    One of the most surprising and magical records for which Damon Albarn has ever been responsible.

    The biggest surprise is how rarely this scratch supergroup really swings to its full potential. [Feb 2007, p.68]

    For all its aural pleasantries, it seems bored, lethargic, strapped, bounded and paralyzed by mysteriously viscous elements.
