Say what you like about Damon Albarn and his music career - he's never been one to shy away from an adverse idea or cower before the realms of experimentation. Say what you like - but you can't deny he's always taken two steps forward, while the rest of us have taken three steps back.
As frontman of Britpop pioneers Blur, Albarn and bandmate Graham Coxon defined the nineties. Then, along with graphic artist Jamie Hewlett, revolutionized the term 'band' with the world's first animated group, Gorillaz — their unmistakable blend of hip hop and pop made Albarn a multi-platinum-selling, Grammy-award-winning artist. The solo album Democrazy and the Mali music adventure only furthered his musical horizons.

Not content with this plethora of recent achievements, Albarn is back again - and this time it's with his rebelliously unnamed super-group, featuring former Clash bassist Paul Simonon, ex-Verve guitarist Simon Tong and 66-year-old Afro-beat-drumming legend, Tony Allen. Together they have produced the imaginatively titled album, The Good, the Bad and the Queen.
Perhaps not unsurprisingly for a band headed by members of The Clash and Blur—two bands who continually mythologized Britain's capital to such beautiful effect - The Good, the Bad and the Queen is a London concept album (somewhat explaining the title). However, unlike the welcoming, hungry and thematic songs penned by their previous bands, here Albarn and Simonon strive to express a city that no longer captures the exuberant magic of their youth, but one that has aged with the gloom of war and continual ecological decay.
The Good, the Bad and the Queen is as imaginative in sound as it is in title. Distinctly average compared to the decade-defining impact of Blur or the pop phenomenon of Gorillaz, this is a record that will excite music enthusiasts with its uncommercial sound, every bit as much as its uncommercial line-up. Let's hope fans have enough time to enjoy it before Albarn packs his suitcase and heads off on his next groundbreaking musical journey.
