I agree that there's a lot of unnecessary filler from Albarn, but I appreciated the gems here, especially "Some Kind Of Nature" because who doesn't love hearing Lou Reed's voice? It's definitely average, but it's in no way a failure.

I'm glad I'm not the only one defending this album. Albarn has always been the kind of guy to experiment and not stay put, even with Blur. In fact, I love him when he is at his most experimental. A lot of people bashed Think Tank, but it is one of my favorite Blur albums. To some, he failed in his attempt to keep Gorillaz moving, but to me he succeeded in many of the songs on Plastic Beach.
