For unfortunately many Blur listeners, <i>Leisure</i> is disposable embryonic crap and <i>13</i> is a bunch of pretentious artsy crap. The adherence to formula that turns you off is the exact thing that <i>would</i> put it in their "top five"s - up to now, all that this sort of fan would really have was a "top four".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660808341284783109.post-46131081884391322722015-05-17T21:34:46.591+03:002015-05-17T21:34:46.591+03:00You have not done your research on this one. Blur ...You have not done your research on this one. Blur got together for about a week, Damon wrote a bunch of demos and that was that - apart from it wasn't. Graham Coxon and Stephen Street took those demos (with next to NO input from Damon) and re-worked them into this Blur album. Hence, it really isn't a proper Blur album - but is as likely close to one as we are lucky enough to get. Of course, it isn't a patch on their best work. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
