Fans will immediately feel at home, with tracks such as 'St Charles Square' and 'The Narcissist' offering that now familiar mix of weary vocals, squally guitars, low-slung bass and shuffling drums. I honestly felt like Damon was in the room on a few tracks (especially Beetlebum) and Grahams guitar parts piercing through the stellar mix. sforna una canzone (d'amore) inframezzata da suoni di chitarra sbilenchi che le calzano alla perfezione.

la mia preferita è senza dubbio "you're so great", scritta e cantata da Graham Coxon, che con il suo aspetto da nerd genialode, e lo è davvero!Reddit and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a better experience. The newer copy I got just now is worse than the first one because it has mild surface noise and the record is warped. The album, produced by James Ford , was recorded in Studio 13, London and Devon, and is the sound of a band at the very top of their game. The Great Escape' is often considered to be the final album of a trio of Britpop albums released by Blur in the mid-1990s, after 'Modern Life Is Rubbish' (1993) and 'Parklife' (1994). Blur, or at least Damon Albarn, created a 3D animated virtual band while overseeing the first few editions of the globally acclaimed Manchester International Festival.

Review: One of the most successful British bands of the last 3 decades, Blur are back with their first new album in over 8 years: The Ballad of Darren.This artwork, which we all thought was rather good even at the time, was splashed all over London and the LP won Best Album at The Brit Awards in 2003. Albarn, meanwhile, is equally on top of his game, writing the sarcastic Britpop 'classic' 'Look Inside America' with ease as well the wonderfully sinister 'Death Of A Party,' addressing the incoming Britpop comedown. Side 1 of the first record is crazy, been air guitaring all over my home since breaking the seal on this thing. I just wish record companies would stop putting records in cardboard paper inners because this is what happens as a result. Originally released in 1994, as a Japan-only CD, The Special Collector’s Edition will be a 2LP pressed on coloured vinyl, featuring a collection of B-sides taken from the of their first three studio albums singles from the albums Leisure, Modern Life Is Rubbish and Parklife.

Despite worries from Blur's label, EMI, and the music press that the change in style would alienate the band's predominantly teenage fanbase and that the album would flop as a result, 'Blur', as well as lead single, 'Beetlebum', reached the top of the UK charts and the album was certified platinum. Their second album Modern Life Is Rubbish got them back into the affections of the public after their debut album somewhat turned people off (with many thinking it was a cash in on the popular but fading Manchester sound) and saw the band fall behind the likes of Suede. Despite lasting all of 57 minutes, the album seems to breeze by in an instant as the band hops from one style to another.
