Fantastic album, defiantly the best of Blur's. The lyrics are fantastic in their simplicity, stuff like "What ever I say, I don't really want to change a thing. I want to stay this way forever" or "I have a couple at the weekend,
helps keep up camaraderie" are breathtakingly honest in my opinion.
I love the eccentricity as well. Songs like "Advert" or the piano solo at the end of "Chemical World" are wonderfully mad.
It annoys me that this album is often overlooked in favour of "Parklife" which was very derivative and followed pretty much the same formula as this album.
Anyway, 9.5/10 in my books.

A really good record. I think I said something in a recent AotD thread about it being a toss-up between Pavement and The Flaming Lips for the best band of the '90s, but thinking about it Blur probably deserve to be involved in the conversation too. The Great Escape lets them down a bit though.

Blur is like the better version of Oasis.
You got Oasis
Then you got Oasis 2.0 which is Blur.

This is my shit.
I genuinely see no distinguishable similarities between Blur and Oasis with respects to their music,it always baffles me when they got compared together.I can obviously appreciate why they where grouped together at the time but when you scratch the surface the comparability ceases.

Yeah, especially since Blur actually wrote their own songs.
