dotmusic chart comments: 5 OUT OF TIME (Blur) They are back. following a near three year hiatus during which time lead singer Damon Albarn participated in the hugely successful Gorillaz project, the original early 90s survivors return with a brand new album. This time around of course there have been some celebrated personnel changes as the personal life of co-founder Graham Coxon deteriorated to such an extent that his presence in the band was no longer welcome. His departure is such a sensitive subject that the group have taken to insisting that all official publicity for the single makes as little reference to it as possible - not that it has stopped anyone else of course. Longtime fans will be relieved to know that Blur sound as good as ever. For a group who have been having hits for fully 13 years to still sound this fresh is something quite miraculous and their chart performances appear to be as consistent as ever. Out Of Time is their first single since Music Is My Radar hit Number 10 in October 2000 and is their 13th Top 10 hit to date. In a cute moment it comes exactly 12 years to the week that their first such hit There's No Other Way hit the charts. Happy anniversary boys. -- Nothing is funnier than unhappiness. --
