar is evident on Breaking Glass and it surges along to a funky beat. with nice synth noises. What in the World is very experimental as the synthesizers bounces of the beat like a ping pong ball. Sound and Vision is probably the biggest 'hit' on the album and is certainly the most pop this album is going to get. Always Crashing the Same Scene is good and gradually builds up into a momentous beat of music. Be My Wife is close to glam with piano and guitars lyrics likes 'Sometimes You get so lonely, sometimes you get nowhere/ I've lived all over the world/ I've lived everywhere''. A new career in a new town is brilliant probably the best piece of music on this album, its very melodic for an instrumental, with even harmonica making an entrance. Warszawa is eery and a doom laden piece with barely what you call lyrics, a mdae up language of gibberish. the finest instrumental track he has ever created by far. art decade is good with some nice synth riffs. Weeping wall has some sort of chime and when the synth comes in its backs against the wall bold instrumental music. This by far Bowie's piece of work and it works on so many levels  it has everything experimental pop, post punk you might call it. its post disco, post glam and it works. 10/10
