5.0 out of 5 stars Little Britain
This album is the point in Blur's rambling musical career where it all came together. The band may well disagree with this, but this is the most cohesive album they produced... Read the full review

5.0 out of 5 stars It's all a bit of a... Blur. Well not really
As the album that made Blur the defining Britpop band, it's also the definitive Britpop album. As an exploration of working class Britain to doolalling over the thoughts of Magic... Read the full review

5.0 out of 5 stars This is great for newcomers, not for real fans.
Having read the previous reviews, I can understand why they may not like the CD, but I've never been a huge Blur fan. Read the full review

5.0 out of 5 stars Blurs Finest Effort
I love the rest of them but this is my favorite Blur album and one of my all time favorites. It's more downbeat, emotional and personal than their usual fare until then. Read the full review

4.0 out of 5 stars Modern Life Is Rubbish? Too True
It's true. It is soooooo true. Modern life really is rubbish. It was so much better back in the 90's; particularly in 1993 when Blur released their second album "Modern Life Is... Read the full review

5.0 out of 5 stars A step ahead of 'brit-pop', this is a new sound for Blur.
It is likely that the majority of Blur fans who purchased this album as soon as it was released were, like me, expecting more of the fun, catchy tunes that featured on Parklife... Read the full review

5.0 out of 5 stars Extraordinary.
The Britpop bubble was about to burst by 1997. Blur's previous album, The Great Escape, was a slightly watered-down but still impressive rehash of their previous two; the... Read the full review

5.0 out of 5 stars The band's most misunderstood album
Although I can understand why so many people slate this album, I can't agree with them. Sure, it may be somewhat overproduced, but LISTEN to the album instead of going along with... Read the full review

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning
This is one of the best albums that I have ever heard. I have to admit, I was not a big Blur fan during the Britpop era-I tended to side more with Oasis' style of music, but this... Read the full review

4.0 out of 5 stars Imperfect, but much, much better than its reputation suggests.
The mix is this album's greatest problem. Though it's often said that Leisure is a 'baggy' album, it isn't. Read the full review
