Query: Blur can write some of the best hooks I've ever heard.

I bought The Great Escape after I bought Blur (the album with Song 2). The Great Escape has a much cleaner sound than the new Blur, but the hooks and group dynamic is (or was) still there. The whole album has a theme of reflection and sadness that I think the band tried to fit uniformly from song to song, and I beleive this forced a lot of the weaker tracks. Either a song is a pitying commentary on these lives of longing or makes a satire out of a chracter's unhappy situation. You can tell the band ran out of ideas in spots. Track for track the album has a high-hook-content, but sometimes they try too hard for that single (Something I think they grew out of on the latest Blur album). America is missing out on great pop singles, it's too bad they sound so British.
