At last! EMI have decided to release a much more comprehensive blur collection. moulded in the same way as the 1999 beastie boys anthology this two disc collection looks deeper into blurs rich back catalogue. a few of the singles have been missed off only to make space for lesser known gems, "to the end","sunday sunday" and "end of a century" are not here. but in their place are excellent tracks like "bugman", "he thought of cars" and "death of a party".
also blurs early years are looked at. this is the only place you`ll be able to get the hard to get 1992 single "popscene". good choices were made by including "badhead","battery in your leg" and "bluejeans". Modern life is Rubbish was almost totally ignored with the 2000 Best of.
There are no b-sides here which is a slight shame but there are enough from 1995 onwards to make an excellent second b-side album to complement the '94 japanese Special collectors Edition" album, maybe EMI are listening.
There isn`t too much from the Leisure era but i guess room has to be made for later releases. You`ll only be missing "Theres no other way" really. its also a shame there isn`t say two new tracks to promote it better. also its a bit light on "the great escape" era too. "country house" was a big single at the time but it wasn`t a good single so it worth missing. i would have included "best days" or "yuko and Hiro".
So overall its a solid collection for someone who hasn`t got all the albums. All of blurs LP`s are looked at properly this time round so you couldn`t have asked for much more.

Great compilation of blur's best but if you really are new to these guys I'd strongly suggest starting on their first album, Leisure, and climb up the musical tree all the way to Think Tank. That way you'll really appreciate how the boys evolved over the years and you won't miss out on killer tracks like Oily Water, Jets, the list goes on and on. The same is true for any seminal band.
This 2nd 'best of' is great for a quick fix however and perfect for flinging in the car stereo for summer cruising.
Can't wait to see them next month!

I've known 'Song 2' for a long time but I never paid much attention to Blur or to alternative rock in general, until one day when I watched the 'Girls and Boys' video on tv and purchased this album the day after. At the beginning it felt a bit hard to like as the songs didn't appeal much to me but as I learned more and more about Blur and about britpop I got addicted to their music and became a huge fan of the band. So I guess the title of the album couldn't be better. The collection of songs here is fantastic I only wish they hadn't left 'Country House' and 'End of a Century' out.

Midlife-Blur Review
These songs were great when they were first released, but seem even better now after a long time without listening to them. A great album for a nostalgic moment.

well worth it
Well worth a revisit. Were you a Blur fan or Oasis? Or Neither? I bought this downloads on a whim.I'm glad I did. Plenty of good quality tracks. Read more

Mildlife:one of the most intriguing pop albums ever made
Midlife captures the complete depth and full spectrum of the astonishing sound that is carchteristic of BLUR, thanks to the balanced sequencing of all the way impressive tracks. Read more

A fervoured image of another world
If you're a Blur fan already, it won't have escaped your attention that Midlife features - for the first time on LP - the band's great 'lost' single, Popscene. Read more

Great music, treated shoddily
Dear Blur,
What exactly is the point of this compilation?
I can't see one. It serves no purpose, and fills no hole. Read more

not Out Of Time after all...
So, Blur have decided to put their squabbles aside and have cleared their heads long enough to realise what a great group they were/are. Read more

For Popscene Alone
That there have been so many conflicting choices of songs that people are upset at missing from the track listing gives an indication of how strong the back catalogue of Blur is. Read more

Thin Tank?
Love Blur, and the only reason this doesn't get 5 stars is the lack of tracks from Think Tank which was a fantastic piece of music, I know Coxon wasn't in the band at that point,... Read more

Not Worth It
Why not remastered? The only way I'd have bought this would have been for reasons of sound improvement. I've got all the albums already. Nice cover, though!
