Blur and 13 are way too good compared to the rest of Blur's

Bump

They let Coxon have a lot more Freedom in the songwriting. That was the big change.

I still love Parklife though.

Parklife didn't age that well imo. Blur and 13 feel pretty timeless.

Modern Life is Rubbish is good. Think Tank is also underrated. The Great Escape and Leisure also have some great moments and some real mediocre ones too.

See, the s/t is my favorite Blur album, but 13 is arguably my least favorite down with MLiR

>Blur is good
<3 this meme

Blur really took Oasis up the harris after Be Here Now.

> No one mentioning Think Tank

>>72913376
You misspelled Think Tank

What about 13 makes you rank it as your least favorite?

>>72917427
It's like their Be Here Now, for me -- alot of the songs have some decent parts (I *love* when Blur would pepper in electronic elements in their stuff) within, but are dragged on for waaaay too long so that you don't really want to listen to the full album again

Both Swamp Song and 1992 hit lows of 1/5 for me, and BLUREMI doesn't do much to alleviate that negativity

For that reason I made a playlist inserting my favorite bonus tracks and deleting my least faves

Why, do you really like it, my dude?

The final three real songs are pm the best defense of blur being a good band. 13 is definitely my favorite but I don't think it's as far above think tank, mlir, and Parklife as the op suggests. Esp. the first halves of mlir and parklife are really strong
