One thing i would like to make clear from the outset. This album is from the tail end of the baggy era. Four years before the Britpop explosion some reviewers have lumped it in. Containing three great baggy anthems and some great shoe-gazed tinged pop Blur seemed to be in the right place at the right time with this album. The album also shows glimpses of their darker songwriting style that would return with more prominence several albums down the line. This is a stronger album than many people credit it for. No classic...but good.

While it may be fashionable to dismiss this album, and the band themselves may wish to distance themselves from it somewhat due to their circumstance at the time, the music on Leisure is still (to my ears) quite good. Should we disparage that there are the marks of the alleged "shoegazer" sound and Stone Roses, My Bloody Valentine influences? I have no idea why. While some tracks, like Fool, are not all that good... there is nothing bad here. And Bang is still an entirely catchy song... intelligent or mature lyrically? No. but it's not dumb, either...
While I do view Modern Life is Rubbish as a wonderful expansion of Blur's style, Leisure is a major accomplishment. And may I dare say that I'm happy to have "I Know" (which suits the album much better) on my U.S. version instead of "Sing" (though I'd like to have had both)

It's Blur, captain, but not as we know it. It's lucky that Damon's voice is so distinctive, otherwise you would have thought this was a completely different band. Despite the rather dull and uninspiring lyrics, this is still a hell of a lot of fun to listen to, with some great tunes and though quite a lot of the songs are fairly similar and unremarkable, their are exceptions (The beautiful, dreamlike 'Sing', 'Bang', an energetic and exciting song (and probably Leisure's only song that sounds like it could have come from a later album) and the frantic, era-defining 'There's no other way'). It isn't really the Blur we know, but it's definitely a hell of a lot of fun!

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 more

Blur's Debut Album = Forgotten 90's Gem
Before I begin this review, I do have a few questions regarding the front cover of this album. Why is it a picture of a weird looking woman from the 1950's? Read more

More honest than other releases!
This is an album that is pushed into the shadows of Modern Life is Rubbish,Parklife and a few more by the fans and the band itself. Read more

Leisure
This is, undoubtedly, Blur's weakest album but it's by no means a bad album as some people make out and there are also some fantastic songs on here.

Alright Start
Blur's debut contains Alex and Dave's tightest ever rhythm section, Graham Coxon's most intricate guitar work and Damon's most laid back vocals. Read more

In hindsight... it was no masterpiece
Blur have the dubious honour of being connected to almost every-single memory I have of my high school years. They're also pretty much the poster-band for Britpop (still! Read more

Airbrushed mess.
This is the sound of a band trying to search for a direction of their own (see Radiohead's 'Pablo Honey'). Read more
