I remember I bought it at a flea market many many years ago and it was one of the first albums I bought (except the Beatles albums). Since I bought it it's a treasure for me. First, Tender was my favourite off the album because I liked it when is came out as a single in 1999, but then I listened to the album over and over and I got very into it. It's a very emotional and sad album and musically it never gets boring for me, it is something very different they did before on their previous albums.
The only thing is that I'd have changed the order of Bugman and Coffe & TV, it may have given a better flow to the album- anyway it's perfect.

My favourite songs are Tender, Coffee & TV, Swamp Song, Mellow Song, Trimm Trabb, No Distance Left to Run and yeah Optigan 1 is a nice ending of the album, too.

Perfect album, as an entity easily the band's most accomplished work. Deeply emotional, musically varied and miles away from the postmodernist-pop feel of their earlier stuff. "Blur" was the first step ahead and here they managed to achieve great heights.

I particularly love the second half of the album, and Mellow Song/Trailerpark/Caramel is one of my favourite three-song runs.

I also have an overall feeling that OK Computer had some influence on it (just listen to Battle), though never expressly admitted, as far as I'm aware.

Brilliant just brilliant! Blur's game changer. Emotionally devastating
