There are the live shows – Glastonbury in 2009, a trawl around the world’s festivals in 2012, a global arena tour in 2015, an unexpected one-off performance at one of Damon Albarn’s Africa Express events in 2019 – which are reliably rapturously received: a chance, as Graham Coxon recently put it to “revisit all those great songs”, complete with a distinct emotional charge driven by nostalgia and the evidence that the once-fractured relationships within the band have been mended. And then there is the issue of recording and releasing new material. Prevost, Dinorah (13 May 2015). "Review: With 'The Magic Whip' Blur doesn't miss a beat". Tampa Bay Times .

Blur from 1997 is a superb album along with MLIR, Parklife and TGE. 13 is a bit muddled as the songs get lost in William Orbits dense production. Zaleski, Annie (28 April 2015).

Sensibilities from Albarn’s extracurricular projects frequently bleed into the frame, especially the Gorillaz, which shows both in dubby, beat-oriented cuts like "New World Towers" and in the lyrics’ pervasive sense of Englishness-in-exile. "Thought I Was a Spaceman" could easily serve as a prequel to Demon Days’ post-apocalyptic opener "Last Living Souls" in sound and story, and "Ghost Ship" wouldn’t look out of place anchored off the shores of Plastic Beach. At times the sonic tug-of-war feels like Albarn clawing at the restrictions of a framework his ideas have outgrown.

I like to imagine everyone in Blur was sitting around a room, and after a long silence of watching everyone else coming out with albums, without saying anything, they all stood up, walked in unison to the recording studio in the next room and hit record. They had never turned off their creativity, just left it unplugged for 12 years. D2.
