Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Although Blur had long been recognised as one of the premier bands responsible for the reinvigoration of Britpop in the 1990s, it's 1994's Parklife that truly provided the template for the entire movement. At a time when Oasis were aping the sounds of their pub-rock heroes on Definitely Maybe, Blur drew from the legacy of the Kinks and Small Faces to create an album that's as English as a rainy Sunday in front of the gas fire. Parklife is full of songs that, quite frankly, don't make much sense outside of the British Isles, songs that find joy in the mundane, like "Girls & Boys" (a song about working-class holidaymakers in the sun) and "Parklife" (a day in the life of a cheeky, unemployed bench-sitter). Witty, ironic and irreverent, Parklife remains one of those rare albums that sum up a specific place and time (Britain in the mid-1990s). For that reason alone, it can be considered one of Blur's finest albums. --Robert Burrow
Description
'Parklife' is Blur's third studio album, and is the follow up to the critically-acclaimed 'Modern Life Is Rubbish'. With its references to British culture in the 20th century and its amalgamation of musical styles from the 60's, 70's and 80's, the album is a musical melting pot of all that is good about English guitar pop. Includes the singles 'Parklife', 'Girls And Boys' and 'End Of A Century'.
