Blur's first album Leisure is suprisingly great, maybe their best

>>72776076
>maybe their best
No way

>>72776048
"Look Inside America" seriously kills the flow, of an otherwise, fantastic album. They should have chucked it.

>>72776076
>leisure
>best

Not a chance.

Makes sense. Brits and Europeans in general are obsessed with America and always have to talk shit about it it order to inflate their smug euro egos.

>>72776048
What did you expect from the band whose only hit was WOOHOO?

Not actually a hit in America

Good bait

They were fuckhueg in Britain, and had a lot of hits. Just not as big of a presence in the states.

>>72776981
But surprisingly, that's the only Blur song Americans know.

>>72776826
Why so mad bro?

>>72776788
Spot on, I feel like they only recorded this song to make the previous jabs at America seem less smug in comparison, but it wasn't entirely necessary in my opinion.

>>72776048
>>72776826
They had a lot of influence from the American indie scene which manifested heavily in their post-Britpop material largely due to Coxon's influence. 13 is undoubtedly their best album by the way, they have a fucking power drill on one of the songs.

>>72776981
It was a hit in america, just not on the Hot 100

>>72778270
What song is that?

ror

>>72776076
not their best but consistently underrated, just as mlir is constantly overlooked

I always thought that was a synth lol. I looked into it. Some say it's a vaccuum.

I'll bet you that was Graham's idea.

When did you realise that Graham was the GOAT Blur member?

>>72779028
as an instrumentalist, from the beginning

>>72779028
Immediately; who the fuck comes up with guitar shit like that?

>>72776048
Brits are obsessed with America, always wagging their fingers.

>>72779028
for me it was the feedback during the climax of that so-so Leisure song, "Birthday". That laid a hint to the bigger and better things to come, he's such an unorthodox guitar player, in an era of good but way-too-conventional competitors.

>>72779028
Anyone checked out Graham's solo albums?
I binge listened to them over the weekend, and they're all really good

>>72780215
I like them, but I don't love them, with the exception of "The Spinning Top"

The guitar work isn't as interesting as his stuff in Blur, and his voice isn't the greatest. I like it every so often, lead vocals on every song... not so much.

>they fell for the "Leisure is bad" meme.
Is easily one of their bests.

>>72781838
It's not one of their best, but it's still pretty good
I mean, any album with There's Not Other Way, She's So High and Sing on it is going to turn out pretty good

>>72781838
The top 3 are clearly Parklife, Blur, and 13.
Leisure isn't a terrible record, but it's nowhere near the top, not even above Think Tank, and The Magic Whip.
