This is a good one.

Album Rating: 3.0

1992 is actually my favourite off this one right now. Loving Trimm Trabb too though! And No Distance Left to Run, both make for an epic close to the album.

Album Rating: 4.0

Coffee and TV never gets old.

Album Rating: 3.5

No Distance Left to Run is easily one of their best songs

Album Rating: 5.0

Review Summary: Before Blur's original line-up dissolution, 13 was released and it shows a highly tense band. Tension, nonetheless, doesn't really imply excellent music, and excellent music isn't always minutes and minutes of “spee-spee-duh-dee-duh-da-blah-blah”.

Album Rating: 3.0

This album is weird, and a bit chaotic. I don't particularly enjoy it if I'm honest. The calmer-less experimental songs are really nice on here though.

Think Tank is a much more enjoyable listen.

Album Rating: 3.5

The band had morphed into something else entirely by this point. I was disappointed, the magic was lost but Tender was and still is magnificent.

Always loved Trimm Trabb as well.

Album Rating: 3.0

I'm coming around to this a little bit. Especially Battle and Caramel, love the atmosphere on this album. Just don't like those obnoxious feedback sounds that keep popping up in songs like Bugman and Swamp Song, it's so grating.

Album Rating: 5.0

This is so good, it's aged incredibly well, timeless really. My highlights are basically all the songs minus the singles (all of which are OK though) and two songs I have to skip - BLUREMI & Bugman, special mention to Battle, Caramel, Trimm trabb and Trailerpark.

this was ""too weird"" for me when i was younger but it absolutely whips ass

Album Rating: 4.5

Yeah - best Blur by a significant margin. Nearly every experiment works.

Album Rating: 5.0

this and magic whip are pretty even for me but this prob gets a slight edge bc of how well it pulls off all its experimentation (+no distance left to run is a huge plus amazing amazing song). im a really big fan of think tank too but they miiiiiiiiiiserably fucked that albums tracklist by not adding most of the songs they tracked w graham and throwing a handful of really bad songs on instead lol



cannot get into anything older than self titled at all but that could change one day. not a huge fan of their take on that earlier britpop sound lol

Album Rating: 4.5

I really enjoy Parklife but mostly early to mid 90s Blur were such a product of their time. Can't imagine you'd suddenly develop a taste for it. Kinda had to be there I think...

Album Rating: 5.0

yeah lol absolutely seems like a time and place kinda thing

Album Rating: 3.5

Yeah I enjoy the S/T and onwards way more than the Britpop stuff

Album Rating: 4.5

I've been listening to this a lot in my Blur renaissance due to the new album and I'm really tempted to push it to a 5. It's aged incredibly well and I'm discovering new things after 25 years.

Album Rating: 5.0

i too have been thinking about the 5 (jamming rn actually lol). not every song is perfect but this album is very much greater than the sum of its parts and is a super compelling full listen. def the best blur at least

Album Rating: 4.5

Yeah - agree with all that. Caramel is perfect though. Have you listened to the 4 band mixes of Bugman? They were B-sides on the Coffee & TV single. So good. At the time I used to listen to them repeatedly, and now when I listen to the album track, the bits that each band member pulled out and focused on jump out at me so much.

Album Rating: 4.6

Battle and Caramel stay absolute masterpieces, just colossal songs
