...yelping antimelodiousness. Melodies are everywhere; they just take a while to emerge because Albarn and Burton have stirred them all together. Dirty Harry has the shimmering keyboards of The Message and the eerily blank kiddie chorus of Another Brick in the Wall. O Green World has a Song 2 guitar line and a countermelody seemingly by Atari.

...create what could be the first disco chain-gang song. They Never Got You starts with another bass riff before adding drums, a Moog synthesizer and viola so judiciously that you hardly realize they're there. The power pop of Sister Jack breaks for a hysterically grimy guitar solo that stops cold at the last verse, like a guard dog at an electric fence; nothing on Gimme Fiction is allowed to get in the way of melody. There are a few subtle effects--a tape loop ticking away like a lawn sprinkler on the ecstatic My Mathematical Mind, some buried...
