This is the one to get. solid DMM mastering. thumping bass and all the other goodies. don't let the time length fool ya! sounds amazing from start to finish. -
Something about this era of Blur is SO magical! It feels like they were having fun telling a story and experimenting & expanding on their sound. I look forward to owning this on vinyl ONE day! -
ok i dont get why damon calls this a mess when think tank was clearly that. this will always be a legendary piece of work. mockney as a genre was pretty good! and no love songs which makes it so refreshing. so much catchy material and humour. the next album was of course very different but still great
-
"Eine Kleine Lift Musik" would have fitted in very well on this album imo, maybe sequenced after "Dan Abnormal" -
Little bit quiet owing to the length of the sides, but crank it up and it sounds fantastic - so much punch and range with sparkling detail and a thumping bottom end. In short, a brilliant pressing (and you don't have to keep changing the sides over like you do on the 2012 repress).
