I am listening to 13 at the moment (incoming Severian), and it's definitely rising in my ranking of Blur albums. Don't think it's my favourite, but it's definitely in the top three.
I also love that, even while they're stripping away every 'pop' thing they can find and covering it with electronica and feedback fuzz, the songs all have recognisable hooks and choruses.
