Album Notes & Community Reviews
Produced largely by William Orbit, '13' captures Blur shedding their Britpop roots for chaotic noise rock, electronic experimentation, and heavy psychedelia. The album is incredibly eclectic and melancholic, driven heavily by Damon Albarn's high-profile romantic breakup.
