They drank in my pub every night during the recording of this album. The night they had finished, Dave and Alex took me into the studio to play me a couple of tracks.
this is so fuckin amazing. I hope it's true
@@bitten1406 not the kinda thing I could post on here if it were a lie - though I guess there are plenty of people on the internet who would, I guess! Sure it's true - it was the Plough in Bloomsbury and they were working in Matrix studios next door. I almost walked straight into Paul Weller there one day, but was too starstruck to speak - he was going in to visit Dr. Robert from the Blow Monkeys, the staff told me later! All 4 Blur lads were really sound!
@@saigonpete wooow :) that's really cool! you must be an interesting fella
Mi hijo nació en 2012 y es un fan de Blur. No puede parar de saltar, imitando a Damon Albarn.
Ya tengo 49 años, y parece que fue ayer que compré PARKLIFE gracias a End of a Century y Parklife. Entonces yo tenía 19. Me recordaban a Ray Davies y a The Kinks.
Qué época aquella. Ya pasó. Pero la ha descubierto mi hijo.❤❤❤
I remember buying this from HMV in my nearest town, after saving up my pocket money for weeks, along with a silver Sony Walkman, and just feeling so happy. I can still remember the exact spot I was standing when For Tomorrow started, and listening to it now, 30 years later, I am right back there.
30 years ago, cheez and rice
Bootiful
The kind of memories I love (and had myself) about many of my "britpop" years.

Thanks , mate .
From Rainy ( soo beautiful ) Merry old London .
Blue Jeans destroys my heart ♡
One of the most underrated albums of the 90's. Pure genius.
This would be true except it’s not. Because it’s not underrated. It’s held in quite high esteem.
@@anotheropinion8638 👜
Have you heard the good bad and the Queen.....pure magic
Underrated?,oh boy 🤦🏽♂️
This and parklife are masterpieces!! I remember when I got my hands on this CD feel in love forever with blur!! That like 30 years ago😂
*Sunday, Sunday* 28:48
Sunday, Sunday, here again in tidy attire
You read the color supplement, the TV guide
You dream of protein on a plate
Regret you left it quite so late
To gather the family round the table to eat enough to sleep
Oh, the Sunday sleep
Sunday, Sunday here again, a walk in the park
You meet an old soldier and talk of the past
He fought for us in two world wars
And says the England he knew is no more
He sings the Songs of Praise every week but always falls asleep
For the Sunday sleep...
And Mother's Pride is your epithet
That extra slice you will soon regret
So going out is your best bet
Then bingo yourself to sleep
Oh, the Sunday sleep
*Oily water* 31:26
Lead in me and me in water
Dangling in my world
I swallowed too much oily water
Now it's slipping down my spine
In a sense of self in decline
Growing fat on sound
It's only an early morning dream
And the whole world will be alright
My heads hurts with suspicion
I'm coming home sometime
I've swallowed too much oily water
It's slipping down my spine
A sense of self in decline
I'm lying on my back
It's only an early morning dream
And the whole world will be alright
*Miss America* 36:27
Miss America sits in the shower
She's plucking hours from the sky
Picks up the telephone, into another home
Don't ask me why
I don't mind
I don't mind at all
I love only you
She's a well wisher and she wishes you well
Wish away, wish away
She no jellybean, she a Jemima ho ho
Wish away, wish away
I don't mind
I don't mind at all
I love only you
Here is here and I am here, where are you?
Far away, far away
She no jellybean, she a Jemima ho ho
Wish away, wish away
*Villa Rosie* 42:02
Practice doesn't make perfect when you're interbreeding
Speaking drivel, can it get confused with heavy breathing?
Mixing drinks at water holes get snarled up in the suburbs
Meandering through this and that, you're suspected of vagueness
When work is done, go to Villa Rosie every night
(So tasty)
Go form a queue at Villa Rosie every night
(So tasty)
Across the common every day, you come across the fine line
But wearing boots can prevent the leeches in the long grass
Eating between meals stifles the appetite; is it healthy?
Coming home, that nagging doubt there in your belly
And all the while, at Villa Rosie every night
(You're tasting)
A sweeter life at Villa Rosie every night
(So tasty)
All losers come to Villa Rosie every night
(They're waiting)
So form a queue at Villa Rosie every night
(So tasty)
Don't break your back at Villa Rosie every night
(We're tasting)
A sweeter life at Villa Rosie every night
(So tasty)
My brother passed away this year and Blur was his favorite band. I grew up listening this songs with him. Darn so many memories! I miss him so
Sorry for your loss, bro. Your brother had good taste in music!
I’m sorry for your loss ❤️
💙
Deepest bro.
imagine having such cool brother
My cousin gave me this on cassette in sept '95 while I was in intensive care after horror car crash..that helped me immensely,still have it on cd in the car now..I recovered thankfully
95... yeah I figured you survived. It was just a hunch
And I wasn't being a tw@. I've been in intensive care twice, once with cardiac arrest. I was only making light of it. Don't take it to heart
Such an underatted album.
*For tomorrow* 0:01
He's a twentieth century boy
With his hands on the rails
Trying not to be sick again
And holding on for tomorrow
London ice cracks on a seamless line
He's hanging on for dear life
And so we hold each other tightly
And hold on for tomorrow
Singing la, la, la...
Holding on for tomorrow
She's a twentieth century girl
With her hands on the wheel
Trying not to make you sick again
Seeing what she can borrow
London's so nice back in your seamless rhymes
But we're lost on the West way
So we hold each other tightly
And we can wait until tomorrow
Singing la, la, la...
Holding on for tomorrow
We're trying not to be sick again
And holding on for tomorrow
She's a twentieth century girl
Holding on for dear life
And so we hold each other tightly
And hold on for tomorrow
Singing la, la, la...
Holding on for tomorrow
Jim stops and gets out of the car
Goes to a house in Emperor's Gate
Through the door and to his room, and then he puts the TV on
Turns it off and makes some tea
Says modern life is rubbish
I'm holding on for tomorrow
Then Susan comes into the room
She's a naughty girl with a lovely smile
Says, "let's take a drive to Primrose Hill
It's windy there, and the view's so nice"
London ice can freeze your toes, like anyone, I suppose
You're holding on for tomorrow
*Advert* 4:19
It's six o'clock on the dot and I'm half way home
I feel foul mouthed as I stand and wait for the underground
And a nervous disposition doesn't agree with this
I need something to remind me that there's something else
You need a holiday, somewhere in the sun
With all the people who are waiting, there never seems to be one
Say something, say something else...
Advertisements are here for rapid persuasion
If you stare too long you lose your appetite
A nervous disposition doesn't agree with this
You need fast relief from aches and stomach pains
I need a holiday, somewhere in the sun
With all the people who are waiting, there never seems to be one
Say something, say something else...
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16
(You can have it on the rates
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, a one week only special offer)
*Colin Zeal* 8:04
Colin Zeal knows the value of mass appeal
He's a pedestrian walker, he's a civil talker
He's an affable man with a plausible plan
Keeps his eye on the news, keeps his future in hand
Looks at his watch, he's on time yet again...
He's pleased with himself...
While sitting in traffic, Colin thinks in automatic
He's an immaculate dresser, he's your common aggressor
Colin's the modern retard with a love of bombast
Keeps his eye on the news, doesn't dwells on the past
(He's a modern retard, he's terminal lard
He's an affable man, with a carrotene tan
Because Colin Zeal's ill)
*Pressure on Julian* 11:21
Only the magical transit children
sing, sing the lullaby, bah bah bah
Sitting on the pavement, sucking on a long straw
It's colorful, it's colorful, but it washes you out
Here is my violence, and here is the excuse
I learned it all, but only second hand
Falling into walls, well what is it with you
You never know, never know, never know
We planned it all this way..
Pressure on Julian
Swimming in yellow pissy water
Sand getting in between their ears
No blood in head in this bloddy weather
Irate people with yellow tounges
(There was pressure on Julian, pushing trolleys in the car park
from B to A, then back to B
Pressure on Julian, he keeps passing out,
Poor, precious little snout, the birds are singing at night
Pressure on Julian)
*Star shaped* 14:53
Wash with new soap, behind the collar
Keeps a clean mental state
Don't usually bother, in cold weather
But, still, I'm getting into work late
And I don't need the practice
I've been making plans (for the future)
Become an unconscious man (all for the good)
I feel so unnecessary
(We don't think so, you seem star shaped)
Have a couple at the weekend
Keeps up camaraderie
And my mind boggles in the middle
At the possibilities
I wash with new soap, behind the collar
Helps keep down the laundry
And, now I bother in cold weather
Because it cleans me mentally
*Blue jeans* 18:20
Air cushioned soles
I bought them on the Portobello Road on a Saturday
I stop and stare awhile
A common pastime when conversation goes astray
And don't think I'm walking out of this
She don't mind
Whatever I say, whatever I say
I don't really want to change a thing
I want to stay this way forever
Blue, blue jeans I wear them every day
There's no particular reason to change
My thoughts are getting banal, I can't help it
But I won't pull out hair another day
You know it's to be with you
Don't give up on me yet
I want to stay this way forever
You know it's to be with you
*Chemical world* 22:14
The pay-me girl has had enough of the bleeps
So she takes the bus into the country
Although she got herself rosy cheeks
She didn't leave enough money to pay the rent
The landlord says that she's out in a week
What a shame she was just getting comfy
Now she's eating chocolate to induce sleep
In a chemical world, it's very, very, very cheap
And I don't know about you
But they're putting the holes in, yes, yes
It's been a hell of a do
But they're been putting the holes in, yes, yes
Peeping Thomas has a very nice view
Across the street at the exhibitionist
These townies they never speak to you
Just stick together so they never get lonely
Feeling lead, feeling quite light-headed
Had to sit down and have some sugary tea
In a chemical world, in a chemical world
It's very, very, very cheap
And I don't know about you
But they're putting the holes in, yes, yes
It's been a hell of a do
But they're putting the holes in, yes, yes
I don't know about you
But they're putting the holes in, yes, yes
It's been a hell of a do
But they're putting the holes in, yes, yes
And now she's right out of view
They've been putting the holes in, yes, yes
I don't talk about you
But they're putting the holes in, yes, yes
Until you can see right through
listened to this album for the first time in years. It was like meeting an old friend . My favourite of all the Blur albums.
Just heard this album for the first time -- like meeting a new friend!
Every song on this album is frigging brilliant.
I must agree...
Yes
They should've let "Young and Lovely".
Seems a fair few fillers.
@@petems3283 Which tracks?
"She's hangin on for dear life.. so we hold eachother tightly.. and hold on for tomorrow.." ❣️😭
I think Damon had begun dating Justine just before this record. Those romantic lyrics reflect that natural high of love.
These guys wrote some kickass, memorable melodies; so, so much more than “Girls and Boys” and “Song 2” (as likeable and classic as those tunes still are). Great stuff that has gotten me through tough times!!
This was before their “top 40” days
@@jnnx Thats how brilliant Blur were, they werent even charting yet and this album is ten times more ingenius than Parklife which is pretty bland in comparison, this has so much energy that the next album lacks.
Two incredibly annoying songs
Bought on tape in a record shop in Rennes on holiday,summer 94...expensive but worth it!!!!
Bolly love how you in Rennes an bought this album on cassette vinyl would have been ? The Best
The best Blur album by a mile. Masterpiece
Um. No.
um yes@@Luke_Radiosmash
@@Luke_RadiosmashUm. Yes.
Never sick of this album - one of the best ever made and still sounds so good today
Cheers 🍻 Greetings from Germany 😉
You have good taste Debbie 🙏
What are the odds that is a train for Kim Jong-un on the cover?
Yes. yes 😀
Oasis were great at the time but Noel Gallagher didn't have the sophistication that Albarn/Coxon had in spades.
My friend you have it so wrong I can't believe what I am reading the Gallagher brothers have more class and are a lot more sophisticated than everyone involved in blur. Simple as that and time is now showing just how good we had it because I actually like blur but buddy how could 2 brothers from a council estate get as important to the people, they didn't have private education like the blur boys had they had no chance of making it if noels lyrics where not timeless classics and Liam was probably the last I don't give a furk,front man there will be just enjoy it and stop complaining about things you know absolutely nothing about. 🎉chin chin
Oasis is great, but Blur will always be the greatest in Brit pop
Spot on Alan
@@lennjohnsonjudedude1889 Those brothers got in drunken fights with each other. How the kcuf is that "class"?
Why do people always compare with oasis
I'm just so pleased to find some many people coming on here and finding out about this album who weren't there at the time, just like I went back from the 90s. Plus people who aren't British appreciating it! It's just nice to see 90s guitar music making such an impact.
I'm Australian and at the same time as the brit pop 'explosion' was the grunge movement. I like grunge, but to this very day, my listening choices are still full of blur, Pulp, Lush, Supergrass, space, Suede etc. it was a great time for music all round.
This always was very unique album, none of Blur albums can beat this one. Props.
When i worked at mcdonalds in the 90s, one of my coworkers said I might like blur. I had no idea who they were and was like, "yeah, whatver." one of my biggest regrets was not following up on her statement. I gave blur a try about 10 or so years later and loved them.
This is the best Blur album in my humble opinion ! Probably their most under the radar. A very 🇬🇧 sound. 😎
I agree, excellent album
i used to think leisure was the best and i listened to that album so much, i never gave this one a chance till today, but i think you may be right. Leisure is heavier, more distortion which i like, she's so high and sing are amzing, 13 is really good too, but pressure on julian is my new fav song, so fucking good
I discovered Blur in the late 90s with Song 2, so the selftitled album was naturally the first I encountered. I then found Parklife in the library and was surprised how different it was. The first one I bought myself was The Great Escape and to be honest, I was a little disappointed at first, but now I love it. It's hard for me to say which ones the best - they are all fantastic - but if I had to choose my least favorites I would say Leisure - because it was veeery quite mastered and a bit too calm for my taste - and Think Tank, simply because Graham Coxon left.
Their discography is so unique its hard to really choose just one
@@3cs3hs The guitars on Leisure are pretty good.
Graham is the man !!
blur makes me happy since 2006. there in my 16 years
For sure man!
grata compañia en mi adolescencia, sigo creyendo que es el mejor disco de Blur y que se merece mayores aplausos.
Blur are to Britpop what Nirvana was to Grunge
Very True
Trying to figure out if you are mocking Blur or praising them.
Rafael Guedes To be fair, Grunge was not a good genre to begin with. There were many bands in America that were doing much more interesting things in the 90s. Ween and Fugazi for example.
BrandNewww Even in grunge there were much better bands than Nirvana. Soundgarden and Screaming Trees, for example.
Rafael Guedes I went through a huge grunge phase in 9th grade about 6 or 7 years ago. I always felt Alice in Chains was the best band out of all the "grunge" bands. Ironically enough, I wouldn't even call them grunge. Just sludge/alt metal. Soundgarden had some good tracks and so did Screaming Trees but overall I always felt they sounded pretty run of the mill to me and kinda uninspired creatively. (Despite Soundgarden being one of the first grunge bands) I dont know. Pearl Jam had some of the best written and structured singles of the genre. (Jeremy and Black) But they were bogged down by such a generic and tbh almost meme worthy lead singer. Eddie Vedder has been ripped off vocally so many times that his voice is basically a meme at this point. Then you're just left with Nirvana which have been overplayed and overpraised to fucking death. But if there's one thing I can commend Nirvana on that very few bands have ever done, is combine pop appeal with hard rock in such a natural way I still think In Utero is a fantastic record. Other than that, I've been gravitating towards the british music scenes lately. It still blows my mind how a band as versitile and almost experimental at times like Blur, could be one of the biggest British bands of the 90s. Even if you looks to the 70s, weird ass bands like Sparks were huge in the UK. It seemed the UK was much more accepting to artsy and creative music moreso than America.
so when I was 18, growing up in Australia, Triple J (radio station) was playing 'for tomorrow' a lot, and I was hooked instantly. Around that time was my birthday and my parents bought me a CD player, they were still pretty new to the market, and this album was the very first CD I ever bought. And still love it to this day, and still one of my fave albums ever. and it's been...ooh nearly 30 years.. damn how time flies..
Me too Poppy love this album. Listened to triple j when in Oz 25 years ago good station 😜
Best Blur album, it didn't have the recognition it deserves.
Just finished listening to this album for the first time. Whoa.
This was one of the very first albums I bought in my life at age 10 in the year of 2001 or 02. Takes my straight back to this wonderful feeling of good music, deep friendship, my first love... A great soundtrack from back then bacame timeless, found its place in my heart and spreads its spirit also when I don't notice.. Sometimes I listen to it and just feel happy :) Blur is just so great.
Graham was an incredible guitarist.
No i think alex is better [this is a joke i know both them are the best]
And he still is
Is he dead ?😂
one of my guitar heroes, listen to his solo album golden d, pure distortion bliss
This album takes me straight back to being a teenager in my bedroom writing essays for Eng Lit class. I think we are all time travellers in the sense that as we get older we can remember different worlds and the present world of smart phones and self driving cars seems alien. Pop music is an important medium. I believe it contains coded and prophetic messages.
Liam Tao you said it!
megaDudeMegaDude Did u have a traumatizing childhood or something? Why so salty?

Oops, went too far down the comments again
This is Blur's true masterpiece. One of the best albums ever.
I would say they have many masterpieces!
@@areader2253 13, blur, parklife and modern life is rubbish are the ones i consider masterpieces
@@catsanda3907 Agreed! Not that the other ones aren't good, but these four are just something else...Modern Life's urban, nostalgic feel with a touch of youth anger, Parklife's combination of tasty pop melodies with sarcastic commentaries, Blur's melancholic rawness and 13's crazy experimentation, at times emotional and dreamy and at times leaving you uncomfortable and alienated.
What do you think, summed them up well?
What I love the most is the "Intermission" betwee tracks 7 and 8!
Best Blur album under rated
I got into Blur around the time of Glastonbury '94 when I was 17. I was still into a lot of American rock and grunge, listening to hip hop, and those sort of bootleg rave tapes like Fantazia and Universe. I bought MLIR and Parklife at almost the same time. I just couldn't get enough of it. This was music that was so completely different to anything I'd listened to before. At the time the Englishness of it all seemed so strange to me, but it was a breath of fresh air. Almost immediately after that I got into Buzzcocks, The Jam, The Smiths, Wire, Magazine, Joy Division/New Order, Post Punk, Syd Barrett and loads of contemporary indie bands that were around at the time. Blur got a lot of stick once they got big for perhaps being too poppy, and for me after Parklife they lost their spark, but they opened loads of doors for me to stuff I wouldn't have even considered listening to before. For that reason I still regard them as one of the best British bands of the 90s.
It was somehow similar to me in a sense when discovering bands through blur in 2015, when I was 17. How did you perceive their late 90s albums, s/t and 13?
Absolute class this Album.
Their best album still ❤️
by miles
Happy 49th birthday Damon Albarn (also my 12th birthday today) love your music your awesome
Wow, You got good taste little Dude
Jewgleare Freedomhatingscum I turned 12 in 2012 and just listening to this right now.
Do you share a birthday with Damon? I'm jealous
Is Damon awesome ?
Never get tired of listening to any blur or anything damon has done. Proper feel good tunes.
Remember buying the cassette with my saved up pocket money. You didn't know what you'd get back then... God i'm old. Loved it anyway as an 8 year old.
I remember being massively into Blur and having the album’s: Leisure, Parklife, The Great Escape and (back then) the newly released Blur album. But for some reason I never knew about Modern Life is Rubbish!?! But then one day I heard Chemical World on the radio and I was like “what the fuck? Why have I never heard this song before?” Next day went to Our Price and got the album. Personally think it’s one of their strongest albums. Never gets old for me.
This LP is fantastic,a new revelation for me...
Still Blurs finest album by a country mile!
Blur's best album.
hueahueahueahuea!!!!!!!!!
I got this back when I used to buy music based on what posters my mate's older brother had on his walls. He had good taste in music, and I got this, Suede's first two albums and Radiohead's The Bends without having heard any music by any of the bands.
One of my favourite albums of the 90s.
the music of my youth ahhhh those were the days
This album will always hold a special place in my heart. :)
Me too
Man I didnt know there was this much depth to blur. I only knew them for that one song that went woohoo
have you listened to 13?
@@neoviez have not but I'll check it out. This was a pretty pleasant surprise
@@nickjohnson3619 13 is their most experimental album by far and a fan favourite! i definitely reccomend it
Blurs best album...
It is Gary 👍
Great album and I love the Paul Gribble cover art.
Yeah and big up The Mallard
The difference between leisure and this album is astonishing
This was their last chance to make an impact is why, Leisure was a legacy of the grunge era, once they realised they needed to be more original thats what this created which is the kind of music they wanted to do in the first place probably.
Advert makes me want to jump up and down in my room 😊 xxxxxx
Blur's masterpiece.
13
@@oranjoe69 Undoubtedly fantastic, but arguably more of a William Orbit record than a blur record.

Blur's masterpiece with Gresley's finest engine on the front cover!
@@selfhelpgroup8750 nah, it's blur just not "britpop" blur
Why is this album not held up as a Masterpiece? And they put the chords in the sleeve notes so you can play along at home, perfect!
They are the blueprint for so many bands. but nothing goes without humor. strong ideas and so catchy.
This was the first Blur album I ever got. at a huge virgin records store. I was very happy because I got this around gorillaz coming out. Needless to say, I fell in love more with this style. Always going to be on my top albums, oddly it reminds me a lot of 90s Lush. I think the extreme quirky British accent is what makes it that way lol.
The ultimate blur album!
I love this album so much
I reviewed my comment and I didn't come close to saying how wildly excellent this is. Words escape me.
Star shaped 🙏
I just discovered Blur a few months ago and this has become one of my favorite albums. Only wish I'd found them earlier, but better late than never. It's better than Parklife, IMO. If only just a bit.
Jewgleare Freedomhatingscum
Yeah, I was like 3 or 4 when this came out, I was always into music but didn't start buying my own CD's until I was like 10 and and Blur weren't too well known in America so I'd never have known them without the Internet (except for Song 2). Feel I missed out too on a lot of great stuff from the 90's which I'm just barely discovering now.
Leisure is really good to, maybe better than this, but this album is way better than Parklife,
No youre right its better than Parklife and by a mile really.
one of the best from the 90's!! so fucking sick until now!!! best blur album for sure! cheers from Brasil
That's alright Jonny!!!
Aew brasil!
If you were buying this in the 90's, you must be one of the oldest people ever to say it was sick. Leave the stupid lingo to the kids who know no better. I'm embarrassed for you.
How did this album get to be 30 years old!?!?! 1993 feels like yesterday....
The Whole album is great. However, the Intermission to Chemical World is so absurdly excellent that Blur is punching so far over their weight it is unbelievable. This is among the best ever in the Art Rock/ Punk/ Alternative/ I could go on. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Blur!
I wouldn't call it art rock
Intermission might be my favorite snippet of music
I love you blur this was my first blur album I bought earned from my high school allowance saving 1peso a day just to have it luckily I am the first palawenyo to have this ...#proudblurfollower
Love this album.
Just reading through comments, listening and thinking...been into these brilliant fellows since bought Leisure from the first listen in a Sound Warehouse listening station, tape of course ha. This follow up was such an amazing feat for a sophomore release, much props! Just pondering as scrolling through comments and thinking wow these chaps really had a Kinks influenced since of humor and ironic satire, especially this album. COOL!!!
Try and track down Waterloo Sunset performed by Damon and Ray Davies on ‘the white room’ in 95 I think? It’s probably on CZcams. Lovely stuff!
I can't decide if this or Magic Whip is my favorite Blur album. They're both very relaxing music with something more behind it to me.
They both have a frenetic pop rock energy to them
This one, by a mile.
just amazing
Blur were a better band than Oasis and it has showed over time......talent rises...
Brilliant album. All songs are absolute jams. I reckon it's Blur's most underrated, overshadowed by Parklife and 13.
I don't like parklife but this album is a masterpiece.
Why did you say Parklife and then skip all the way to 13 leaving out The Great Escape - the album they made at the height of "Britpop" and self titled - the first album to crack America? 13 didnt even come out till the end of the decade. Random comment
Staying at my best mates house, sleeping in her Mum's double bed both drunk on cheap cider at 14. God did she love blur, still does! She met Damon too.
@maripicelli Ha, the meeting didn't happen that day. She met him a couple of years ago. She texted me at nearly midnight going mental about it. I was so happy for her.
This is the absolute best Blur album ever put out! It brings back college memories.
Se nota todo el peso de la tradición musical británica en este album. Aquí hay remanentes de The Kinks, Small Faces, The Who, The Smiths, Stone Roses y un largo etcétera.
especialmente David Bowie
Madness y The Beatles también :)
I hear some ELO in Coping.
Y también cositas medias progresivas, te diré.
Magnifique Album!!!❤❤❤
I love all of Blur and Gorillaz's work and music. I'm grateful to have discover the greatness of each group..
MER Chesapeake Va.
Have u heard "the Good , the Bad and the Queen "? Damon AND badass drummer Tony Scott AND Paul Simonon from the Clash on bass!!??? That album BLEW. ME. AWAY... It's like a haunted carnival..
One of there best albums. Of the 90s.
hueahueahueahuea!!!!!!!
Perfection
Thanks for not monetizing this!
One of the few albums that brush against perfection....... love every fucking note.
Yes yes Keith 👍
muy buen disco, uno de los mejores de blur
I was in the mens in the Good Mixer in camden on the night Graham Coxon bought the car coat off of one of the members of menswear.
I loved when the "Intermission" was busted out in " Baby Driver" !!!! 🤘🤘🤘 so effing perfect..
Love so much coping 😍
A great, great album. Been following the lads since their debut back in 1991, still
can't believe I never went see them live. Irony of ironies, I went to see Oasis at
Earls Court in 1995, at a time when both were embroiled in the "battle of the bands". Ultimately, each group made brilliant music.
Personally this is my favourite of all of their albums, especially "Colin Zeal" and "Advert". The special edition has the magnificent "Popscene", their finest moment which incredibly was a major flop when it was originally released.
Thanks for uploading it. Blur were a national treasure.

Blur ARE a national treasure. Funny that cos I did the same thing went to see oasis a Finsbury Park, but my mates didn't really want to se blur so never see them. I hope you put that right at Wembley. If you didn't next chance you get do it.
HES a TWENTIETH CENTURY BOYYY
Their best Album, thank you!
Good work. 🍀
I am a HUUUUUUUUUUGE fan of Gorillaz so I decided to check out Blur since I loved most of the songs that Damon wrote for that project. But THIS......THIS IS JUST MIND-BLOWING!!!! I still love Gorillaz very very much but this puts ALL of the Gorillaz albums to shame. My respect for Damon Albarn as a song writer is growing everyday!!!! !
damn right
Toni Langella gorillaz albums are on the same level they're really good and so is this
Gorillaz dont have Graham!
Robert Todd they're both good and fairly equal gorillaz has animation which is really good and fluid with really well written music and blur has well written music too
Robert Todd I like how gorillaz is a side project and the music for gorillaz is just better to me
懐かしい。ブラー大好き💕
I LOVE THIS
This be hittin different ❤❤
Modern Life is Rubbish > Parklife. (Sand comes to me)
Termite BMRSTY Agree
Your comment is Rubbish and you are troll
I honestly prefer the Great Escape
all the Blur's stuff is unique.
"Sand comes to me" astonish how times has changed up
The album cover is that of the LNER 4-6-2 A4 Mallard has the speed record for the fast steam locomotive as in 1936 it went 126 mph
the great album
I hate how whenever I'm reading some sort of list or whatever to do with Blur albums, critics and a lot of people just gloss over this album as if it's rubbish. Like the most folk ever say about it is "this album is when blur started their brit pop sound, a warm up for parklife the album in which they perfected this sound". Seriously man it's only ever mentioned as if it was only a warm up for parklife, and other than that it's pointless to mention apparently. Me being a millennial didn't grow up around Blurs Britain albums, the only albums I really used to dig by blur where the self titled, but mainly 13. However when I started backtracking through their discography, I actually found it hard to stomach Blurs three brit pop albums, as I loved the Madchester sounds of leisure (if you think it's derivative or not, to me it doesn't matter, because its just an enjoyable and jamming wee listen for me) and I also loved their more experimental and very graham Coxon driven later albums, so to me the Brit pop albums where just kinds way too strange for me, but in the end it was actually this album that got me into the sound and led to me falling in love with Brit pop, this album doesn't get enough credit, cause I mean I don't care how much you love parklife, realistically that albums sound is very very dated in some parts, same with great escape, however this albums could have came out yesterday, its fucking brilliant. Don't get me wrong, I love parklife, I'm just saying
Parklife was when I stopped liking Blur...
So much better than Parklife. The odd thing is that even growing up around the time (approaching 40 now), Parklife somehow took over this album. I haven't heard it in years - literally years - & I'm surprised I'm liking it as much as I do. Still, I've always found it odd that this gets mentioned in so few reviews of the 90s. Then again, I genuinely think that Six by Mansun is one of the best unheard (by the majority) albums of the 90s (or ever), so maybe my perception is skewed?
I maybe understand dated on Parklife, but man, people give The Great Escape no credit, it's amazing
critics are all just a con,with no real in depth knowledge of the things they talk about and thats why they come away with comments like MLIR is a warm up, just laziness really
@@raycroal Whats "just laziness really" is lumping every music critic thats ever existed together and labelling them all cons. Some might be talking through their ass about stuff they know nothing about and others might know far more than you.
