	Blur - Think Tank : album review
		Of course, the band's seventh album is a very different prospect to previous albums, but it's none the worse for that.
		Blur have always experimented and developed their sound, and Think Tank is no expection.
		Think Tank is an album of wildly differing sounds - from the wistful string laden Out Of Time, though the hardcore punk of We've Got A File On You, to the woozy freeform jazz of Jets, each track is different.

	Think Tank (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Think Tank is the seventh studio album by English rock band Blur, released in May 2003 (see 2003 in music).
		The album was recorded after Coxon quit the band; because of this, it features almost no electric guitar in the style of Blur's earlier albums, largely relying on backing vocals and other instruments to fill the void.
		Think Tank was recorded in Morocco with Fatboy Slim contributing to two tracks; supposedly his presence as producer was a contributing factor in Graham Coxon's departure from the group.

		I don’t think something was perpetrated upon girls, and I don’t think it was a conspiracy of educators.
		But, I think what I see, as someone who has taught ethics for many years at Clark University, is all of our children, all of our young people are a little clueless ethically, they don’t have a strong sense of right or wrong, a strong sense of being part of a moral tradition.
		Think Tank is made possible by generous support from the Smith Richardson Foundation, the Bernard and Irene Schwartz Foundation, and the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation.

	Blur - Think Tank \| Album Review @ Music-Critic.com : the source for music reviews, interviews, articles, and news on ...
		Think Tank is Blur’s seventh studio album and is more proof (should it be needed) that the band’s horizons are infinite, that they are not hemmed in by any peer pressure or record label requirements.
		Think Tank is the often gorgeous yield that those seeds produced, at times blazing with guitars and soon after back to delicate instrumental sessions complete with Albarn’s African influences.
		Think Tank kicks off with the rather ambivalent "Ambulance", sounding a million times better when you try it with headphones.

	Blur - Think Tank (EMI)
		Besides the obvious commercial cuts (which grow on you more and more each subsequent listen), the album's vibe is that of loss—but loss tempered with the knowledge that through all hurt comes growth.
		But this comes on the heels of an album's worth of hope: if the good times are indeed over, then it won't be long before they start again.
		Think Tank is the album after the breakup but before the recovery.

		It was to be the last of Blur's trilogy of English Life albums, and 1997's "Song 2" made them a surprise favorite in America's football stadia.
		In my line of thinking, the release of the greatest hits record indicates that you plan to either bow out or release shite for the rest of your career, so you assemble a volume of past glories to remind everyone that you once cared.
		Think Tank is simply wonderful - humble, calm, and confident, everything I could have hoped for and the last thing, shamefully, that I expected.

		Compared to the brash pop of Damon Albarn's Gorillaz side project and 1999's overtly emotional 13, Think Tank is a soulful and subtle affair—its tone possibly traceable to the departure of founding member Graham Coxon midway through its recording.
		As far as the album itself, I initially had a bit of trepidation as Graham Coxon, Blur's phenomenal ex-guitarist, left the band shortly after recording began.
		It was the one palpable thing missing from Think Tank that everything else before it had had.

		Think Tank was an emotional experience for Blur, with reports of problems--not least the exit of founding member Graham Coxon half way through recording.
		'Think Tank' rectifies this with an easier marriage of Albarn's experimental tendencies and pop sensibility.
		This album serves as a lame attempt at a comeback to on the indie food chain above ground.

		Overall this album is a hit; there are some serious moments "Marius" for example is about a fan who is terminally ill. Even an occasional miss such as "El Nino" where Rollins humor just misses the mark.
		Overall, "Think Tank" is anessential piece of storytelling for all to enjoy.
		The double album "Think Tank" would be a great introduction to Rollins "spoken word" albums, this will show a whole new side of the man that you would not know if you only heard him with Rollins Band.

		But you’ll discover for yourselves tonight ‘Think Tank’ is the new album released next week and I’m very pleased to say that tonight is another Xposure album playback.
		Initially it was because I’d gone to a festival there and been blown away by the integrity of the music and the audience participation and the peacefulness of the whole environment that really confirmed my suspicions that the Arab world wasn’t necessarily being ported in an accurate light.
		And also I think we were all up for that challenge, of something totally new and something we had no reference points for.

		Gemini is the astrological symbol for twins, and since this is Lana's second album of all covers, the album carries the theme of "two" throughout.

		Think Tank Media is firmly committed to paying all appropriate royalties, and at the last minute we discoverd an error with one of the song licenses.

	Slant Magazine - Music Review: Blur: Think Tank
		With guitarist Graham Coxon out of the picture, world beats and bass guitar take on new lead roles on Think Tank, a rather disjointed follow-up to the band's experimental 13.
		Think Tank is less focused and seems to be a casserole of leftovers from Albarn's recent side affairs, including the exhilarating Gorillaz project (see the bass-driven funk noir of "Brothers & Sisters" and "Jets").
		As their label bio proudly proclaims: there are "all sorts of curious noises where electric guitars used to be." It's an indulgence U2 perfected on their underrated Pop album and a handicap Radiohead and R.E.M. continue to suffer.

	Graham Coxon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The album proved to be his most accessible to date and was promoted with the single "Escape Song" which proved to be an interesting hybrid of Syd Barrett's "Octopus" and progressive rock trail-blazers The Nice.
		This proved to be his most successful album to date, and he received the NME Award for 'Best Solo Artist' in 2005.
		As hinted by the title, the album is inspired by Coxon's current on-going romance with a model agent.

	Virginmega.com - REVIEWS - Album Of The Week - Think Tank
		An eclectic mix of sounds, Blur's latest effort Think Tank is a surprising step in new musical directions for a band known for its Brit-pop sound.
		Strongly affected by the departure of founding member and lead guitarist Graham Coxon in the initial stages of Think Tank's evolution, Blur made the bold choice to not only press forward as a trio, but to innovate by replacing guitar-driven songs with bass leads, electronic melodies and some truly strange noises.
		Alternately languid, intense, quiet and raucous, Think Tank is a resounding statement by Damon Albarn, Alex James and Dave Rowntree that love it or hate it, shows Blur is moving forward as a band to explore new musical horizons.

		Then, when RAND is done thinking, they give a report to the government that tells the government what they should do about the problem.
		Since 1948, we've been paying RAND to think about child welfare, the justice system, education, our nation's drug policy, national security, social welfare, just about everything, actually.

		Working with Blur on their Think Tank album clearly made an impact on Norman Cook.
		Because this is not a 3-star album.....no, I'm gonna call it 4.5....not quite a 5 (which equates to a classic in my book)....I think every track should be stellar for an album to be rated 5 stars, but this one is close.
		A lot of the beats lean towards hip hop, and all are accompanied by catchy samples, loops, vocals, and riffs that will stay in your mind and have you nodding to the music in your head hours after a listen.

		Banksy, whose musical credentials also include painting the cover of Blur's 'Think Tank' album says, "A lot of monuments are a bit rubbish, but this really is a pile of crap."

	Think Tank by Pat Martino CD
		THINK TANK was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Album.
		Martino's considerable musical palette includes Coltrane (they met through the legendary teacher Dennis Sandole), Tristano, modalism, and, finally, ersatz psychedelia, which in his oeuvre, often stands in for balladry (yes, Pat likes to play fast).
		On THINK TANK, he is joined by a group of New York-based players with enough cache to make any producer greedily rub their hands together in anticipation.
