Ten bucks says English alternative rock band Blur's second studio offering's title is easily relatable. Putting that aside, Modern Life Is Rubbish is not without a sense of class and has been called one of the definitive releases of the Britpop scene. It may not be flawless, although it is without exaggeration quite an influential monster. Lushly produced for the most part and cohesive like a canary sipping on bathwater, this is a record that wouldn't have a whole lot of personality if it weren't for Damon Albarn's unforgettably suave vocal performance and Graham Coxon's punchy, refined guitar work; "Pressure on Julian" and "Chemical World", for instance, are two tracks that showcase the latter's skills so well.

Revolutionary album with very innovative sounds and lyrics, guided by Damon Albarn's (at
the time not understood) genius and by Graham Coxon's marvellous guitar riffs. It may be
considered the first real britpop album, which style has been later copied by almost every
britpop band (except few bands like Suede or Pulp), from Oasis to Supergrass and many
others.
Highlights:
- For Tomorrow
- Colin Zeal
- Chemical World
- Villa Rosie

Almost as good as the blockbuster that was Parklife (or perhaps just as good). Modern Life Is Rubbish is classic Blur and an essential record for every alt. rock and britpop fan. 'Chemical World' and 'For Tomorrow' are two of the greatest songs by them , and possibly two of the best songs of the 90s.
