well i never liked them even though I am a huge Blur fan, i was just so surprised how good this album was. Obviously tracks like dare a used on tv alot and I assumed there would be just a few good tracks, but no they are all good and so different!

I didn't really like Hard-Fi when i heard it...it sounded sort of Kasabian-ish, but a bit lighter....but i do have a few friends who like that album quite a bit.
i've been listening to an album by The Rakes constantly in my car.....it's sort of punk-ish/joy division-ish/working class english rock and roll. but it gets me going...and makes me drive faster

I know what you mean about hard fi, alot of stuff coming out of the UK has been a bit samey lately, I despise kaiser chiefs for instance. Although thats mostly because the media kept saying they were the next big thing and well IMO they have one good track
! But really I like Hard-Fi because there is a good mix, several tracks on their I was pleasantly surprised with how different to the rest of their work I had heard to date
So how big are Gorillaz over there?? most brit stuff never seems to make it big out there
Oh and as for the rakes, have to confess I haven't heard the album, I saw them at glastonbury (on TV sadly
) and I liked what I heard though
