Jaaakkkeee Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 I had only heard one song off it. The obvious one. Fell in love with the rest of the album and it's definitely up there in consistently good songs compared to their other albums IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted January 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 My word. Actually if my memory serves me right board member and toilet football fan Del also thinks PH is their best album. You might be the only two people in the world.

Jaaakkkeee Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 I don't know if it's their best. I'm not a big enough fan to make that call. I really like the sound they went for after that. Some of my favourite songs are off their other albums but I've never been able to get in to this one quite like the others. I'm wanting to buy a Blur album next. Which one should I go for? I was listening on spotify and all their best stuff seems to be spread out. I can't find one, start to finish, banger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Self titled is also very good but if you're looking for the earlier brit pop sound then Parklife would be the obvious choice. I saw them live earlier this year and they were incredible, they definitely have a very strong selection of singles, I'm sure their best of is very good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monster Zero Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) You could buy all their albums on CD for less than a tenner via Amazon, why not do that, see what you like and then if you still feel the need to pursue this obsession with vinyl buy the ones you liked? All the albums have at least one decent song on them.Personally I still like Leisure, although it is quite dated on some of the songs using that funky drummer beat so popular at that time. I agree with PA that 13/Blur are probably their strongest works. Was never a fan of Parklife really, This is a Low and To the End however remain possibly their greatest songs.

Soda Jerk Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Blur: The Best Of is all bangerz. Probably right. I've never been able to stomach a Blur album from start to finish. Good songs separated by pointless guff.. They were an exceptional singles band, kind of like The Jam, who probably only have one good full length, but a buttload of tiptop singles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 It's alright actually. I didn't really like the songs when I heard them on 6Music, but it definitely flows quite well as an album. It would be a 3/5 of 7/10 album for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted May 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 I listened to EP 1 when it came out but really wasn't very impressed so haven't been in a rush to hear more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
