DESCRIPTION:
Verdict: A British rock classic with consistently stellar songwriting.

94/100

Overview: Blur's second album glorifies what it was to be British in the early 90s. Damon Albarn's storytelling lyrics celebrate the common Brit from track to track, with a wonderful variety of instrumental moods to match. The biggest downfall of this album is that it's quite difficult for most people to get into-- it's very long, and will likely sound somewhat the same all the way through on first listen. However, once you start to appreciate the intricacies and unique aspects of each song, every song becomes a standout, and this album becomes hard to stay away from.
