Blur may superficially appear to be a break from tradition, but it is a logical progression, highlighting the band's rich eclecticism and sense of songcraft. Certainly, they are trying for new sonic territory, bringing in shards of white noise, gurgling electronics, raw guitars, and druggy psychedelia, but these are just extensions of previously hidden elements of Blur's music.

Blur’s fifth studio album, released in 1997, saw a major stylistic change in the band’s sound. After becoming disillusioned with their Britpop roots and their music’s increasing commercialism, the band took influence from American indie rock bands such as Pavement and released a darker, grungier sounding record. Despite this the record was still a success, certified platinum in the UK. It also spawned a hit in their home country and their biggest chart success in the US. Blur Q&A.
